Hi all, Our K12 2003 Micra has developed a strange problem. The boot lid randomly locks and unlocks (mainly while driving). Sometimes it is not possible to lock/unlock the boot lid at all. In addition, there is a strange "whirl" noise from the near side rear passenger door. The problem...

Update: My local Nissan dealer has VERBALLY told me that the Solar Panel was definately the cause of the damage. Apparently if a power source is connected to the cigarette lighter, it feedbacks through the control units (they checked with the technical department at Nissan HQ). Maplin has...

Nissan diagnosed a faulty EPS (apparently a dongle in the power steering unit). The whole steering unit was replaced at a total cost of £708!

We have just had our first baby and my wife is not using her Micra at all. I thought I was being clever by buying a Maplin solar panel which plugs into to the cigarette lighter to trickle charge the battery to avoid any flat battery. The panel had been plugged in for a week and I found the...

Well, the dealer seemed quite certain (like Fordy). Apparently he said he had seeN the same problem iN other Micras and the only solution was a new cluster. I also found this link: www.bba-reman.com/content.aspx?content=Nissan_Micra_K12 which seems to suggest it is a common...

Hello all! My left turn indicator (on interior's instrument cluster) has stopped working. You can still hear the clicking and all the exterior indicator light bulbs are working. I spoke to my local Nissan dealer who said it sounded like it would need a whole new instrument cluster at a...
