    Micra K12 Rear Wiper Not Working

    We had an issue with our rear wiper not working after a service, which was quite odd as they did not mention it being a problem. I checked the fuses and they were fine. For some reason I decided to disconnect the battery to try and reset it. Did the trick, but make sure you have the radio code...

    reverse light stopped working

    I had a problem like this and it was the connecting block between the light loom and the light unit. The pins were not touching, bent them over slightly to make contact and added some silicone grease. Fixed!

    changing k12 spark plugs

    All changed, didn’t realise how bad they were. Car had a slight hesitation on gear change, which is no longer there. Well worth it.

    changing k12 spark plugs

    Can anyone post me a link for the tool they used to remove the plugs, as I am having difficulty trying to get a tool that will fit? The plugs are quite deep in the head and the diameter of my sockets is too wide (for the bore of the holes by mm’s) and I can’t find anything in local motor...

    Annoying boot rattle

    We had this problem and had the seal replace on the boot hatch (like a clack clack noise over bumpy roads). If you have the rear seats on runners they can rattle.

    Micra Bumper swap

    Cant be 100% sure, but the only changes seem to be lights, grills and indicators. The new shape bumper is the same as the 160SR bumper. Have a look on google images.

    How they roll in the homeland.....

    No they must be on coilovers or air ride specifically for the micra. The rims are for the mini cooper 4x100 like a micra.

    We had some vibration issues with our 160. Rear seal on boot and exhaust manifold, which were fixed under warranty. Nearly a rattle free car :grinning:

    Increased revs when foot comes off throttle - is this normal?

    I think ours has a problem like this and it is not good for the clutch. Its somthing it has aquired over time. Is there a way of resetting the ecu / throttle body? I know on some cars you can reset some learning perameters of the ecu by removing the earth, can this be done on the micra?

    Headlight bulb replacement

    The plug can corrode slighty onto the bulb contacts making it a pain in the arse to get off.

    brake disc removal

    I cant tell you exactly which size but I purchase a set of various sizes from B&Q and there was one in there that was correct. They are not expensive. When I changed mine it was a caliper off affair, which is a bit of a pain. The discs so nearly come off with pads out.

    Alloys!

    Check your offset on this http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp Check the centre bore to make sure adaptors will fit. The adaptors are plates which fix to the hub and change the stud configureation. They will effect offset though. Look like this...

    Alloys!

    They do lots of adaptors for VWs which are 4x100 loke the micra. You just need to research the offset and hub. May need spiggot rings?

    Driver Door Stuck

    We have an intermittent fault like this on our Micra. When you open the passenger door from the outside the handle sometimes sticks in the pulled position. When you get in you think the door is closed behind you but occasionally it is not. You have to open the window or door flick the handle and...

    May be purchasing K12

    We have a SR160 on a 05 plate and has been really good. In the time we have owned it the only issues have been, rear boot seal rattle (fixed under warranty), speaker popping (fixed under warranty), clutch had gone a bit weird (seems a bit burnt out, wife's driving probably) and Multi Cd player...
