    wet petrol?

    Hello, back again after a long hiatus I haven't been driving regularly for some time. The last time I drove my Micra in December I noticed the fuel gauge was inaccurate. The car was driven, then parked warm, when I came back to it 2 hours later it showed I had more fuel than I had previously...

    Anyone have this issue? Got it as an advisory last year, car hasn't been driven all summer, taking it in again for MOT now (probably <300 miles since last MOT) Hoping it passes, anyone know what I can expect as far as cost if not? Obviously would be easier to tell if I had pictures, but a...

    Disconnected battery

    Had my battery off the car now for over 6 weeks, just wanted to know if I'm likely to have any issues with the ECU or keys when I connect it back up? It's a 1999 facelift 1.0l with the red chip in the key (no buttons on it) It was broken for a while and I remember I kept taking it off and...

    my petrol flap is sticking

    I vaguely remember someone saying not to use wd40 inside the keyhole, because it will attract dust/dirt and stick again a few months later... but I can't remember what the correct thing people said to use is. Can anyone remind me?

    Screenwash

    Looking like it's going to be a cold one I'm curious what screenwash everyone uses in their cars, any that you buy every time and have been happy with? Which ones are just colourful water? What temperature do you reckon it needs to protect down to? It was -2 yesterday

    check your timing

    So I finally got around to checking my timing yesterday, put it off for ages and was surprised how easy it was to do on the Micra. Mine had been running on 5 degrees before top dead centre when it should have been running on 15 degrees, I've adjusted it now and it's solved the top end of the...

    Timing marks on a CG10DE

    I have a 1 litre micra, 1999, I replaced the distributor twice now over the years and each time just tried to get it as close to how the last one was set, and it's not worked out on distributor number 2 because it idles rough and sometimes rough enough to cut out, weirdly though if I keep the...

    Worried about a false claim scam on my insurance

    Been out in the Micra today, had a few errands to run and been on the way to the Post office, had just picked up 2 massive tubs of paint so I was driving even more carefully as it was because I didn't want them spilling all over the boot, now I've potentially got this headache to deal with. So...

    Car cutting out while idling

    Can't remember if I was in 1st or in neutral, was waiting on a hill down towards some lights and it cut out on me. I absolutely sh*t my pants since the last time it cut on me it didn't start again for 6 months, and that time it happened in December at 3am 150 miles from home with a hefty towing...

    Gearbox oil etc

    Anybody know the change intervals on a manual k11 micra 1999 for the various wear components in the gear box? My gears have been difficult to slot in recently, I thought it was probably just because the other spring went (it used to return from the 5/reverse side, but not from the 1/2 side) and...

    Guide to fixing the headlight wiring plug issue

    Alright guys. Originally intended to film this as a guide for here, but it proved too tricky to solder and film at the same time, and what I thought would take 15 minutes at the most ended up taking me over an hour since I made the mistake of not buying any flux and I couldn't get the solder to...
