    roof rack?

    Hello, I need to transport some panels, pallets etc that are longer than I can fit in my Micra's boot (k12, 2003, 5d) and was thinking to get a roof rack instead of paying a van man. Any recommendations? I've also checked the roof of my Micra and it doesn't seem to have any screw points for...

    Reverse light is out, but reverse sensors working

    Rossboy, what do you mean by "rear light cluster"? The plastic frame holding the bulbs and their sockets? Sorry for sounding silly. Disconnecting the battery hasn't helped.

    Reverse light is out, but reverse sensors working

    Hello, I have a problem with my reverse light, it stopped working at some point. I checked the bulb and it's fine. From what I read I need to check the fuse under the right head lamp, is that so? If that checks out it means it must be the switch on the gear box. What puzzles me is, why are...

    Micra wont lock

    Have you checked the battery in the fob? Locking and unlocking require electricity to send the radio signal to the vehicle, starting the car doesn't require electricity in the fob, the transponder inside is detected passively by the car's transceiver.

    oil needs topping up often

    I also buy 5w30 fully synthetic. I usually watch out for discounts on eurocarparts and try to get good quality ones such as Shell.

    oil needs topping up often

    My 03 k12 also likes her oil a bit too much. I do check it weekly though and make sure she's topped up.

    broken web site

    Hi, For a while I thought micra.org.uk is gone. :) If you access it via http (as I had it bookmarked) it gives error 403 Forbidden. Might want to put in a redirect, you're losing visitors.

    I fixed my boot, had to use 12v indeed on the pins at the bottom of the hatch. Turns out one of the power cables ruptured in the rubber sleeve near the hatch hinges.

    Boot lock voltage

    Hi, My boot lock has been blocked for a while now. I pierced one of the yellow cables leading into the lock with a voltmetre but I only get around 2V on the reading. Can anyone confirm I should be seeing 12V? The cable probably got messed up in some parts, probably near the latch. I want to...

    spare auxiliary belt tensioner

    Hi, the auxiliary belt tensioner in my k12 went kaput. Garage says part is only available from Nissan and it takes 3-4 weeks to get it. Would you have any idea how to get another such part quicker? 3 weeks is gonna significantly mess up my commute.
