I was not at the garage when the code was seen sadly, he just told me the result, the number was, Bosch No 280218040 ( 0280 218 040 ) and this is what I've ordered...

Today the set from Ebay arrived, one of them was a perfect fit, the sensor came off very easily and with the part number visible I've ordered a new one from Ebay. Out of curiosity I sprayed the old sensor with carburettor cleaner, refitted it and the car runs just fine:grinning:

one of these should do it! http://www.ldemporium.co.uk/7pc-14-point-security-torx-star-bit-set-p-675.html and cheaper on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-point-SECURITY-TAMPERPROOF-TORX-STAR-SOCKET-BITS-1-4-/260688064969?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item3cb23831c9 just ordered a set!

Hi, hope someone can help with my our 2001 Micra Sport 1 lt, without warning the car became difficult to drive, it did not like low revs and I suspected some sensor fault. Our local friendly garage put it on his code reader and said it was the air flow meter, he disconnected it and the car...

my 2001 Sport (no aircon) blows hot out of the centre vents even though the handbook says cold ? I would prefer cold so I can have warm feet and a cool head!

Thanks for the welcome!, I've been polishing and touching in the stone chips in the paintwork today!

Hi we have just bought our first Micra, its a 2001 1 litre Sport in flame red with 42,000 miles on the clock. We bought it as a cheap to run small car for my wife to drive, but its so much better than that! I imagine that I'm a fair bit older than most on here (I passed my driving test in...
