We used to have a K11 1.3 auto (the sadly departed Muji - RIP :(). All I can say is if you can get a good one & it's working fine, the CVT is an excellent gearbox. It responds quickly, there is no lag as it's not a torque convertor type, so it doesn't have to drop a gear as it doesn't really...

Cheers guys much appreciated ;) The thing that makes it difficult for us is it has to be an Auto (other half only has an auto licence) couple that with it's our only car & we'd want at least a 1.3 & the choice gets less. One thing I would ask is, on the later 1.4 K11 auto's is it the same CVT...

Hello all Just thought I'd post a goodbye. We scrapped Muji our little K11 1.3 Automatic today. The gearbox had gone & couldn't be fixed, plus he was getting very rusty along with other bits going wrong. We are both truly gutted :( he's been a wonderful little car in the 13 years he was with us...

Hello all I put the car in the garage (it's a Nissan main dealer, I've used them for years & they seem decent enough). I asked them to check the transmission brushes, fluid & also check a stain that's also appeared underneath the engine. They came back & said "removed & tested carbon brush Unit...

Cheers all. I've got the little fella booked in, so i'll let you know how he gets on. Fingers crossed :eek:

Cheers for that, it's appreciated :) How long roughly do the brushes last? It's done almost 60k & they've never been changed. If it is the brushes is it a big job :eek:? Many thanks

Hello all I could do with some opinions/ expert knowledge. Today our beloved 1998 1.3 CVT automatic with just under 60,000 miles on it did something odd. We'd driven about 10 miles with no problems & parked up, were away for around an hour & when we came to reverse out of the parking space the...

2k is far too much IMO for one that's not totally mint & fully original (even then it's a bit much). The owner will be letting the low mileage & old-ish car hype go to their head :D I used to see that a lot many years ago when I wanted a Ford Anglia, the low mileage junk at stupid prices was...

I definitely think the earliest ones are disappearing. You still see a lot but I find they tend to be from the later years of production. They are lovely little cars, we still have ours after 14 years because we love the damn thing not because we can't afford something younger. I look at other...

Well done on getting a K11 & an auto ;) I can't offer any suggestions as to replacing the lever but as a fellow auto owner I quite agree it really is horrid looking. Quite why it had to be 2 feet tall is also beyond me ! One of the few annoyances though on a great little car - trust me you'll...

That's a beauty :) Good looking little cars aren't they, I think in the looks department they're wearing rather well ;)

Exactly. A Corsa isn't a bad car but it's nowhere near as good as a K11. I've driven both & the K11 is streets ahead - driven "enthusiastically" probably literally !:D;)

I love our auto but I've always hated the selector lever it's just stupidly tall. It's not too bad from the drivers seat but the passenger really finds it a pain it's really easy to knock accidentally. If it had been made 3 inches shorter it would've been loads better & looked cooler ;)

I try, but the little bugger just likes "showing up" all those modern heavy weight motors ;):D

I get about that out of ours. I tend to find the weight of my right foot makes a big difference ;)

Cool pics ;) There used to be a little yellow K11 round here that had those factory black clip on wheel arch covers.

Try that well known internet auction site ;) there's always loads on there.

I think that's a very fair comment ;)

K11 is a much better car. The K12 is a Renault Clio dressed up to look like startled frog :D. I don't know anybody who's had one & not had trouble of some sort with it. I also think style wise they've aged much worse than the K11. A K12 looks dated & clumsy, the K11 looks timeless ;)

Happy new year ! :)
