    infernal micra

    This is one of those times when you write stuff for no real reason other than feeling very alone. I'm at my wits end with the micra. I've had it for about 2 months and it's been a constant source of annoyance with new issues arising every week. 2days ago it started overheating on hills, took...

    K11 parcel shelf pin/peg & vandalised roof aerial

    I'd do what Jen has done and just swap to a bee sting one. Original K11 aerial extended makes it look like a teletubby imo XD

    Overrheating

    Normally it gets up to half way then goes down a bit again and stays in that region, never went higher before. Hopefully its a simple fix. Thanks for advice Rob :)

    Overrheating

    Changed the coolant a while ago c.300kms no probs what so ever so don't think its down to that. The Micra doesn't have bleed nipple right? Only expantion tank and rad top.

    Overrheating

    Top hose got HOT no probs and heater works fine. I've found that with the heater full on temp doesn't go as high. Which other hoses do I need to check? Sry bit of a noob

    Overrheating

    Just changed belt. The top tentioner makes a bit of a sound but could this be the cause?

    Overrheating

    And so the Micra decides to misbehave . .. AGAIN. Drove about 10km, didn't get stuck in trafic anywhere... Temp got up to 3/4 of the gauge, luckily it happened just as I arrived where I wanted to go. Fan was blowing like mad and water level in the expansion tank was much higher than max...

    Revs

    Just increased the idle of my micra and now she feels a tiny bit less rev happy at around the 3000rpm and over mark. Could this be related? Also changed fuel pump recently.

    Plastic wheel trims - Would these fit?

    IF you are on a tight budget you could buy the wheel trims, then add a couple of cable ties for security. Would look something like this:

    Micra in Malta

    Was supposed to write part of my thesis this morning, but got bored so decided to give the Micra good valet instead. Results turned out just as satisfying :D

    Plastic wheel trims - Would these fit?

    You could go with them but to be honest universal clip on wheel trims are a bit of a gamble. They CAN look good, but most of the time they end up looking cheap, break easily and can fly off at speed (happened to me)

    micra madness
