So I changed the cam sensor today and now it starts first time every time. WOOHOO!!!! ??? Thanks god it wasn't the chain and pulleys - I'd have had to scrap the poor wee thing!

Um...on reflection, I'm pretty sure he said "chain" when we discussed the possibility of it needing replacing. When I wrote "belt" earlier, that was my mistake, not his. Also, on start-up it runs lumpy. It's not misfiring, just a rough idle which settles down once it warms up. I've noticed my...

Lightbulb. Consider yourself thoroughly high-5'd and have 10 points for Griffindor :) Thanks all round!

He checked it, said the tension was fine and gap was well within tolerance. This is why I'm confuseled!

Hey John, Yeah from memory the codes were P011 and P034 (or P032...might have them a little wrong, but it said the problem was the cam position sensors). When I did my homework it said the likeliest cause was a knackered belt but my mechanic said it was fine.

Hey hey, So far you guys have been terrific help with the problems I've had, and I really hope you can help me out this time too: I have a 2007 K12 Spirita 1.2 (80hp) that's developed a persistent issue. First, it would cut out whilst driving, usually when revs were high (over 4000rpm). If I...

When i checked them, Motor Factors here either don't do it or charge more than the dealership, so I was asking on the off-chance anybody else had encountered this problem and found a cheap solution :) Anyway, found a k12 in a scrap yard and managed to get a complete of shoes, springs, adjusters...

So...here's an interesting update. Turns out the reason my handbrake isnt working on the drivers side is because the automatic brake adjuster is broken. Not just seized, but also missing a bit. Checked my photos from doing the shoes last time and it was fine then. My only guess is the MOT test...

Thanks for the reply Mac, I've been pounding Google for an answer and just found this This guy makes it seem simple.

Alright troops. A few months back I had to replace the rear wheel bearings on my 1.2 Spirita. While doing so I noticed the brake shoes were wearing unevenly so I replaced them too. This was not fun. The weird twisty arm thingy at the top of the brake drum in between the shoes is the work of...

Sorted: going to pick up some Renault wheel bolts, they are exactly what's needed!

Okay....So it turns out that K11 wheel bolts are 19mm hex with M12 X 1.25 thread; and K12 wheel bolts are 17mm hex with M12 X 1.5 thread. So my K11 steelie hubcaps won't stay on my K12 OE wheel bolts and I can't swap them over for the K11 ones. BAWS! :mad: ...however...I was about to fork out...

Thanks John_D! I'll get right on that :D

Nobody? No ideas?

I've got K11 hubcaps (7 inch silver center caps from silver steel wheels) and I want to put them on the 15 inch black steelies on my K12 Micra. From the look of them, they push onto the wheel bolts and 'click' into place. Only problem is when I push them on the wheel bolts they aren't secure...

Awrite troops... Firstly, Hi to all! I've lurked on the site getting any info I needed from those who've gone through it before me, a big thanks for that :) I need help sorting out my hubcaps. I've got Clio 15X6.5 black steelies on mine, they fill out the arches nice and I like the way they...

Let's exchange experiences of Micra and yourcra.
