Was I just looking at this on Autotrader?

This might seem a bit of a daft question but here goes anyway lol! I'm getting a repetitive clicking noise when turning right only, when the steering wheel is nearing full lock. I've checked for anything rubbing at the front wheels, all the gators are intact, wheel nuts tight. My question is...

Don't have a rev counter but it feels the same. All the vibration disappears if I tip the gas, even in neutral. Clutch is quite high and have been meaning to adjust cable, could that have any effect?

Heater was on but I did switch it off and there was no difference.

Don't know what it's idling at, how do I tell?

Hello! I'm in Scotland and the temperature was minus 8 today when I was driving. Anyway, when the car was in neutral, say at the lights, the engine was really vibrating, shaking through the whole car - almost as if you were at the biting point without gas and the car was about to stall...

Hi there. Did as you suggested, unplugged the connectors to the tailgate (heated window, rear wiper, upper stop light, reg plate light etc) and tested the continuity of the wiring that goes into the boot at the side of the lights. There was no continuity so the wires must be broken inside...

Thanks for the replies. I have a multimeter and will attempt to as you both suggest. This might sound stupid, but where does the wiring go to get from the back to the front of the car?

This car drives me nuts! It could be the connection but I wonder why 2 lights would go out and then 1 would come back when i replace a (not blown) fuse. I've swapped the centre light over with my pal's one and it works okay in his. It must be the wiring somewhere but over the last while every...

Driver's side stop light and centre high mounted stop light not working. Went and got new bulbs which didn't help. Changed the 10amp fuse for stop light. Now both left and right stop lights working but centre does not. Which is the fuse for this little ****? Ta!

Back at this again! Here's the bit from the Haynes manual. Two sets of wiring diagrams in the book. Top left is for 2000-2003, bottom right for 1993-1999. Mine is 1999 but I've got the fusible linkbox from one and the passenger fusebox from the others. This renders the wiring diagrams in...

Ta for the replies, followed your suggestions, all okay.

Update - was the crank angle sensor in distributor. Changed the sensor, all now okay.

Just a quick follow up - got the part, swapped it over ( not too difficult) - all working fine now, ta.

Hi there. I'm still awaiting a new crank angle sensor for my dodgy distributor through the mail and I'm thinking of getting a dizzy from the scrappy and trying it. Question is, I know the ignition timing is set by turning the distributor body when it is in place, but if I just plop a...

I recorded the noise and played it backwards...I heard "should've bought a corsa" - it seems you may be right!

Hi there. My mate asked my to take his Micra out for a spin as to see what i thought as he thought there was something not quite right with it. He wasn't wrong. When accelerating, a squeaking noise could be heard, and when my foot came off the accelerator there was a kind of bump through the...

Pretty accurate, lol. Hesitant acceleration, total power loss with engine randomly cutting out completely, mainly when idling or inching along in traffic - although once at high speed! Unable to start the engine again for about 20 minutes after it cuts out. The sensor appears to go faulty when...

Cool, I'll give it a go! Ta.

Thanks for the reply, and the photo, Frank. Mine is a replacement distributor but I'm sure it will be the same. Am I going to have to get busy with a soldering iron? If so, it scares me a bit!
