    K11 prefacelift Headlight flasher stalk stays on

    A small issue, but when I go to flash someone out and pull the stalk, it stays in the full beam position, it doesn't spring back, I assume to fix this, it's a new stalk? I can manually push it back, but I have to keep remember to!

    K11 pre-facelift running putt, putt, putt,

    Just when I get 1 of my Micra's running ok, the other one just suddenly starts playing up. Running fine, going to and from work, then all of a sudden running like loss of power and putt, putt putt effect from the exhaust, like it's missing. I have re-solded the TB earlier in the year. The idle...

    How does the Throttle body communicate with a CVT gearbox

    I am still trying to find out the solution to the my CVT gearbox light issue (flash code 6), I have noticed now that the revs are hunting badly up and down etc. I am trying to rule out if the TB sensors could be giving wrong signals and this is throwing out the CVT? I have additionally noticed...

    K11 prefacelift idles ok, then all of a sudden low idle and smells like running rich

    I know I have touched upon this before, but still can't get to the bottom of it with my stock Micra. Sometimes it idles fine, then all of a random sudden the revs will drop and idle like it gonna cut out (sometimes it does), then smells like running ultra rich. If you hold your foot on the gas...

    K&N air filter (drop in) better than stock ones?

    My stock K11 (prefacelift) has a K&N drop in filter, I know it won't make much difference in the performance department. However, I heard that the oil of these filter can play up the mass air sensor sometimes, I just wondered if this is true, as having occasional idle issues, wondered if...

    High Idle (1100 rpm) Pre-facelift

    Hi One of my K11's is idling slightly high around 1100rpm when warm, 1400rpm when cold then drops down to 1100rpm, it doesn't hunt just stays at that, it's not a massive issue, but prefer to slightly lower it, if there is a way. I've cleaned out the TB & ICV, but hasn't made a difference. Thanks
