Congrats on your purchase. I have been tinkering with a 1.0 litre Micra for a couple of years now. Went to change the tires for winter and the tire guys pointed out an oil leak. It was the distributor O ring. I understand it is not unusual for this to happen on the resilient little engine...

Oh, no! I got to the supermarket and the car malfunctioned. Failed to start. Never does this. I always turn the key over until the dash lights up like a Christmas tree. I let it do that for about 10 seconds, MAX. I read somewhere you can do this to let the fuel pump charge. I then clicked...
