How time flies.......... I bought "Steve" with 50,000 miles on the clock: https://rockgrotto.proboards.com/thread/8112/nissan-micra-sx-k12-engine Very sad to say bye bye ;)

I recenty said goodbye to my trusty 1.4 Micra SX which is now a cube of scrap metal. 197,00 miles on the clock. I really miss that workhorse, it didn't miss a beat UNTIL the fuel pump packed in (in the middle of the road)...... anyhoo I could spend all night telling you just how reliable...

It appears I don't have any private messages Mika? I think this forum is a bit "glitchy" (remember when my sports exhaust thread disappeared?) it's either something glitchy with the forum software or something at my end OR I have maybe pissed somebody off who runs this place? I don't know...

Hi Mika, I haven't been on here for ages mate, will go and check my private messages right now Sir ;)

Are you saying that I don't know how to use my big hands Mika? I have been using my bigger than average tool in tight spaces for many years and have had no complaints (to date) it has served me well ;) I seldom pay a mechanic to work on my car (unless it's something I can't do / ie: lift the...

This guy makes it look so easy but, it is far from easy, Major respect to these guys! My hands are too big to do this job with the headlights in place...... no way (on planet Earth) can I do this. I always have to physically remove the entire headlight (a right pain in the arse to replace...

Under the rear seat / inside the petrol tank / an absolute bastard to get to. Don't worry about it.

Using your key on that side of the door will let your car go out of theft mode...... trust me, been there and done it ;) Mike.

Put the "actual" key in the passenger side of the door...... that will unlock NATS and get you up and running again. The keyless fob has a key inside it..... can only be used on the passenger side of the door........ use that as a means of entry and your car will realise you're not a thief and...

Fuel pump not priming

ie: for example, if the fault is showing as a dodgy camshaft sensor "PO340" remove the old camshaft sensor and CLEAR / DELETE the fault code and THEN fit your new part. Whatever the fault always delete the fault code and THEN fit the new part..... trust me on this one ;) Mike.

Hi Rick, What code did your OBD sensor throw up (if any)? I had quite a few strange moments with my 1.4 micra and a new camshaft position sensor was what it was asking for. Whatever you have done so far, be sure to clear the fault codes BEFORE fitting the new bits, failure to clear the fault...

I'll keep this short and sweet. Drove into town a couple of days ago and when I slowed down (30MPH zone) there was a definite knocking / clunking sound coming from the front end of the car, this came on suddenly. A local mechanic put the car up on the shaker plates and went over it with a fine...

Awesome Mika! I have one side done which I did a couple of years ago with the lid from a jar of something or other I bought (and forgot what it was!) So only one side covered....... Will post pics. Will get a tub of cotton wool buds tomorrow and go with your mod for the other side. Before...

My original post has been deleted ( I don't know why) I cannot be arsed going over it all again / investing my time helping others for it to be deleted again. I'm now getting a genuine 130 BHP from my 160SR..... a combination of a lot of things (including the German Cobra silencer) but won't...

ie: don't open the door manually, flick the switch to unlock first and then open the door. Hope this helps, Mike.

OK...... tried again and if I hit the "lock" switch the light stays on constantly. Before you get out of your car in "lock" mode flip the switch to unlock, that should turn the light out.
