Frank, Thanks for your advice. Would this also account for some coolant loss? I hope you have time to give me a little more info. How do you determine if it is oil cooler and not HGF? What is involved in repairing this?

Hi I have a K12 1.5 DCI diesel. Yesterday I turned the car on and heard what sounded like running water. Just as the engine started I put my head near the glove box and the noise was like water running out of a tap at very low pressure (like a small gurgle). This stopped after about 10 seconds...

The temperature control knob is not turning smoothly from blue to red. at the lower end it clicks and turns smoothly for about 2/3 of the circle and then clicks again at the end. The temperature is now all over the place. Now the hottest air comes out when the knob is at 3/4 red and then gets...

Micra central locking has gone a bit funny. It is a key operated central lock, but when I get out and close the door, the lock automatically engages without me turning the key. For that matter it also locks automatically when I get in and close the door. Anyone any advice on what might be...

The heater on my K11 isn't working properly. The fan goes through all its speeds and you can hear that it is spinning as loud as ever but the air is pretty much just trickling through, even on the highest setting. The highest setting feels like the lowest setting used to. Also the air is never...

Last night I heard a scraping and then looking underneath discovered that a shield was hanging off around the front exhaust box. I figure it is some sort of heat shield but can anyone tell me what exactly it is for? How essential it is to the car? Is it expensive to fix this thing? Very...

Both garages I spoke to said they would have to replace the entire length of pipes right through the length of the car, this was without even seeing the car. But the MOT inspector said to me that it could be replaced in portions. So what is the truth? Can you cut out a corroded part and replace...

My GF's car failed MOT. The fail was on the brake pipes at the rear which were excessively corroded. How big a job is it to repair the brake pipes? One garage said they would want to take the fuel tank out. Does that sound correct? Bit worried about the cost, sound like it nay end up being...

Can anyone tell me how to remove the windscreen wipers? The wipers are squeaking like hell and I have narrowed it down to the joint. I can take the arm off by flipping the cover and removing the nut. But then the mechanism is of course covered by a plastic panel connecting the windscreen to the...

Yeah it's a 1.0 GX. As far as I know they are all the same for the K11 petrol engines. Does anyone know if that's right?

I want to get a new distributor cap as I see a lot of oil leaking around mine and the car won't cold start. This morning I had to blow a hairdryer at the distributor for ten minutes before it burst to life. So I suspect it is letting in moisture. Anyway the suppliers keep telling me that there...

I don't think so I says NATS on the car and its not the sort of car anyone would have spent money on to fit a new alarm. Anyway supposing I reset the alarm correctly, do you have any idea why it refused to start after stalling? It was my fault I took foot of clutch too quick (it had just...

Sadly I am back again. The car came back and was starting fine for a couple of days. But this morning it started first time, then I stalled it and then it just would not start again (turned over but no kick). I tried the fuel pump fuse trick but this time on the second crank the car started to...

That's what i was wondering if it was the piggy back loom they were talking about. Problem was the mechanic was transferring the information to me through a receptionist. Got the car started last night. But, boy, was there some smell of fuel when she started. I dropped off a copy of this forum...

So basically after giving up on trying to find a solution I took it to the Nissan garage. They have told me that a wiring harness is causing the over-fueling and needs replaced. Ok fair enough the harness is £45 and they say it won't take long to fit but what harness could they be talking about...

I notice that the last digit of the part number is different in the one I got from the scrappy and the one on the car. The one on the car is: Nissan 42537M 22100-99B04 The one from the scrappy is: Nissan 42537N 22100-99B04 So I am guessing that the last letter is a check digit for the year...

okay, but isn't a standard part? Like wasn't the same resistor used in every K11? Perhaps i am missing something.

Sorry Matt. That message seems a bit cryptic to me. What do you mean?

Frank, I looked up the resistor you talked about. It seems to cost about £45. Would it not be cheaper just to replace the faulty coolant temperature sensor? Or is that not an option?
