    Removing the old aerial / Radio reception issues

    Hi. Any help is welcomed here. I have a 1998 Micra. It has a Sony X-plod radio CD, but the last few months the reception has been awful. So much so I don't even bother turning it on. Last night I thought I would unscrew that aerial from the roof and see if there is any corrosion. As I was...

    Rear window washer switch sprays on the front windscreen

    So.....as the title says, my window washer on the rear window doesn't seem to work. When I twist the switch on the stalk, it sprays water on the front windscreen. The front spray also works normally when pulling the stalk forward. Any ideas? o_O

    Newbie needs help with black smoke fuel smell

    Hi everyone, I need some advice. I haven't bought the car yet but am looking at it. I looked at Micra K11 (1.0L) today. Seems great except that When it was first started there was a strong smell of petrol for about 5 minutes. Also even once the car warmed up, when it was idling, there was black...
