    The missing hydraulic pump!

    I feel daft asking this but I have run out of google searches: A few days ago my roof/boot system refused to open. A friendly passing RAC chappie discovered a very small (but significant) hydraulic leak in one of the pipes that lead from the pump to the ram. The pipe had got crimped somehow...

    Tinkle tinkle, from heat shields?

    My wife has been using the car today and became concerned that on arriving at a destination and turning the engine off she heard tinkling noises ........ from both the front and rear of the car. It died away after a few minutes so is it the position of the heat shields do you think? We are...

    Groaning clutch pedal.

    This still seems a problem as with the engine is off it is easy to here the groaning pedal. The operation does not seem stiff and there is no clutch judder. I guess the worst scenario is a problem with the release bearing or clutch but as I still have not got my Haynes manual (posted but not...

    Groaning clutch pedal.

    Bearing in mind that my back isn't what it was so it was difficult to get a good view of what I was doing (is WD40 good for carpets :)) I sprayed where I assume the spring to be and it does seem much better.

    Some engines 3 cylinder, some 4?

    It amazed a few a work when I told them I had a 4 cylinder. It seems to be accepted that the Micra is a 3 cylinder jobbie .............. an i.mpression that is obviously not correct. I too was surprised when I lifted the bonnet. Are there any opinions as to which is better, or smoother or...

    Some engines 3 cylinder, some 4?

    I have been a Micra owner for just two days. Bought a third hand 1998 Twister. Prior to buying it I was under the impression that all Micra's were 3 cylinder jobbies but was then surprised to see that my new purchase has 4. Are there a distinct number of models that have four? Was the...
