Sorry, bit a hiatus there while I suffered from a nasty bout of man-flu. Yes it is definitely sparking.

Now yhat's better - sort of. It gives me a 55 code which is 'no fault found'. So what else can I check? I do feel the old girl is inching closer to the scrapyard.....

Hi Wallie, thanks for your support. I've never changed the leads but given the symptoms it seems an unlikely suspect. I had a look at the dizzy cap and cleaned up the terminals but couldn't see anything wrong with it (no cracks or physical damage) what else should I be looking for? How do I...

Ah! That'll be the one. You're right it's upside down. I'll have another go when I get home.Thanks.

Yes, I suspected a fuel blockage when it broke down and suggested it to the nice man from the RAC who was kind enough to humour me and disconnect/bypass the fuel filter but obviously it didn't help. I'll test the fuel pump function later although, as I mentioned earlier the plugs are getting...

Yes, I thought about that but it makes no difference. I also disconnected the oxygen sensor but no joy. I'm guessing there's no diagnostic equipment fitted to an N reg micra?

Yes - that old chestnut. I've been through all the old posts but I can't find an answer to my problem. We have a 1995/6 1.0L Micra and the old girl won't start. We have had the car for about three years and it had a bit of an issue with a misfire at high revs when we fist bought it but this...
