    power steering

    Update. Battery disconnected for 24 hours. Replacement battery in key (although tested ok) Tried this morning. Worked ok, no warning lights, just like last time. I'm not posting this as a sure fire cure, but may be worth trying if you have the same problem.

    power steering

    Back to the saga of my daughters 05 Micra. The powersteering on my daughters 05 Mica failed again after the fitting of (2nd) recon unit. The local garage sent it back to the suppliers in Tamworth, who"repaired" & returned it. The garage refitted it (after five weeks) & my daughter drove it...

    Hi. The power steering on my daughters '05 reg. K12 has failed again! The unit was replced with a rebuilt unit last year but with the NATS lamp on. I wondered if you could give me any suggestions? If not would you be prepared to look at it for me. I live in Burntwood, nr. Lichfield, so close to...

    EPS DONGLE

    Hi. I checked the EBD fault readout with my ( cheap) reader. There was nothing shown. Ireset it just in case!. The fault was still r there. I then disconnected the battery for approx. 24 hours, & replaced the battery in the key, as I believe that the key "talks" to the nats system, although the...

    EPS Power steering column, what ACTUALLY goes wrong?

    Hi huttojb. Absolutely. Your advice appears sound, & I for one could not care less whether or not you make money if you work on someones car. I stand by my previous post (micapowers) that anyone who knowingly uses a car with a faulty steering system (or brakes, shockers, or any other potentially...

    EPS DONGLE

    Thanks for your advice. The car is my daughters. I have now replaced the battery in the key, & disconnected the battery for 24 hours. This seems to have cured the fault.,ie the nats light stays off. Whether this is permanent time will tell. Please see my reply to your other post

    EPS DONGLE

    After reading some of the threads I belive that there is a dongle that can blow on the eps giving the symptoms in my last post (nats light showing after a few minuits) Is this dongle a seperate item that can be replaced or is it integral with the eps? If it is replacable what is the part no? Thanks

    EPS Power steering column, what ACTUALLY goes wrong?

    Just because some no-it-all posts an insulting comment, please do not stop giving proven advise on this forum. As an aside, micrapowers, just because you can drive with a faulty eps, what else is going to go wrong, possibly with fatal consequences. Imho you are an idiot who should not be...

    NATS Light

    Hi all. My 05 reg. Micra K12 1.2 has had a reconditioned power steering rack fitted (twice!) since when the NATS warning light comes on steady after about five minutes. It flashes on switch on, then goes out. The OBD shows no fault codes. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
