The problem is not the door (you can find it in a good scrapyard) but the sill: it can be perfectly repaired but the body shop has to be equipped (e.g. electric dent puller) to pull correctly the metal sheet of the damaged sill.

The problem here in Italy is not exactly the MOT (anything has 4 wheels and a license plate usually passes...) the problem are the insurance companies: in case of accident, the police random carry out an inspection and check the main characteristic of vehicles; if something isn't "legal" the...

Hi Seb, many thanks again for your message and thank you for your generous proposal; it stimulated me to ask for information. I got data from national MOT and they stated that the change of certain measure on tyres is not allowed. On K11, for example, the low prifile tires are not approved. Even...

Hello Seb, thanks for your message. While I was looking for these wheels, I came across this video: At about minute 8:00 it's possible to see the wheels mounted on the car and, on the back, they appear more prominent than I expected. The front, instead, is well balanced. So I did a better...

Hello all, I looked for a 15 inch steely wheels but here seems difficult to find it. Moreover I didn't see nice studs. So I broadened my horizons and focused on alloy wheels. The original Nissan (Almera, 200SX, Sentra etc.) are difficult to find, also because I would need 4 of them. These is...

Alex, many many thanks. I supposed an easy add on but without schemas I would find big surprises under the lift. Thanks again.

Hello all over, so, it wouldn't seem like a simple "just add antiroll bars". I start to guess that the shock absorbers have to be changed. Infact I suspect that the K11s with factory antiroll bars have the oil absorbers while the K11s that have not anti-roll bars (my K11) have gas pressurized...

According to the "web authorities" in the car's wheel size dogma, the only 15 inch steel rim that properly fits on Micra K11 seems to be: Subaru Justy (MY 1994) (Applause! The most rare car in Europe! ) These are its magic numbers: 5.5Jx15 / ET42 / center bore 59,1 / PCB 4X100. Seems to be...

Hello all over, does someone already experimented a 15 inch steel rims for K11? In my mind I was convinced that the Almera was the solution but the PCD is different. When the PCD is correct, the center bore is too small. Or at least those are the numbers I found. Any hint? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Paul, it was interesting. But next time I'll follow the suggestion: brand new. 😊

Well, considering that in the mornings I stay lazy in bed until 5.30 and in the evening I go to sleep early, more or less around midnight, taking in count that during the day I have nothing to do (😆), I said: "why don't you try to play with the window regulator????" Genius. So I did. The plastic...

Thanks, I'll try hard!!

I mean, just the rack.

Hello Micra Paul, thanks for the suggestion. Does Nissan/others sell the toothed part for K11?

Glad to feel not alone in this art of making do...

This is an example of the common condition/level of wear of used mechnism on national ebay: Its' clear the wear level of the last (or first?) five theet of the rack. That's my attack strategy: a day off from the job, dismantle the mechanism, welding session, Tibetan and patient iron file...

My glass is also loose on the grippers and I tought to use a marine sealant to lock it; but the main problem is the "gun machine" that doesn't allow the glass to close completely. Once upon, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I rebuilt a couple of teeth of a rack with a welder and an...

It's electric. But probably I'll choose for a brand new one: for many other fix I tried in some breackers but the condition of spares were often worst than mine. Internet should offer such kind of spares for these cars. Or not?

Hello jls, thanks for answering; I suppose it's something that can't be repaired, it sounds needing to change the whole mechanism.

Hello everyone, as for title... And when I try to close it, I hear a machine gun noise from the door panel. But the half-inch slit remains. It's remarkable that every time I solve something, the cute car continues to find new winning moves in this chess game. I'm pretty shure that somewhere here...
