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...

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...

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!

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...

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...

Got a fault code 11 which is crank angle sensor fault. Distributor is only 6 months old, still under warranty. Received an e-mail from the supplier who offered me 2 ways to rectify the fault. Either I send the distributor back and they will change the crank angle sensor, or they will send me out...

1999 K11. I'm driving on the motorway in rush hour, which is basically gridlocked and there's a lot of stop/starting. I'm maybe doing 12mph in second gear when the engine completely stops, as if it stalled. Cannot get the car to start again. So have to wait for breakdown van and police to...

Howdy! 1999 K11, bought a few months ago. Rear demister has never worked. Rear wiper has stopped working. I've just bought a multimeter am wondering how to proceed. Okay, the rear demister has never worked, but the switch on the dash lights up and I've replaced the fuse in the fusebox...

The biting point on my micra has been high since I bought it and I thought I'd attempt to lower it towards the middle of the pedal travel. Have a picture here of the clutch cable. Now should I thread the end of the cable towards the blue arrow or the red to lower the biting point? And how...

Help for the technically disadvantaged please. Driving last night for about 30 minutes when the temperature gauge suddenly shot up into the red. Was almost home so continued on with the needle in the red. Despite a couple of minutes with the needle right down to zero, it has remained at red...

Hello. I've unlocked my driver's side door after a few days of snow. Lock was iced up. Warmed the key in hot water and got the lock to open but won't lock again. Can't even lock from the inside. Have heated the lock and used WD40 but to no avail. Any ideas?

1999 Micra inspiration, UK model, no upgrades etc, my first car, had about 2 months. I'm driving at 40mph and the car suffers total power loss, no engine braking or power steering, just the car rolling to a stop. Battery warning light comes on. Manage to pull over to the roadside behind a...

Light has gone on the left hand side of the speedo. What type of bulbs do I need to replace?

My driver's side door sags on closing. Looks like the hinge pins have worn. Is there any adjustment to hinges that would lift the door or do I need new hinges? As the passenger door is okay, could I swap the bottom hinge of the passenger door with the top hinge of the driver's door and maybe...

Hi there - Just bought 1999 Micra Inspiration, first car and I'm pretty clueless. Took me a couple of weeks to figure out where a rattling noise was coming from in the back of the car - driver's side shock absorber. I've taken a picture to show. Both nuts are tightened to correct torque...
