Hi All I have a 1997 Micra, 1.0 manual (Alpine edition:)), I have been offered, what I think is, a 2000 ish automatic model (the side rubbing strips are off set, unlike mine which are straight) and its free for any parts I want. If the new one has the 1.3 engine are most of the parts...

Hi all I have a Nissan Micra 1997 (S), 1.0 manual, non ABS. Ive looked on ebay but they all say the CV joints are for ABS cars... can I use any CV joint or does it have to be for a non ABS car? If anyone has a link to a CV that would fit I would be really grateful. Also, while im here...

Sounds like classic throttle body to me, I had the same on a previous Micra, after changing throttle body with a second hand one it worked perfectly. I maybe wrong but I think coolant temp sensor can also cause similar problems but more likely throttle body.

Hi, Not on a micra but I had the same problem recently on a ford transit. I expected i would need a new ignition switch but took the cover off and unplugged all the leads and looms going to the ignition and sprayed them with contact cleaner. It fixed the issue and hasnt come back since. You may...

Thanks for reply's! Well I think ive sorted issue out, the battery did not have a battery clamp and was instead strapped down with wire, when I went down hill and dipped clutch to break and slow down the battery was moving forward and causing a short in the electrics. New clamp ordered and...

Quick update. The car done it again this morning, as I came to the bottom of the hill I dipped the clutch and all dash lights came on (engine still running). This time I did not turn off the car and continued to drive, it didnt feel like the drive train was engaged (almost like clutch not...

Hi Everyone! Micra been running great lately, (although there is a suspected head gasket fault, pressure test tomorrow, but it doesnt over heat or anything as long as I stay under 120Km) Anyway, this morning I took it out to walk the dog and on the way back came down a very steep hill, in 3rd...

Oh dear.... I think this is more than an airlock! Spent the day having a proper look at the car, decided to bleed the system and I have some small bubbles in radiator - especially with aircon on. No oil or water mixing but seems like a small exhaust gas leak :( Must admit the car is in such...

Thanks for that, never even crossed my mind that it could be a timing issue! Ill change the temp sender first, see what happens and then look at thermostat. After that ill investigate the timing and probably a compression test. Will keep post updated. Cheers J

This is as hot as it's got..

Cheers for replying! I'll source those bits and get them fitted. Thanks

Hi all... Its been along long time but im back with a micra! We moved to Spain recently and I found a low millage K11 with 1 owner, its got about 50,000 km on the clock and a good service history. It runs great! and is obviously rust free being in Spain. When I brought it the mechanic...

Where you getting toyos from at that price, Cheepest i found was £99 a corner, You done well if you did get them for under £40 a tyre! With regards to the royals, they are not true snow tyres they just help to stop you aqua planning due to the tred pattern, Great for rain but probably not...

Budget winter tyre review: After last year’s snow and the imminent arrival of a new family addition this year (jan 1st:-) I thought it would be wise to invest in some winter tyres. After searching for days i decided to take a risk and brought some Nang kang Sv-2 these cost me £170 for all...

Hi I’d be grateful if everyone who owns micra CVT could tell me what millage their cars are at and if they have had any problems. I have read allot on this and it seems that most gearbox's need work at around 50,000 miles. Is this what people are experiencing> My Micra is at 33k and...
