I have a K10 Micra which is not equipped with intermittent wipe, it just has three settings, OFF, LO and HI. The switch is broken, and the only replacements I can find on eBay are the ones with 4 settings: OFF, INT, LO and HI. Will this switch do? MOT on Saturday so need to get this sorted :(...

Yep that's exactly what happened to mine. That did occur to me, but I don't think it would have got me back to Liverpool... I certainly wouldn't have enjoyed the drive anyway haha! Been considering an upgrade to electronic ignition but not sure I'll be doing the miles to warrant the work...

Well, I picked Bluie up last Saturday and was impressed to find the car just as described, one of the best K10 Micras I have ever seen. Unfortunately Bluie's contact breaker points failed on the M4 about 15 miles into the trip back to Liverpool! The AA were called but for obvious reasons, did...

PM sent!

Yeah, must say I'm shocked myself. But its still doing 35mpg around town / 40mpg on 60mph dual carriage way / motorway driving and sounds and pulls happy as anything so touch wood, I'm safe! I will check the oil in a couple of days to check if its burning any but the exhaust isn't smoking so...

Oil pump and pickup from a 50,000 mile GA14 and she's running like a dream. Thanks for all your help!!

That would be beautiful, just missing time and money :P I do miss my little go-kart Micra, but playing in a band, I need the Almera's cavernous mini-estate boot :( My mechanic friend seems to have had a break through and is heading to a scrappy this afternoon to pick me up a new oil-pump and...

Well, I've given my mechanic mate till the end of the day to come up with a plan for resurrecting it... as I can't be without a car much longer... If he doesn't succeed, looks like I've got an Almera with 4 practically new tyres, a brand new clutch, almost new exhaust, 96,000 trouble-free...

So, looks like a knackered oil pump AND pick up, but its looking almost impossible to find a second hand oil pump, as all the breaker's yards I've called (must be 30+ now) are very reluctant to break the GA engines as they're all such good runners and are mostly coming out of rusty or crashed...

Well, its in a different garage now, a much trusted one, the one I would have took it to if I'd had the chance when the problem with the sump nut originally happened. They're going to drop the pan and check it out either today or tomorrow. Fingers crossed that there's not been too much damage to...

Right, so I suppose the best thing to do is to take it back to them and ask them to drop the sump again... If the pick up pipe has been damaged, is that an easy swap out job? Thanks for your help!

Well, now the oil light doesn't go out with any amount of revving and the top end sounds horrible, so its stuck around 10 miles from home now until I can get it recovered tomorrow and I'm now not sure what to do! Worn bearings or a bad oil pump on a 96,000 mile engine with full service...

I have a 1995 Nissan Almera N15. Its got a GA14DE and its done 96,000 miles. I just had a new sump fitted (due to an overtightened sump nut by previous owner) plus oil changed and a new filter. When I start up, my engine is noisy/rattling and the oil pressure light is on. However, when I give...

Having been away from Micra ownership for almost a year now (had a 1993 Sunny and a 1995 Civic) I'm just about to purchase my first K10 (had two K11s already) Its a 1.0L 1992 model and it has covered 115k, and it got me thinking, what's the highest mileage anyone on here is aware of in a...

I have just acquired a 1996 Micra 1.3 SLX, (to replace my deceased 1994 Micra 1.3 LX) I was told on purchasing that the radio doesn't work (it was a Clarion head unit) it liked chewing tapes, and on the left side, sound would only emit from the A pillar tweeter. I've replaced this now with a...

Lately I have been having great difficulty starting my Micra from cold, though it doesn't seem to be a problem with the engine. What seems to be the problem is when I release the key from the "START" position to the "ON" position, the car just stalls regardless of how much I put my foot on...

Hey, this is my first post here on Micra Sports Club, i'm the proud owner of an M reg 1.3L K11, my first car! Its been running great and I'm a bit of a novice but want to educate myself and be able to service my own car, for my own enjoyment and hopefully to save a bit of cash. Just recently...
