Gave it a sevice, unfortunately where I live no flat surfaces, so slight rear facing. Slop ( to a kerb), was lucky to get 2L of oil in. Interestingly, the first oil to come out the dump was pretty clean ( still golden), later stuff was blacker. Think the slope left a fair bit in.

Perfect, though I did just lift the door up by hand whilst it was open, did the trick!

Gave it a wash and polish, looking much better, soon to be gone though, baby in the back seat just isn't working . Anyone interested let me know ( 1.1 micra dot, red, L reg, just over 100k, new battery, sony stereo and rear shelf speaker, thinking £450. Mot Feb 2015, had the front cross member...

Hi All, bit of a stupid question, but what are the specs for the battery in the Micra, the one fitted is 45aH, but many 'Micra' batteries are only 40aH, also appreciate there are a range of sizes, not all of which will fit (and the ones recomened for the Micra seem to come in different...

Hi, it's been saved, but yes, was a pre face lift. Welding was only £30, compared the £175 they suggested originally. Reckon she is going to keep it for 2-3 months then it's something newer ( new baby and getting the seat in the rear is the main driving force).

Sadly the gf's car Dotty failed its MOT ( from subframe (repaired before), and emissions (needs full new exhaust and lambda sensor), along with a load of advisories), so taken the sad decision to scrap her. It's a low spec edition, but taking out the speaker, stereo ( aftermarket), and the rear...

Fantastic work on the car there, similar to the state my gf's car is in, already looking better, but shocked that the grill was supposed to have a black bit in, thought it looked quite good all red tbh, especially after a good polish! :)

The micra grounds through the chasis, not a ground cable as such, so connect it up to some metalwork, there are a few threads on this if you use the search)

Spent an hour down the scrapper, got a new drivers door handle (old one cracked), and new control stalks (old ones completely grey/ white), pre-facelift clip ons, so a pain to find. Then fitted the new pieces and shampooed the drivers seat. Even though the new stalks were a little faded, the...

Suppose it depends on the model (and what it has already), looking at doing some similar things to my gf's too. Like you, the stereo was first stop (the rear shelf is pre-wired, so if you can get a cheap shelf, you will have four speakers without the hassle of wiring up the car). Might be worth...

For the oil, the two numbers correspond to the thickness of the oil. The Second number is the operating temperature thickness (which you should always try and stick to, lower is thinner), though a drop of 10 (40 -> 30 ) should increase efficiency by around 2% (according to certain sites). The...

Not sure if it is the same on facelift as pre-facelift, but the book of lies (which states K -T reg, 93-99), suggests: Slide shade to rear Remove side trim clips, then unscrew the nuts securing the lid to the cable end fittings. Withdraw the sunroof from the outside Undo the screws retaining...

As above, also stick a bottle of injector cleaner through the next tank, might help clear any guff in the lines ( on offer at tesco the other day for £2, normally £5).

Investigated the non sliding sunroof. Apparently it has not opened for about 4 years! It tilted, but refused to slide back. Appeared that on one side of the shiny metal hook things was not grabbing the other,(it slides back and should capture a long silver part), instead it hits it head on...

Hi, looking to change the indicator stalks etc in the Micra, currently they are grey and degraded from the sun (didn't believe they were originally black!). So looking to change and read some of the early ones had clip in as opposed to screw in stalks. Anyone know when this was changed (before I...

Try E-bay, not sure where you are, but you can sort by distance too: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313.TR10.TRC0&_nkw=micra+breaking&_sacat=0&_from=R40

The site below lists a lot of the specs and what they come with, also check the thread underneath, discussing what's on most of the special editions http://www.helpfindmea.co.uk/cars/specs/nissan-micra-specifications-338/ This thread...

Just did this job, used alpine 6.5 sxe-1725s , took the existing spades out of the plastic plug (fairly easy job, certainly one seems designed to be removed, and didn't have to damage plug) and they fitted fine on the new terminals. One of the speakers on each has a black line on, used that as...

Thanks, can confirm the PC2-13-4 adaptor fits the Blaupunkt no problem (if anyone comes across this thread with the same question).

Changed the sound system. New shelf speakers (speaker shelf from scrapers), beautiful of Nissan to ready wire the car! New (to car) Alpine door speakers, one old speaker was not working, dreading tracing a break in the cable, but new speaker worked straight away! New head unit (thanks to your...
