Yes, it was definitely the right plug. It didn't calm mine down to make it usable, unfortunately, but it changed the symptoms slightly. Less kangaroo-ey, and didn't cut out when coming to a stop, but seemingly very limited in revs a few times, but had full revs at others. Also, still had very...

Perhaps. I'll have to pick up an OBD reader next week and see what that says. There's no yellow light on the dash, so I'm assuming (perhaps naively?) that there'd therefore be no codes?

Ah looks as if I edited my post at the same time you were replying to the unedited one.

Thanks Micra Paul. I questioned the mechanic and he said "I can't leave it unplugged, because you won't have a throttle". But I'll try it this afternoon anyway, because he's the only person who has said this. EDIT: I just unplugged the MAF and drove it down the road a bit, and the symptoms...

Hello, I have a 2000 W-reg K11. It's a 1 litre 16v, and doesn't have coils. The other day it began jumping whilst driving, cutting out coming into traffic lights (but starts again immediately), and is running very rich, with a sooty tailpipe and a strong smell of exhaust fumes. It drives...

Ah ok, thank you for the info.

Hi people. Silly question, I know, but I've just picked up a genuine Nissan dizzy cap for a 2000 K11. I plan to change it within the next week as part of my service. When I looked at my current one it suddenly occured to me I'd need a seal, won't I? Last time I changed one was on a MK3 Escort...

There is no hesitation or misfire at all, nor can I see even the tiniest evidence of water in the oil, so feel 99% confident it's only oil getting into coolant. At least I think it's oil. It's mayo coloured, and dissovles into the coolant when I bounce the car, and there's a bit more of it 3...

An update for anybody that feels like shedding light. I rang the garage, told them oil in coolant, and asked for head gasket to be checked and changed as well as coolant flush. Receptionist said she'd talk to mechanic and ring me back. She rang back saying the mechanic claimed it's a common...

Cheers mate. In hindsight, I did find it odd that I needed to top-up the coolant with 200ml about 3 months ago, but couldn't, and cannot find any leaks. Hopefully I'll get it sorted end of this week.

Twincam-Alex, I've no idea. For all I know it might be the original coolant. adrianblack, I'm leaning more towards it being the beginnings of head gasket failure too. The thing is, despite being 23 years old, it's only got 36k miles on it. For a k11 it woud surprise me if a head gasket fails...

Hi all, Last week, when my bonnet was open on my 2000 K11, I glanced at the coolant tank, and it looked as if there was a very thin white line of something sitting on top of the coolant in the front corner (it's parked downhill). I bounced the car and it instantly disappeared. I then drove 60...

Cheers pal. I'll crack on with that.

Thanks for your time and trouble Craig. Your list very much suggests sequential and ascending order. In which case my 780*** coming just 9 months after your 714*** seems to make a lot of sense. 012*** suggests a '92 or '93 car. Perhaps such a car had been traded in, and the dealer recorded that...

Craig, thanks for your reply. No it's not that bumper, mine is the last of the prior generation, being registered just before the generation you posted came out. The number on the engine and on the logbook begins 780***, and the number written in the service book in Apr 2000 by the original main...

I know this thread is 6 weeks old, but this is how I found mine recently. I looked on ebay, and I ticked the years K11s were produced so I'd only see them, and I changed the search critera to "newly listed", then I saved that in my favourites, and clicked on it each day. I found 2 or 3 were...

Hello all, This is my first post on this excellent forum. I've been reading it for a while. Thought I'd join. I used to have a 1998 K11. Ran it for 8 years and it was an amazing car. I added 47,000 virtually trouble free miles onto it and went to all corners of the UK. The rot let it down in...
