    Goodbye

    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...

    Input needed

    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...

    New scrappage scheme

    I've seen in a few of the classic car mags that another scrappage scheme is rumoured. I hope that won't mean that loads of our little K11's get unnecessarily scrapped in order to buy cheap modern junk :(

    Headlamp help

    Hello all I noticed today that the nearside headlight on my K11 CVT is working ok on dip beam but not on main beam or if the lights are flashed (the off side headlight appear to be working ok).:confused: Is this likely to just be the headlight bulb? If it is the bulb how difficult are they to...

    CVT question

    Hello Does anyone know if moving the automatic transmission lever into Neural & then back into Drive again whilst the car is moving would knacker the gearbox? I don't plan to do it but it would be quite easy to accidentally knock the lever (particularly from the passenger seat) as for some...

    Holiday Micra's

    Hello all I just got back from a week in Menorca (a very nice place). The thing that struck me was how many Micra K11's are still being used. Some days I was seeing at least 15-20 without really looking for them. Admittedly most look a bit rough, but it might be a good source of parts, if anyone...

    Early & late Automatic's

    Hello At some point in the future we may have to get a 2nd car. Naturally I don't want to get some modern piece of junk I want another K11 ;). For various reasons we have to have an automatic a manual car isn't an option. In the light of this & knowing that the later k11 auto's have a...

    Sill drain holes

    Hello I've just been peering under my trusty K11. Can anyone tell me what the 3 circular rubber bungs are under the sills either side? are these water drainage points? If these aren't the sill water drainage points, can anyone tell me where those are? Many thanks Dave

    Security

    Hello Has anyone got any thoughts on the best anti-theft measure for a Micra? I have an Autolok 2000 steering lock (bought it about 12 years ago) & wondered if by now there was anything better or more highly recommended? I would like something that's a visible deterrent (like a steering lock)...

    Holiday destination

    Hello all As the sun is shining (for now) it made me think of holidays so I just thought I'd share a good place if you like Micra's. At the back end of last year the girlfriend & I went to Menorca & it was absolutely teeming with K11's, they were even still in use as hire-cars in some places ...

    Micra's

    Hello Has anyone else noticed how many K11's there are still about? I was ambling back from Aldi yesterday (I have a rock & roll lifestyle !) And couldn't help Micra spotting as usual & noting there are still loads about. As it's 11 years since there were last built & 20+ years since their...

    Roof/gutter trims

    Hello I've not posted for many moons on here but I'm still a Micra fan ! Anyway, can someone help advise how to remove the black trims on top of the roof on a K11 facelift that perform a similar function to gutters did on older cars? My roof has started to go rusty just under/near the front of...

    1.3 vs 1.4 K11

    Hello all. Apart from the obvious difference in engine size, is there really that much difference performance-wise etc between the 1.3 & 1.4 engine in the K11's? The CVT Auto's gearbox on the later K11's also appears to have some sort of Sport button on it (my 1.3 CVT doesn't have that)...

    K11 back seat

    Evening all I've just been looking through an old copy of Autocar at an early K11 road test in 1992. The feature that struck me (apart from how staggeringly well it did in the test) was that the back seat appears to fold differently to ours (ours is a 1998 Equation). The backseat base (the...

    Topping up antifreeze

    Hello Looking for some advice? My 1998 1.3 K11 currently has the green Nissan antifreeze in it. If I ever want to top up the level in the expansion bottle am I ok to use the Prestone 50/50 ready mixed stuff that's readily available & will it mix ok with the Nissan mixture already in the...
