Hi everyone, Long time since I've been on here, used to have K11s but now looking at a K13 DIG-S. The car we have looked at (and probably are going to buy) is a 2012 K13 which doesn't seem to have a cigarette lighter or apparent USB socket. I was wondering if anyone would know where the USB...

Mine is the driveshaft inner joint, realised noise is less with a passenger (the angle is different) so I'll be replacing that soon, should cure the noise i hope, maybe i'll get less vibration too... Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll let you know if it works Lee

Hi guys, Still no closer to finding it, nothing wrong with engine mountings or suspension that I can find. The inner CV joints have a little bit of movement so I'm starting to think its those, might try replacing them when I can and see if it works... I'll let you know if I find anything...

Hi The noise happens when you're accelerating hard or let out the clutch too quickly after changing gear, it will knock loudly at first and then get quieter as you go on. I can't make it happen out of gear at all. Pretty sure its not the CV joints though, none of them have any play in them...

Hi Guys, I've got a knocking noise on my 1998 K11 I'm having a bit of trouble finding. It only happens when I'm accelerating, usually when cold but it's less when the car is warmed through. I think it might be the rear engine/gearbox mount as it sounds like a loud knock that can be felt...

Hi guys, just got an adaptor for the aerial and plugged it in and it works fine now, no drain on the battery! Thanks for your advice Lee

Thanks, didn't have the original aerial plugged in that might be why it was shorting. I'll get an adaptor and try it again.

Hi Guys, Finally had the time to replace the stereo on my 1998 Micra with a new DAB one. Had it fitted in my old fiat and worked perfectly. When i put it in the Micra, it caused a drain on the battery and i could barely start the car. I think it's the earth thats the problem, as when i took...

Thanks for that, I'll try to use the original mountings, that should earth the thing. I've unblocked the jets once, but I'll try cleaning out the system if it goes again. Cheers again

Hi Guys Just got a couple of questions: first the washer jets keep blocking on my 98 micra, I've seen a thread saying you could swap them for ones off either a sunny or primera, just wondering if anyone knows if you can do this and which one it is. Also I've been trying to fit a new radio...

Thanks guys, I'm gonna try to have a go this weekend, I'll let you know how it goes :)

Do you loosen the hinge bolts first, try to shut the door with it in there and then re-tighten? Or an I way off? Thanks

Hi Guys, like the forum, hoping someone can give me some advice... My Micras driver side door is sagging and catching the sill, Does anyone know how to sort this out short of changing the hinges? Thanks
