Hoping someone can help. My reverse light has suddenly decided to give up, checked the bulb which is fine so I'm guessing it's the reverse light switch. It's a 1994 1.0 16v but all the car spares shops are showing me something that I can't find on my gearbox, I can see what looks like a black...

It was more a way of saving a car along with getting my son involved who is autistic so very difficult to get him into things but we decided to deshell a 1.1 saxo with blown head gasket ,,(estimate cost to fix was £400). Instead we went out and got a 1.6 vts saxo with a dying shell and decided...

I recently done the solder job on my 1994 K11, I since found out that it only works on cars with a coil pack, mine has distributor so check that if yours is coil pack first. It is an easy job to do as well, I found a guide here https://www.micra.org.uk/threads/throttle-body-re-soldering.42015/...

Window down, doorcard off and smash inside the door, makes the sound and mess ;) .... One of the jobs on my list of the glue stuff I've got don't sort it, should of gone for tiger seal seeing as both my front and rear windows are loosing there seals but I've worked out they're both bonded in so...

Mine passed after some welding on the sills anyway but still finding the decent garages in our area, knew all the decent ones in my hometown but after moving, it's difficult to find one that don't plan to rip you off

Sometimes garages might query a change in milage if it's a massive amount, I only found that out due to a car I built, I change the dash to match the safety features and electrics (literally reshelled a car which was on 150k, the new engine etc had only cover 90k so was a huge difference in...

It's more thanks to everyone that helped me get to the right areas for testing and replacing. Would of never have thought injectors seeing as it was intermittent at one stage. Hopefully I can enjoy driving it again now though, still some silly little jobs that need doing but nothing that...

I completely forgot to update yesterday. I went down the local scrap yard and found the only Micra in there that matched mine, all the others had the newer engine with completely different injectors etc. Opened the bonnet and luckily there were 2 injectors left, put the test meter on them and...

Thank you for that. Also thanks for the luck for my partner....the car is keeping my mind off it all a little bit for now haha. Anyway, couple of quick questions as I haven't looked at them myself yet, are the injectors easy to remove? The last time I messed with injectors was on a saxo vts...

Looks like a hunt for the compression tester soon then. Plug looked like it was getting fuel but I'll still do tests on the injectors as well in between the rain. One good sign is oil and water levels haven't dropped and oil cap hasn't got any tale tell signs of head gasket problems but won't...

Just pulled each individual lead...looks like cylinder 4 is breaking down. Each cylinder made a noticeable difference as I pulled the leads but cylinder 4 seems to be intermittent, first pulled sounded neatly the same as the other 3 cylinders so left it warming up pulled again and made no...

Will be checking sparks again tomorrow, they were the first thing I checked before changing anything and they were firing nicely, it had new cap, rotor, plugs and leads a little over a month ago but I know a weak spark can cause problems. Was going to check this evening but a sudden change of...

I unplugged the sensor.....the car hated it! Couldn't even drive off my street, the car had no power whatsoever, put the foot to the floor and basically unresponsive, the car just wanted to crawl along. Soon as I stopped and plugged the sensor back in, it was drivable but sounding like a Subaru...

Still yet to try the car without the maf plugged in, kinda got a bit rushed the other day so forgot to unplug it but it also has its rumble back after the round trip. My partner has a hospital appointment today which is about a 10 mins drive so the sensor will be getting unplugged well before...

Ah....fingers crossed it helps! I think the stalling is fixed, the cars only had a few short runs since I worked on it so tomorrow is it's first real run, mainly motorway so no slowing down enough to panic til I get back on slower roads but if I can get rid of the lumpy sound I'd be happy, it...
