Hi all, car is doing well... however from time to time it feels as if the engine cuts out or misses, it's like a cough but, at the same time i can hear a relay clicking near the fusebox (inside). I would say it happens more when it's cold (engine cold), not notices much when it's damp/wet as...

Hi all, is it me or does my car run better on superunleaded compared to regular unleaded... what makes a car run better on unleaded... timing adjustments? i put mine forward a bit ages ago to make it better due to the crapy throttle body (it worked for me). but does the micra run better...

Hi all, I stuffed the car in the garage today to start the clutch job, having never done one before (on any car) and lack of space (the amount of crap my dad has in the garage) it's taken me a few hours just to do the first parts... battery and tray out, air duct out, starter out, cable off...

Hi all, hope xmas was good for u guys, bring on the new year!... u know with these noisy timing chains, as many of you have them i've been reading what you all do about it etc. am i sensible in deciding not to bother with it and if it goes snap, to just replace the head (engine at worse)...

Hello, So which one is fastest? My work mate does local rallies and stuff and likes the micra, he's been in a 1.0i 3 door as a navigator a couple of times and likes the car. I think he said he will hire one for a rally sometime. He took a workmate to a rally recently, and he wants a micra...

Hi all, It's now time to do the clutch on my 1.3. I reckon a clutch kit can be had for £30? Been reading blueprint or luk ones will do. So is it worth me doing the job myself, never done one before, but it shouldn't be hard really no? I'm all open to big jobs if i am prepared...

Hi guys, You may have recently read that my car is heavy on fuel. I (or my cousin) had a look at the timing and adjusted it as per haynes manual. It seems better, it pulls better, and idles higher. But it's still heavy on fuel. Does timing affect fuel consumption as such? Also the haynes...

Wow, the brakes on the Micra's are really good!! I know my old car needed the brakes bled, but the brakes on my new micra rival the ones on my old Xantia (which have hydraulic brakes).

Hi, My new car 1995 1.3LX 5 door is in my opinion very heavy on fuel. It took about £15 to do 116 miles (mostly motorway). But since then I pumped the tyres up, they were quite low (17, 20, 25, 28). Since then, I pumped them up. But I am still concerned that I whenever I look at the fuel...

Hi all (i did do a search, no answers came up), I'm just wondering how Nissan did the wiring on the K11 Micra's. For example, mine is an LX so you gotta do everything mechanically; I'm wondering if Nissan put the wiring for ancillaries that weren't on the car originally. I.E, Can I fit...

Hi all, After much searching for a micra i've finally found one, not quite what I hoped for but it's ok. I was looking for a later (98>) one but didn't quite find one for the price of 800 (time was running out to get a replacement for my zx anyway). So we went for a metallic blue 5 door...

It's for £795 off ebay, a facelift 1998 blue one in London (Chingford). This one will be a gamble. It very far though (212 miles), and I can't go see it until Saturday, so it might go! And I was hoping to get some money for my heap privately, but I don't think it would be too much hassle to...

Hi all, What is the standard tyre size for a 1.3 1998 micra, and how many studs does the wheel have... finally, what wheels/tyres combo do most people change to? Thanks

Hi all, I'm new here, I have yet to buy a 1.3 myself, but my sister has a 1995 1.0 Micra, and it slows down to 35-40mph going up hills ( has to drop from 5th to 3rd gear). I know a 1.0 engine is small, but the car is small and it should do hills faster than 40mph in 3rd gear right. Now I...

Hi, I'm new to this forum, and I'm after a Micra. I'm just wondering what the Super S is about, is it's drivetrain or suspension specification different to a normal 1.3 GX, or Si for instance? Thats all for now thanks. Deian

Hi guys and gals, I'm new here, I'm in the market for a micra for the purpose of cheap motoring the fun way. At the moment I drive a '92 Cit ZX 1.9td, which is not getting cheaper to run with todays diesel prices. I prefer a petrol engine anyway. So to save running costs, I wanted a petrol...
