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...

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...

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 have had starting problems. I suspected the dizzy but now I am not so sure. I read somewhere to check for over-fuelling. I removed the fuel pump fuse, cranked the car a few times and then replaced the fuse and - BINGO the car starts first time. Each time the car fails to start, if I do this...

Hi can someone tell me if all the K11's had the same distributor or were there different types? I have a CG10 engine but I think all K11 Micra's had a common distributor. I don't want to get one of another car and then find out that it doesn't fit. Thanks
