Morning all. Had a misfire for the last few weeks. Car is a 94 1.0 Base model, all standard, no mods. Car starts a treat, runs but power low and running rough. This is what I've done today: 1. Changed plugs for nice fresh NGK's .... 1 & 2 were a nice colour, 3 & 4 were quite dark and a bit...

Morning all. My 94 base K11 we consider our workhorse. It's tows, roof carrys and interior is always full of various projects. But it's still in great overall condition and we have maintained it well. Every month we get at least 2 folks knock and ask if we want sell it. This started maybe 3...

Evening all. A nice article in today's Auto Express looking back at the K11. They conclude .... "As simple, honest transportation, the second-generation Micra nailed the brief (arguably in a more successful fashion than its less impressive successors), and continues to do so to this day. The...

Morning all, MOT showed the normal list this week .... headlight adjust, replacement cross member, seat belt welding, CV rubber, wipers, perished fuel pipe etc. All easy cheap stuff. But this time for the first time an advisory on coils. Have considered a few times to do coils and suspension in...

Afternoon all, been a while. Posted a couple of years back about leak causing huge puddling in the drivers foot well. Had some great ideas to look for and tried them but alas still we have huge puddling. Wandering if anyone could post the link to one of two of the brilliant photo threads...

Morning all. Doing the morning paperwork and in the background a program on TV called Vintage Voltage came on where they convert old cars to EV. Got drawn into watching a small amount of it and then it struck me ...... would it be a cool project convert a K11 to an EV? Would it even be...

Morning guys, hope everyone keeping well. Been a while. My K11 1.0 95 never misses a beat but sat for 2 weeks unused. Came to start and I get excellent turn over but no start. - Plugs are clean, dry and excellent spark - changed approx 2 years back with NGK's (old were fine) but changed anyway...

I've asked this one before ages back and changed a good few on reg plates, interior bulbs etc with some success thanks to recommendations of micra.org members but I never went with the main headlights. Given I've had a problem (most likely headlight) that has caused the fuse box to burn and...

Three times in a day! Anyone used these on a wiring loom with success? They sound very good but entirely new on me. Interested if anyone got anything good or bad to say about these .....

Hi again .... overlapping from my earlier post about a burnt out fuse box in the engine bay, I can see a complete loom listed on ebay but for a 99. Mines a late 94/95 1.0 3 door base model and I don't know how year specific they are. This is a pic of the loom of the 99 .... it looks fairly...

Evening folks & an early happy new year to you all .... been a while. Hopefully better than this year. Booked in for MOT tomorrow and LHS bulb not working. Easy thinks I. Main & driving LHS front was not working. Thought a bulb. Bulb fine. Then thought fuse. Fuse NOT fine .... the blue 15a in...

Morning guys, hope all keeping well in these times. Last week did a rebuild of entire front brakes. What we thought good & well maintained was 90% original Nissan 94' metal! In reality only the one caliper bolt rusted but changed everything. Worked amazing well ..... until yesterday! :)...

Evening all, Seen a nice clean set of seats from a 99 K11 but I'm wandering if they will be a straight fit into our 95' pre-facelift? Ours look tidy and are original but less comfortable than they were and near that point were the foam moves away from metal frame. Would be great get to know...

Imagine my excitement when I see this in my email from ebay this afternoon ........ "Nissan Micra K11 Pre Face Lift JDM Dash Pod Cup Holder - Used" So I rush to my laptop and search and think, I'll put a cheeky bid on it. After-all I've been looking more than two years now. Yeah why not go a...

Cannot believe I can't find any clips. The ones prised off were not great ... well the flat one holding the hose to the pipe wasn't anyway. The one holding hose to struct on the vertical was not so bad. Anyone know where to get them? Would have thought maybe off another model or suchlike...

Again I've looked everywhere and can find nothing ... not even 2nd user. If anyone knows where I can get some it would be a massive help. What a mess ... banjo bolt stuck and narled up ... carrier pin welded firm in the carrier. Thanks as always guys ..... just when you thought life was going...

Just when you thought you'd loosened and sorted everything! Argh .... Brake carrier bottom pin seized something cruel. Been like it ages it seems. So asked No.1 son take it apart replace caliper, pins, hose and discs. Easy right? Nooooooo The pin seized in carrier and can I find carriers...

Morning all. Our 94' pre-facelift running a treat and earns it's living every day. There is zero chance of it being moved on and indeed we will be preping it for 16 year old Grandson to learn in go Uni / work soon. But as happens, the exhaust started to blow a couple days back .... I bought...

Morning all, hope all keeping well. Anyone know where I can send some small parts for shot blasting and re-chroming? Can usually find someone round us doing such things but struggling to do so for small parts and small quantities .... literally 2-4 small parts. Interested if you've used...

Morning all, Handbrake light has just suddenly become fixed on. Think is handbrake and braking all round seems 100% so I'm wandering if it's a failed/dirty/obstructed switch? Trouble is, away from home right now and limited look up and tools. Could use a quick reminder or pointer as to...
