Frank, Many thanks for this. I see the correct one has 23 outer and 22 inner spline for the 1.3L Would a bad CV joint cause the problem I am having with my Micra. The car was diagnosed with the 'cv boot splitting up' a couple of years ago by Nissan Main Dealer. When I took the car to a...

Thanks mckenziecz. What car do I have? I thought I explained it in my post but for clarity; I have a 1998 Nissan Micra Ally K11c which is the Facelift. It is a 1.3L engine with 16v. First registered in December 1998. These CV joints on eBay are not genuine Nissan parts, and seem to be...

I have a 1998 K11c 1.3L 16v (Non ABS). I need a new CV joint on one of the sides. Seen this on eBay, guy seems to have sold loads, but its listed as 1.0L. Will this be OK for me? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150560868907 Also how do I physically check which CV...

thanks for the reply guys, much appreciated. I just came across another related thread on here, seems its easier than I thought? Just 6 bolts and easy removal. http://www.micra.org.uk/threads/44319-a-rough-guide-on-how-to-replace-a-offside-passenger-wing-1999-k11 Not sure if I still...

Seen one for sale cheap on in my colour - Starburst Silver KLO and i've got a nice little bump on my wing that will probably cost more than the £40.00 for this part but only if I can do it myself. Also is there any difference in size between a 3dr and 5dr version of the car. Mine is a 5dr...

Will930, that is fantastic. I have sent you a PM.

...or someone from the forum who is handy with a spanner. Happy to cover costs / beer tokens. Micra K11c 1998 - needs i) gearbox oil changed ii) front discs changed iii) O/S CV joint changed iv) maybe a full service. I can supply all parts so its just labour. Located in NW london.

1. How do I check & top the gearbox oil on my Micra K11c. Its a 1998 Micra 1.3L Manual, and what tools would I need? 2. What Gearbox oil should I use?

Hello, I'm hoping for some advise on my Micra K11. Owned it from new (Dec '98). It has a full service history but missed the last one, last service was in Dec '09 (full service excl. fluids) Looking to sell the car now, had a guy come round to look at it today. He mentioned i) the...

Thanks for the replies. Maybe the oil needs just needs to be changed. One of the guys in the office says he can do it for me. What specific oil do I need for the gearbox. I read I need around 3 litres. Also I want to do change all the fluids as these were not done on the last service...

I checked the oil frank, the levels are fine. Anything else you can suggest would be much appreciated?

No comments?

Still looking for a solution on this. My Micra K11 1.3i had an awful grinding sound. This only happens IN GEAR, not when changing gear. It is now happening in all gears. Car feels very smooth in all gears, until you rev it up a bit (obviously there is no rev counter on our cars but i'd...

Frank, You seem pretty clued up on Micra's. If I take it in to a garage, would they be able to diagnose the fault, or would they need to strip the gearbox / transmission to identify any issues?

Thanks for the advice. I cant see why the battery would go so soon, its fairly new. Also once jump started, it had absolutely no problems running for 1/2 hour - so would this not indicate something is draining the battery when parked up? Why didn't the battery die while I was driving for...
