I have an issue with my 2002 K11 base model with no sunroof, it is leaking rain water into the passenger foot well. I have seen about the plastic clips that holds the wiper panel on and I have used silicone to replace the well worm out rubber seals but still leaks. I have used gaffa tape down...

Thanks for this, I will take the damn thing off it will sound a whole lot better without it. Cheers

I can't bring myself to scarp my old Micra, every time I go in my garage it looks up at me with its puppy dogs eyes and I fall for it again hahahhahaha. To return to my original question: Can I take my exhaust heat shields off? Will taking them off cause any issues? Nissan must have out them...

Since asking this earlier while preparing to work on my Micra today i discovered a leaking rear shock, this is the straw that breaks the camels back and it will be making its way to the great highway in heaven soon. Sad but there are limits and it has now passed them. Just have to buy another...

My exhaust heat shields rattle quite a lot. Do I need them? Can I take them all off?

What would be the symptoms of Sway bar bushes or Lower ball joint worn?

Now its summer and I have the windows open I noticed my old girl is squeaking. It seems to be coming from the front near side wheel and doesn’t stop if I switch the engine off. It sounds like the noise hot rubber makes when it rubs against other rubber. It had new wheel bearings last summer so...

I have been looking at accident/restoration repair shops and there is one that looks that part but as yet I have not found anyone who knows anything about them. The only ones i have been told about so far are general garages and not what I want, I think these need the specialist touch.

The car is ultra low mileage and even at 15yrs far better than anything else I have seen here in Ireland for sale. Yes it will cost a lot to fix her rust but once done properly she should be right for an another three years at least so I think worth it. Besides I do not have the time or will to...

The cowboy who did the last time was supposed to have cut all the rust out, treated it and then plated it over. Instead all he did was plate over rust. I have been asking around to get some feedback on any local ish body repair shops but so far nothing that makes me want to use them. I will...

Hi all I am in County Wexford Ireland. Can anyone recommend a top notch bodywork repair specialist in this area? I was the victim of a cowboy last year and this time I want my rust repair done properly once and for all. It needs the drivers sill replacing and part of the inner sill I would...

As to if this car can have a remote fob I do not know, if it was me I would take the VIN to a main dealer and see if they can look it up. As for buying genuine Nissan keys and fobs I have done both off ebay. I bought my key without the transponder though I could have had one with it, brand new...

After a recent drive in the fog and able to see my headlights are very good at stargazing I need to adjust them. I consulted the haynes manual and as expected a waste of time. It’s been a while since I did a headlight alignment and back then I had a graph so I could mark out a suitable wall...

I am loathed to let anyone touch my steering, I am lucky to have steering that if you let go on a good road will stay straight, the steering wheel is straight to. I have wear on both outer edges of the front tyres, not bad like a tracking wear just the outsides are .5 mm lower than the center. I...

Thanks all, I have pumped them up to 35psi at the moment but I think I may add a little more. The rears seem fine and wearing even its just the fronts. Cheers :-)

I just did a tyre depth check and it seems my fronts are running under inflated despite I keep them at the recommended 33psi. Any one else had this issue and found the right psi for the fronts on a 1.3?

Thats and interesting thought I had not considered that, I will look into it, thanks.

No issues with the speedo going wild and can be at any low speed just before change gear, in third most common, sounds a light rattle. Just wish it would do it at idle so i could track the little bugger :-)

This was the first thing I thought, I took it to the garage and they ramped it. Revved it, banged it, shook it and examined the heat shield on the cat, all were silent. From the best I can make out with the window open it seems the rattles comes from the front.

Yeah mine does too and quite a few heat shields near there but all have been shook and banged etc and none seem loose.
