    Failed MOT :(

    Well I knew my very reliable Micra was due to slip-up somewhere. It had it's MOT today at a dealer, after I bought a £25 "MOT & Valet" from Groupon. They just phoned to say it failed it several areas :(, all relating to rust underneath on the floorpan and sills, and that in their opinion the...

    Trouble fitting new backbox!

    Well nothing ever goes to plan with cars does it?! I needed a near rear silencer section, as I did have an MOT booked for today and my one had a large crack in it. I phoned Nissan at the weekend, and they've stopped selling them. The local garage wanted £71 fitted, but EuroCarParts do them...

    Exhaust corroded & fallen down - which part to replace?

    Hello! On Friday whilst driving home, my exhaust fell down so it's resting on what looks like a rollbar. It looks like the bracket at the engine end of the cat has rusted through. Can you get this part on it's own, or is it part of the cat or perhaps the front pipe? Photo 1: Rubber...

    Changing a K11 brake caliper

    I strongly suspect that I have a sticking OSF brake caliper. I first noticed something wrong last week, when I noticed a kind of burning rubber smell after a long run. The front tyres needed replacing, as well as the tracking, so had them done Saturday however am still getting the smell. I...

    Uprated horns

    I've been looking at replacement horns on ebay for my K11, as I feel the standard ones are a little on the weak side. There are a few different ones listed, most are listed as 'snail style' upgrades. Has anyone fitted these, or another type to improve the sound?

    Fitting a boot release catch

    My K11 already has a petrol cap release lever to the right of the drivers seat. I've found a K11 breaking that has both the petrol cap and boot release lever. How much work is involved in getting the parts out of the breaking K11 and fitting to mine?

    Failed MOT!

    I am extremely happy. My Micra failed the first MOT I've put it through since buying it in October. Although I'd checked it over, I wasn't sure if the tester would find something to fail it on, such the rusty front crossmember. I explained to him beforehand that it shouldn't be a failure as...

    K11 crossmember - garages in Kent with experience?

    I have my MOT due this Thursday, and am a little worried my K11 might fail on the crossmember. I know it's not strictly a failure as 30cm from any load bearing points, however the bottom end of the bonnet catch bracket has rusted away from the crossmember so although the bonnet shuts, it moves...

    Did K11's come with a locking petrol cap?

    My K11 Inspiration has a flimsy plastic fuel cap. It doesn't even screw in tight, you just push it and give it a little turn. The reason I ask is that it doesn't seem very secure. Looking on eBay the only locking caps are for K10's. Anyone managed to source a locking cap?

    How does the jack fit in boot?

    When I bought my K11, the spare wheel wasn't sitting level in the boot as it's resting on the jack and tool bag. How do they all fit together neatly in the boot so the carpet lays down flat? Oh, and if anyone has a decent boot carpet please let me know. On eBay they are over 20 quid!

    Gear change down is sooooo stiff

    Changing up through the gears on my K11 1.3 is smooth and easy :grinning: However, changing down from 4th to 3rd, and 3rd to 2nd is incredibly hard. Sometimes it just won't go unless I lift the clutch in neutral, blip the throttle and try again. Is this common with Micra's (I'm on my...

    Help with a few issues with my new K11 Inspiration

    After looking for a couple of months for a decent or cheap K11 1.3 or 1.4, I finally found a private seller. It has done 72k and was up for £1200, but I knocked him down to £1000 due to the following issues I found, which I'm hoping some kind folks can give me some pointers on? 1. The front...

    Looked after K11 1.4 SE or similar spec

    I've been looking for a month or so now for a well maintained K11, but have not had much luck so far. Most of the ones within 60 miles of where I live are being sold by traders (the 6 traders I phoned all spoke English as a 2nd language, as were the 3 private sellers). Most either had no or only...
