Hey all. The car is a 2000 Micra 1.0 (00-03 model where the exhaust is hidden under the bumper rather than pokes through it). Firstly: I put new tyres are on the car a fair few years ago. The tread on the fronts are much lower than the back (all new at same time) - Is swapping them over around...

Hey all. The Micra had an MOT and failed it on last Saturday, on a few small things. I replaced the passenger headlight 4 years ago and it is apparently too high, which is wierd as the same place has MOT'ed it since 2005. I replaced the driver headlight a few weeks ago as a stone cracked...

Hey all. Around 20,000 miles ago my 2000 k11 micra (23,000 miles at the time) wore through the front brake pads and I needed new pads and discs (**** knows how the previous owner drove!) and now the car is on 40,500 miles. I just checked the front brakes and there is about 5mm of material on...

Evening, My k11 X Reg (2000) Micra is due for its annual service. It has done 40500 miles. Service history for the last few years is as follows: Summer 2009 - Garage did a service. Summer 2010 - I changed belts (the flipping Haynes manual was WRONG the tensioner was in the wrong place - had...

I know there are threads on this, but upon reading them it is mechanics talking to mechanics. I am a bit of a car servicing nub. Anyway, I changed the fuel filter (after much swearing) and now I am changing the belts. The alternator belt came off fine. The waterpump/powersteering are a...

Hi, Following on from my thread on a proposed service: http://www.micra.org.uk/threads/37674-Service-help-please I have a decent set inc. sockets but nothing special. I also have ramps for the front wheels. I still have some questions on what I plan to do: Engine oil change - What oil...

Well it has been a while since I last posted! I have a year 2000 micra 1.0 that is due a service. Three years ago, I changed the sparks, oil filter, engine oil, air filter by myself but that was all that was checked/changed. A year ago the car was serviced by a small indy and I paid...

I have a year 2000 micra (1.0 S 3dr). Before I owned it I think it may have been in a scuff and the passenger wing is rusting under the lip (that goes under the arch). A touch of this bubbling effect is creaping round to the front of the wing and so is visible. The metal lips on the other 3...

so i want the same alloys as dave off here. check the first link to see his car. http://www.micra.org.uk/showthread.php?t=8106 I found his alloys here, but what colour are they EXACTLY...

well I have some money and am considering alloy wheels. The same as Dave has on his red micra on this forum. I also want to lower the car 40-42mm. do I get lowering springs or do I need new suspension aswel? also wheres the best place to get alloys and or lowering springs from (and...

i have the k&n panel filter with my air feed unplugged but want something better. Can any of you here link me to the correct k&n induction kit as there are several around. Mines the final facelift micra (the 59hp version) that was made up until the k11 stopped in 2002. thanks

i found some genuine new fogs for sale. The bloke said they are 1998 onwards, but im sure 1998 micras look different to mine (mine looks identical to all the 2001 2002 models). will they fit?? also he says i need a new indicater arm with the fogs button on. this easy to fit?? thanks

i got a micra k11 with a k&n panel filter. ive unplugged the cold air feed as its rubbish but i want something better. now, i know k&n do a proper induction kit for the micra but it only has a pipe that directs cold air at it, hardly brilliant. i see some of the members here have got plumbing...

rather than hi-jack justmadeit's thread i will make my own. I had my micra 18 months and occasionly the emmisions sensor comes on despite it being replaced by a garage several times. Anyway i want more power, i know a 1.3/1.4 would have that but my engines just hit 25k miles so its no where...

hey all i have a facelift Xreg 1litre micra. mod wise its got a k&n panel filter with the cold air feed unplugged as its rubbish. This was done basically to stop it sounding like a metro:grinning: My q's are: 1. I have spaces for fogs but no fogs. are they pre-wired?? so i can just buy...

I have noticed that my engine has a nasty sound to it. It has a sort or squeeking sound as though something is rubbing that repeats every few seconds. Does anyone have a clue what it is? the engine works fine but im sure an engine shouldn't sound like this. The nosie is definately coming from...

hi, i have a k&n flat panel filter and i have simply unplugged the air intake (it is stil bolted in so its not changed anything) into the air box and have left it loose, overlapping the hole slightly so the engine gets both cold air and can breath more (i would add pics if i knew how i dont...

hi, ive had a replacement element, and it is better than stock by a long way sound wise. However, today i took the top off my airbox and the sound is way way better, which leads me to think i need to chuck my air box and get a new filter cone. Do i have a cone at the front of my engine with...
