I shall start there and report back. :)

Hello all! Say hello to Squeak. I bought her yesterday for €300 as a runaround for a few months. I know nothing of her history. I previously owned a 2001 K11 that will soon be going to the great car park in the sky. Learned how to fix a lot of things on her thanks to this forum and am hoping to...

The radio doesn't go off, it stays on but the car won't start, would need a jump. I checked battery with alternator when on and off and it was reading normal levels.

I've never checked it after draining it, it's always died while I've been out.

So if I leave my key on with the engine off to listen to the radio, they car won't start after about six minutes and will need a jump. Leave the headlights on and it will die after about 60 seconds. I've tested the battery and the alternator and they are fine, putting on normal voltage. Anyone...

So I've been replacing blown bulbs behind the panels and switches and this is the last one. The bulb which illuminates the back window defog switch is gone (not the on/off light). I can't for the life of me figure out how the switches come out. I can take off the centre panel, unscrew the...

Another photo of heater here.

Got the damn thing out finally! Still can't figure out how to access the bulbs on either the back window defog button or behind the heater dials. Do I need to completely disconnect the heater?

Hello all, So I tried to take out the centre panel around the radio and heater to replace two bulbs that are gone but no luck. I removed all screws, bottom and footwell panels and ashtray. The bottom of the panel was loose but the top was tight. I checked the Haynes manual and it says to...

I got both my cv joints replaced by a mechanic there lately, €270.

So when I took it out I thought the blob of solder just needed to be redone. I scraped it back and tested all the circuits. Turns out the fault was lower down where the metal wires had started to burn and corrode. Tried soldering a wire onto the gap which fixed one of them, but then parts of the...

Found it!

So if I just remove the glove box I should be able to access it?

So my K11 2001 Micra heater only works on the last setting. A google search reveals this is a blown resistor card. I've read a few threads but I still cannot find where it is. I tried taking out the glove box today but couldn't see anything. Does the whole dash need to come out? Please bear in...
