Hi there, Well I thought it better to start a new thread seeing as there is one on a manual car. I am doing alot of deliveries as you guys may know, and sometimes when I'm maneuvering, I get a *scrape scrape scrape* noise as the wheels go round; no idea where it's coming from as I'm driving...

Hi there guys, Whats the lowest I can push my fuel level to? I am about half way between a quarter and red at the moment, and just wondered how much further i would be able to go with that and how low I can actually let it fall to before grinding to a halt. Also, I have never seen the fuel...

Oh right.. isn't that overloading the tyres? I've read a few articles now about getting them "just right" and that doing them too much will make them puff out more at the bases and make braking/cornering a bit harder. Also, is it true I should do all the tyres the same pressure?

aren't I going to blow the tyres!? I don't know if they can stand that....

Actually, my micra is a 998cc. Hah! My tyre pressures are set above the recommended amount for 2 people (I think off the top of my head, the front ones are 32PSI and the rear ones are 27 or 29 PSI). Should I make them harder? I am only doing deliveries and driving on tarmac all the time...

UPDATE: Well, I thought it was 3 seconds... it's about 0.5seconds. It felt like much longer.... anyway, after it is warmed up, it doesn't do it at all. Strange...

Ah right.. i'm not going to be going crazy, i just want to look after my car and make it last as long as possible. it's probably not worth my while if i'm not going to be going mad on the revs then...

frank2 - thanks.. it's a bit confusing how to read off the NCVT fluid level... i'll see! my light doesn't appear to be getting longer... and when the car is warm (i.e. i'm turning it on and off doing deliveries) the light doesn't even come on any more. it's only when it is cold. the temperature...

Right i see... but the question still remains; by doing any of this, will the car become less economical? offie

Hi there, Might be a stupid question and excuse my 3 posts in 1 hour, but by fitting an induction kit and getting more power, am I going to be making the micra spew more fumes and drink fuel faster? Offie.

Hey there again, I have started doing deliveries and I am starting/stopping the car all the time, cranking into reverse, going hard into drive, ignition goes on and off... I can't imagine any of this is doing the car much good and the last thing I want to do is to break it! A CVT system is...

Hi there, Since my throttle body has been playing up, (THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GUIDE!!! IT HAS FIXED IT!), when starting up the micra, the oil light stays on for about 2-3 seconds, then switches off. The oil is fresh (about 2 months) and the level is high. The car seems to be driving fine...
