Is there a way I can adjust the idle speed of a K11 (2000/coilpack) Micra? It just needs a tiny bit more on tickover. Thanks

I want to replace the fuel pump in my Micra so I've opened up the fuel tank cover under the rear seats, disconnected the connectors and pipes from the top, opened the collar and have access to the fuel tank. I've also removed the connectors from the underside of the top. I can see the...

OK, I've checked the existing setup on my car and the horn is connected by a single wire (with plug) on to just one spade terminal. The vast majority of horns for sale seem to have two spade terminals. Would I have to somehow split my single wire to to attach it to a double-terminal horn or...

Replacement horns And you're just able to disconnect the existing horn from its wiring and plug them on to the PIAA/Escort/ANOther horn? Could this cause any potential electrical issues?

I'm in the final stages of prepping our K11 Micra for this years Mongol Rally and noticed that the horn is completely pathetic. I know it sounds strange but there may be times when we need something more than a tiny 'beep' to scare various stray creatures (camels, horses etc) of roads and...

Most of the K11 fuel pumps for sale on ebay seem to come included with the plastic fuel collector and all the associated pipes, wires etc. Should I be able to just buy the actual pump that sits in the collector? I believe it just clips into the fuel collector.

Hi How can I tell exactly what version my Micra is? It's a manual K11 1.0 litre Micra S. It's first registration date is January 2001 but it was, I believe, manufactured in 2000. The engine model CG10DE and it has the coil packs. Is this the 60bhp version and anyone any idea what month...

Hi Anyone got a fuel pump (in tank) for a 2000/01 K11 1.0 litre Micra that they want to offload? Thanks Matthew

Hi There's an odd hissing sound coming from under the rear seats of my Micra. It almost sounds like radio static but I'm guessing it's coming from the fuel pump. The car is running ok and doesn't seem to be misfiring and the fuel tank is over half full. Any ideas what's causing this...

After checking out all the fuses, wiring etc we removed the ECU which smelled (and still does) really well cooked. Opening it up there was a lovely scorch mark on the circuit board where it had been spiked... I had to sit down when the dealer told me it would be €1300 for a new one. Luckily I...

I was taking my k11 2001 1.0l Micra home to France today. First the fuel guage, speedo and temp guage failed. Shortly after the airbag light came on and finally the battery light lit up and it stopped. Of course, it was in the middle of a great thunder and lightning storm but I got a tow off...

Has anyone got a spare standard 14" steel wheel for a K11 Micra (2000/01 model) that I could buy? Thanks

Hi I'm preparing to take a 3 door K11 Micra (2001 model) on this years Mongol Rally and have been rooting through my tools to see what I've got already in the way of spanners and sockets. So far I have the following dual open/closed spanners: 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 15mm & 17mm and...

Hi Can anyone recommend some good independent Nissan service specialists in the Berks, Bucks or even Canterbury regions? Thanks Matthew

Thanks PollyP This is for an attempt at the Mongol Rally so I would say it's as far from normal driving as you can get. ;-) We'll be going over some very rough loose surfaces and I was considering using the Yokohama A035 tyres but the only 14" version they make are 175/65. The choice of...
