Hi Dandan. I am walking in your footsteps all these years later. I loved your exchange of posts reading them now in Sept 2023. I, like above, have a Cert of Conformity back for my 1999 Micra that has the above combined total for HC & NOx of 235. I obviously would be very pleased if your ratio...

I noted that in DanDan's epic and excellent stream of messages in 2019/20 he mentioned the following logic based on the ratio of the combined HC&NOx Cert of Conformity . Oct 24, 2021 See it says 235 for THC+NOX together. For my model it's 64THC +28NOX = 92. If the ratio is the same, 235 =...

I like others here have had a trusty 1999 1.3 (1275cc) Micra Inspiration for the past 19 years. It only 90k on the clock and is still purring along. Thanks to the London Mayor's undemocratic Ulez expansion imposed for disingenuous and fake reasons. I am also being forced to scrap this plucky...

Hello MrFahrenheit, Thank you so much for your kindly intervention. Your intuition is right. I have been like a bear with a sore head with this for some time and it has made things difficult for me, although there are much much worse things in live of course. Would you be able to contact me on...

Thank you MattInARedMicra. I would take anything like 15k miles from a dizzy right now The current replica replacement that I bought a year ago has given me about 3k, (should that be the cause of the problem). Also thank you for the research info on the mulltipoint injector engine. I had a look...

Hello again Micra K11 people (MicraBriker, Fuzzy, MattIna, NissanBoy, Frank and all the others. Thank you again for your interest. I have a couple of other questions to ask. Now this may sound impossible so forgive my ignorance. John the man who is trying to helping me with this. I.e. The car...

Thanks Fuzzy-hair-man and Micra biker for your replies. Much appreciated. Yes Fuzzy it would be great if I could borrow a spare dizzy just to try rather than splash out £100 odd on a new one if I had the chance. It would be great if someone on here could help? In light of this - Micra Biker...

Thank you for your comments Micra BIker, the instructions and the video you attached. Most helpful. (As well as the like by Nissan Boy). The last time I did any semi serious tinkering under the bonnet was on a mk2 escort over 30 years ago! Things have changed a bit since then, even on my 20...

Thank you all for your comments, very much appreciated. Just to give you a bit more background on the history of the problem or problems. I know I am repeating some stuff but I thought I would lay it all out again. It might be good therapy for me! Therefore apologies for some repetition. It...

Thanks for your suggestion John. When it broke down again the other day with the same problem the AA man who came out said their reference material on K11's suggest that they can suffer from 'dry joints in the throttle body'. The thing is that the local garage has told me they will fit a...

Hello there. I have had trusty and loyal service from my 1999 1.3 Micra for many years now. About 3 months ago I noticed it occasionally cut out when coming to stop or idling. It work fine most of the time so I was not too concerned. The problem then became more noticable as I started to...
