    Leaking rain water

    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...

    Squeaking

    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...

    Headlight Alignment

    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...

    Tyre Pressures

    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?

    Annoying Rattle

    I have a rattle that sounds like a heat shield but despite being up on the lift in the grange twice and being revved, shaken and banged there wasn’t a squeak, then drive away and it rattles. It doesn’t do it at idle only when the revs just coming to change gear point, then rattles and stops...

    Sunroof

    For some reason my sunroof will only tilt now not slide, it seems to hit something. It was fine until one day I opened it and changed my mind from slide to tilt quickly and never slid since. Anyone had similar problem and know a fix?

    Jacking points

    I have never worked out where the jacking points are on my 98 Micra, the manual says under the sills and with a little diagram but when I check the car it doesn’t look strong enough to hold anything. Where exactly are the jacking points and best place for axles stands? Pictures would be great

    Oil filter change

    Am I missing an easy technique to changing the oil filter on a K11 or is it in a awkward place? From what I see I would have to put the car on the car ramps, crawl underneath and put my hand past the hot exhaust and grapple with the oil filter removal tool to get it off. Then try and not get...

I have an issue with the front wipers though, the flick wipe does not park when released, the intermittent tries to work but stops half way, the washers squirt and then wipes but doesn’t park...
