Mine had a rattle, and took it for an MOT test and service today. You know what it was? The bonnet grommits weren't screwed in firmly enough so the bonnet was shaking with the engine. He screwed them up, and no more vibrating and metallic rattling.

Yeah, shakes. The entire car doesn't, but parts do. The gear lever and wheel especially. EDIT: Got a call, and it passed its MOT flawlessly. The vibrating was actually the bonnet on the gromits not sitting right apparently, so I will test that when I see it. Other than that, he's going to...

Overheating on hills? You sure the radiator is working correctly? Enough coolant? New coolant?

I just took my car to be MOT'd and serviced. I created a thread previously on the damage, and if it would pass or not. Today I got some masking tape and covered up that area so it shouldn't fail on that now. I have noticed recently though that the car when idle will be fine, and then a few...

Got an image of what it looks like? :D

Looks like you may have broken some clips at the back that holds the main mirror part in place, or its simply not clipped in on one side. It's actually two parts. A black surround and then the mirror itself that clips in. It looks like you have a problem with the black surround. Your best bet...

I managed only a day ago to fit the front windscreen wipers myself in the dark!!! First time. I was rather pleased. I also received from Ebay the front left passenger side mirror (smashed by goons), and the back windscreen wiper arm that got ripped off by baboons at a safari park. Managed to fit...

Hehe thanks Jay101 for the help :) I'll get on it. I really like my Micra, but I wish it had the older K11 grill as aposed to the newer "we love chrome" grill :p

I thought I may fail on structual failings due to the inside being jutted in. But I didn't think It'd fail on that!!! Would duct tape really stop it failing?

Cheers you two for the replies. I turned on the fog lights, and indeed, the one on the right that I thought was a reverse lit up :p You think I'll fail my MOT for some body damage I have? Basically, my mum (I won't let her drive it again) reversed into a tow bar of a van, and she thought she...

Hey, I have my MOT coming up this Thursday, and I've been told my driver side (right hand drive) reverse light isn't working. Now, the left one does work, and looking at the back of the car, there does indeed seem to be 2 clear/white sections at the bottom for what could be considered as...

Cheers Adam, but I have a bumper. It's just wheather it can be unscratched to then be repainted, etc. Probabably just worth getting a new one. Just brought it back from another place, and he is going to e-mail me expected prices later. Almost didn't have a car to take back though, and I doubt...

Yeah, I was told to just get a cheap part for it and hammer it myself, but part of me wants to make it like new again, but is that part of me wrong? I was told to just get a cheap part, fix it on, use a hammer and then run it into the ground as it isn't worth anyone elses money once its...

I agree. The mileage is very low on it, which is why I'm more saddened by it. How much should that cost to fix you reckon? Is £550 a price you would consider paying to get that fixed? Would it fail an MOT? (I'm guessing that would be a yes seeing as its affecting the spare tire) We'll see...

Its a sad day today, and I don't know what to do. A few months ago, my mum reversed my car into a caravan tow thingy on next doors 4x4. Its because she wouldn't wait 5 minutes for me to park it myself, so she tried it, even though she has only driven an automatic recently. She crunched the...

Wow Peposhi, that was certainly a long journey :o

Wow, well I guess the longest drive is dependent on yourself really :P The longest drive I have done to date is that, 284.3 miles, equating to around 142.15 miles each way, which for me is amazing considering I've only drove in total for 6 months since passing my test, and I've pushed myself to...

Yay, I have officially got back from the longest car journey I have ever done (and the car, driven only to the shops and back by the previous owner) 6 months I've been driving now come December 1st (need to get tax done again at that date) Drove a total of 284.3 miles!!! Approx 142 miles each...

Has anyone noticed once coming off the motorway after pushing the engine hard, the accelerator feels different doing the regular 30-40mph again until like the next time you stop and come to drive it the next day? Almost rumble-y?

I'm going to reset the mileage counter (I realized I could do this by pressing the left button by the LCD), after a full fill and see how many miles I can do, doing the short journeys I tend to do.
