I think Ed is my next solution if my next fix doesn't work. My friend just took my ECU out and it's lovely and wet :) I think a hairdryer on it might fix my issues. I'll get it dry and re-install then see if it fixes See images:

Mine's not the facelift. The man at the scrapyard has a pre-nats ECU, 0 261 200 957 (www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170959626075) I don't think this will fit mine. I'm really stuck for what to do here. I can't find the correct parts for my car & apparently Nissan will charge £750 for an ECU. I got the car...

Yeh haha, I should be able to find it, a scrapyard sounds like he's got the bit for me (K11 first generation anyway)

Thanks frank, do you know exactly where, or have a picture of the box from the n/s pillar? Edit, FYI all, my Micra is a 1.3 SR 1997 first generation of the K11's (K11C has the newer chrome grill attached to the bonnet)

Current ECU is www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161065740108 (0 261 204 243) Could anyone advise a pre-nats ECU that is plug & play, same connection as this one? Otherwise I'll go my local breakers yard, they quoted me £60 for the ECU, Transponder & Key chip Can someone also advise why I'd need the ignition...

Expensive to say I can get a working ECU reader & key chips on eBay for £50. I think I'll go to ebay for just a replacement ECU :)

Got the RAC out today to look (used someone's breakdown cover) and he confirmed it's the NATs. Does anyone know the best place for a pre-nats ECU? That should fix all my issues :)

I'll try my spare key tomorrow, if it is nats that may be making it cut out The chip in my key could be defunct?

I don't know if any is getting into the ECU, but its definitely getting into the air vents.. I've had the micra for a few months already and never had any water issues, plus it would've screwed up yesterday with all the driving in heavy rain, or first thing in the morning. It didn't rain at all...

Also, things to note: I did about a 70 mile trip yesterday in heavy rain, no problems at all. It leaks water in the passenger footwell through the vents (can hear it sloshing around when it's raining and heaters are on), but this has never caused me any issues. It hadn't rained today up until...

I have a 1.3 Micra, N reg (I think) I drove it to work (5 miles) & drove it at 12pm on my lunch (around 3 miles) It ran fine, no issues, sounds or anything abnormal whatsoever. Finished work at 5pm, got in the car, started the engine. I put my seatbelt on & the engine cut out. Tried again...

I started driving at 17, here's a breakdown: 17 yrs old, Ford Fiesta 1.3, first 6 months (provisional licence) £1200, then when I passed another £1500. Forgot the company Second year, same company same car, £2000, then got a 1.6 fiesta sport and they wanted £50 more Third year, ended up with a...

It came from a dealer, was a part ex apparently. It's definitely been clocked back, but was only £400 so a bargain It's in very good condition apart from the right wing with a bit of a dint and rust, I drive it already :)

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep it till the next MOT and see what happens :)
