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...

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...

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.

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...

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.

Hi, Our Micra got an ugly scrape last night, found this in the morning... (see attach). I'd like to clean that area and repaint it with a colour as close as possible to the original. Does anyone know how I can find out the code for the car's colour or something? It's a dark blue Micra from...

Hi, Is it difficult to change the drive belt on a Micra '03? It shredded and now it makes the most terrible noise as the bits hanging around are hitting the metal around it. Local garage quoted me £75, but I think that's a bit excessive. I found the belt online for ~£10; for the rest of the...

Hi, seeing how our micra is not feeling well we might have to buy another one this or next year. If anyone can tell from their experience, what's a good year/model? I would imagine they fixed most of the problems by the time they released the last k12 in 2010, right? Would that be a good bet...

Hi, I have a problem with my Micra (since we got it really, 1 year ago). When turning right, no matter the gear - except reverse! - I hear this ugly grinding noise coming from the left side. People suggested CV joint problems, but the noise should be a "clack clack", not a grinding one from...

Hi, Does anyone have a very approx idea of how much a driveshaft/cv axle replacement might cost me? Just so I know if it's worth going to a garage or make a DIY attempt. :-) It's the front-left one, it's been making ugly grinding noises when turning for a while now, I reckon it'd be cheaper to...

Hello, In these cold days my battery has started to let us down and not start the car. I reckon it's very old and as we're Sunday drivers, it doesn't get charged properly. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to give this one some new life or models/sizes of new ones? Car is Micra k12...

Hi, I'm having an issue with my hardwired dashcam (g1w); I connected it to the ACC fuse so it should turn on when the key is in ACC position and indeed it does, however if I stay in ACC for a while and then go IGNition, the camera gets confused and shut down as there is a moment there when the...

Hello, What is the name/model of the smaller bulbs at the top of the head light (see attached pic)? Our right hand side one is gone by the looks of it and need to replace it. While at it was wondering if it's worth replacing them with LEDs and if anyone can recommend some? Might get handy...

Hello, My 2003 K12 is quite oil hungry. Incidentally, it also makes a weird "knocking" sound when in neutral (sounds fine when driving). Upon hearing this a friend instantly said it must be the PCV valve. Can anyone tell me where this valve is on a K12? I understand changing it is cheap and...

Hello, My one and only key looks something like this, only much more beaten up (3rd owner): Can anyone confirm whether this new fob would be compatible with it or not, or point me to a fob that is known to work and fits the slot on the steering/starter? Thanks!

Hi, Budget is tight, but I'm looking to renew the tyres in our K12 (2003, alloy). What do owners around here recommend, new economy tyres or second hand but brand ones? And while at it, any general advice, gotchas etc regarding k12 tyres/wheels?

Hello, We got a K12 from '03, the stereo is not original and it's in pretty bad shape. Volume controls from the steering wheel do not work, it does not have a bluetooth or a simple AUX-IN slot to feed it some music from the phone/mp3player. Only 1DIN available. Can anyone recommend a compatible...

Hi, I'm trying to connect a dash cam in the fuse box and it requires a ground connection, obviously. I've been staring at the fuse box, but can't figure out a good point where to ground the camera. Any pointers? Where do people ground their devices? Cheers!

Hello, Since a while we started hearing these metallic noises seemingly coming from or around the front wheels, could also be the engine. We can hear this when the car is stationary or moving (with the windows open, if the windows are closed it's not audible). Does this sound familiar to...
