This is one of those times when you write stuff for no real reason other than feeling very alone. I'm at my wits end with the micra. I've had it for about 2 months and it's been a constant source of annoyance with new issues arising every week. 2days ago it started overheating on hills, took...

And so the Micra decides to misbehave . .. AGAIN. Drove about 10km, didn't get stuck in trafic anywhere... Temp got up to 3/4 of the gauge, luckily it happened just as I arrived where I wanted to go. Fan was blowing like mad and water level in the expansion tank was much higher than max...

Just increased the idle of my micra and now she feels a tiny bit less rev happy at around the 3000rpm and over mark. Could this be related? Also changed fuel pump recently.

Ok here's a question for all out there . . . what appeals to you most in the Micra? To start this off, for me it was the stealth image. Here in Malta the idea of a modified car is usually something on the lines of a bubble Corsa with JAP kit on it, tiny alloys and a wheezing 1.0L with a fart...

As some of you may know I recently replaced my fuel pump as the previous one decided to go on strike. Since then the Micra has developed an annoying but hilarious fault. When the gauge is between the 1/2 and 1/4 mark, if I take a corner to the right hard, the pump draws in air so I have no...

My Super S is getting a dead fuel pump sorted at the moment, which means I've got loads of time to plan out future mods :P What I've done up to now is: Removed door strips taped up front fogs for a racer look 'twincam' stickers on the sides 'facebook you like this' sticker on the back window...

And so today the micra decided to be an annoyance by dying on me :/ Ever since I've had her I always suspected that the throttle body was on its way out, idle was low, about to stall when starting from cold and she did hesitate a little sometimes. However, none were serious and I decided to...

Hi all. My Super S is idling really low. When I start from cold, the idle is just below the first mark above 0 on the rev-counter (300ish rpm I'd guess) When she's warmed up, idle goes up to the second line and a bit higher. Its annoying as I have to rev the car quite a bit to get out of my...

Hi all, My driver side mirror glass is hanging off, it moves about a bit, but not too bad as to fall off. Feels as if its unclipped from the top of its mount. Is this fixable or do I need a new mirror? I also need to change my driver side one as the glass is evidently from another car and...

Hi all :) how do I adjust the clutch cable on my K11 Super S? As it is the clutch pedal works fine, but I'd like it to bite a little bit higher. Thanks! :)

Hi all, I noteced a couple of threads advising different methods to remove the door strips. Just removed mine using this stuff and it works wonders :D It's really just an Italian household de-greaser (should be available in UK though, keep in mind i'm from Malta) but made the job really...

Hi all :) As some of you may probably know by now, I'm restoring a K11 Super S that has been in storage for quite some time. I've just noticed another sound today (OH JOY!). When the engine is warmed up (1/2 on temp gauge) I get a noise coming from the area of the water pump. Its not very loud...

Hi all :) Thought I'd share my new project with you. Just bought a K11 Super S (1 of only 3 ever imported into Malta). She's been in dry storage for a while, so my project is to get the thing back onto the road first, then modify. For those who have never been to Malta, our roads are waaay...

Hi all :) I'v just got a K11 Super S that has been garaged for some time. Brakes are squeaking away as I drive, sounds as if the pads are scraping the discs very slightly. Also, handbrake needs adjusting as it comes up very high to hold the car. Anyone tell me how I can fix these? I'm still a...

Hi all :) just joined the MSC so still a newbie. 2 days ago I bought a K11 Micra super s with 127000 on the clock. Bodywork is still in great shape, and it has had a respray very recently (I live in Malta, so rust isn't really an issue). I got home and opened the rad cap.... EMPTY. I filled...
