Consider the car has a CO2 141g/km 45mpg real seems about right. the manufacturer figure is 48.7mpg combined. not bad for a 2003 car. http://www.buyyourcar.co.uk/car-data/nissan/micra/2003-2010/hatchback/10-e-3dr/id/22269

I own a 2nd hand 53 plate 1.0E currently at 20K mileage. The model should be a high risk model according to various forum and the bad feedbacks, actually, make me keep thinking of trading-in the car for other brands.

Try to call other dealers to price check. As far as I recall that shouldn't take as much as 180... unless the hyperinflation came earlier.

Very good work! Actually the radio change section is very helpful as it is really hard for newbie to unlock the dashboard (without courage)

Thank you mate. It was actually a simple job with the help of WD40 as the old antenna screw stuck after years

Do you mean unscrew the antenna or the antenna base? Thank you.

Hi all, I made a mistake this morning by going into those auto car wash without realise it would break the antenna (attached...). Another idea how I could fix it? Thank you.

haha... mine nickname is "tortoise". anyway, my car is a 53 plates 1.0E and I have no idea how the previous owner drove the car. I have had the car for about a year and half and it was not that bumpy before. I am sure the tire pressure is alright. To be honest I just like to see if any people...

Not sure if it is a problem to the poorly maintained British road... I found my K12 1.0E is very bumpy and would like to have it improved. Could anyone give me suggestions on what I could do, and how I could check out if it is actually a problem of my car? I know nothing about car...

thanks mate! would you mind tell me how long did the job take? the fitting costs 20quids which I think is fair (but not cheap)

Hi all, I am fancy to buy my Micra 1.0E a new radio set but I know it is not an easy task... I wonder if anyone tried the Halford "We Fit" services? Did they manage to do the job? Cheers Howard

Recently my gearbox is getting harder and harder to switch to Gear 1 (stiff) or Reverse Gear (not always success). Could anyone advise what might be the problem and should I bring the car back to the dealer to do a full check on the gear box? Last time my dealer told me that that would be around...

I bought my K12 (53 plate, 1.0E) 6 months ago and I had no idea how well the car was maintained before. I am thinking to bring the car to do an intensive services at dealer (WLMG). I wonder if any of you have tried their "Gold Services Plan"? Does it worth the money? Website...
