    Boot Lid Lock ... Reloaded!

    Re: my posting on Micra boot lid not opening. I worked out that it was the microswitch that was playing up, so without taking it out of the housing I drowned it with WD40. It has been working perfectly ever since. When I get chance I'll use Vasoline to make a housing to boot seal.

    Door key

    Just in case it might help somebody. The remote door locking key failed the other day. Unlocking worked, locking did not. Took it apart and found that the tiny micro switch had come loose and was floating around under the soft plastic cover. Spot of Superglue to stick it back on to the pcb, then...

    Door Lock

    2005 Micra. Sometimes the driver's door will not open from the inside. Pressing the switch near the gearstick usually but not always unlocks the door. I can't get my head round the owners manual and this is driving me crackers! I'd be glad of any suggestion. Thanks Steve email if you...
