Had a very similar problem, see my recent post "poor performance solved". Mine was more noticeable after a longer spell of running than you are experiencing but it turned out to be a faulty thermostat not allowing the engine to operate at the correct temperature. Like you no warning lights or...

Thought fellow K12 Micra owners might be interested in a problem which I had solved with my car. I was losing performance, especially at low engine speeds, which was most noticeable after reducing speed on motorways and A roads after sitting at constant speeds with very little actual movement...

Had a problem with the potentiometer on my 06 Micra and bought one second-hand for £35. They are quite easy to source online. If you go down the replacement route it's very easy to do it yourself. One electrical connector and 3 bolts to remove, 10 mm spanner, sure that's the right size, is all...

You can certainly rock the car back and forward but don't think you can push start as it damages the catalyst.

Lizzie, get a garage to check it out but I had exactly the same problem in an 06 1.2, noise just happened in cold weather initially (extra strain on the starter) but when it did the same in warmer conditions I replaced the starter motor, they're not too expensive, around £70 or so, plus fitting...

Thanks for the advice, and your link SkunkMunkey300. Think I'll get a friend who is a retired time served mechanic to do it in case I break something. Oh how I long for simplicity!!!!

Looking for some advice folks. I need to remove my nearside headlight on my K12. Is it just the 2 bolts that hold it in place or are there some hidden attachments and surrounding trim I need to remove as well? Also If it is removed and re-fitted will I need to get my headlights re-aligned or...

We all love our Micras, that's why we are on this website, but would we buy another one? There are many good small cars out there, the Hyundai i10 (which I have driven and really like), Kia Picanto, Toyota Yaris, Corsa etc and they all have one thing in common, long warranties. Although not...

hypojam: I have had an 06 1.2 for the last 4 years which has the MPG readout on the instument panel. Even allowing for error, which is very slight as I have checked with brim to brim refuelling, I have never had below 45 mpg, even on short runs. around 50 mpg on long trips, A roads and...

Hi folks, was wondering if anyone else had a problem with their K12 1.2 pulling to the left and wearing tyres unevenly? Had this problem for some time. Had alignment (4 wheel) checked on quite a few occasions by Nissan dealers and independents and only very minor adjustments carried out when...

That's what I thought, performance cars, Subaru's and the like, were the one's that had knock sensors but the garage owner said all cars have systems that advance or retard the ignition according to fuel octane to stop pinking. On the odd occasion I have used supermarket ordinary unleaded, I...

Hi everyone, I've owned a 06 K12 Micra (1.2 petrol) for the last 4 years. Like many of you I've had my problems, the main one being the replacement of the throttle body, fortunately under an extended warranty. I've always tried to use "proper fuel in the car and on speaking to the owner of the...
