<best make a brew for this and grab a couple of hob nobs.... I have rambled on a bit 🤣> As you may have spotted in another thread, in a few days, we will no longer own our K13 Micra which we have owned for 11 years, and will be the first time since I started driving many (many!) years ago that...

Just to start a thread on this. Our DIG-S Micra has occasionally stalled on me for no apparent reason in the past with the clutch fully disengaged such as waiting at junctions. It was always random, out of the blue and would me many months between stalls. I just put it down to bad luck/bad...

Well, in less than 12 months/5000 miles, the rear silencer on our DIG-S has failed again. In this case, it seems like the weld has let go rather than the pipe snapping off (the pipe extends into the back box and appears fine). Going to see what the garage says as its less than 12 months and...

Last few weeks I have noticed that the drivers door does not unlock/open after sitting over night with freezing temps either using the external or internal handle. All 3 other doors are fine and open no problem, just the drivers side. Using the key makes no difference. I have applied white...

Its coming to that time of year again for me where I start to scratch around and start collecting service items for the end of next month for our DIG-S Micra... I thought I would document them hear for others... as well as my own memory! I will continue to update this post as my research...

Amongst the many things that I have on my list 'to do', one of them is to fix the slop in the gearstick side to side. Whilst I have not inspected the linkage yet, I highly suspect the bushing on the gear selector cables have worn on one or both cable selectors.... here was me thinking - this...

Hi, Whilst driving the car today, I noticed that the HVAC system was not putting out as much heat as I would have expected. Thankfully I ruled out quickly the coolant system being the issue and narrowed my search down to the control cable that links the heat control knob to the air mix door...

Long story short: If you get your belts done due to any noise, have the mechanic check the main serpentine and supercharger tensioner 2 and 4 in the image below), rather than just doing the belts! It seems both are Nissan only parts and hellishly expensive to replace...

This workshop manual seems to be complete with following engines: 1.2 Petrol HR12DE 1.5 Petrol HR15DE 1.2 Petrol HR12DDR (DIG-S) 1.5 Diesel K9K https://www.workshopservicemanual.com/m0072158-nissan-micra-k13-2010-2017.html Cant believe its taken this long to find a complete manual! If it...

I have searched high and low for a service manual that contains the HR12DDR (DIG-S) engine, but cant find one anywhere! I am giving the wife's car a good old service at the end of the money and looking at doing the coolant as I cant remember when it was last done! I would like to know if there...

The battery in my 2012 DIG-S Micra is starting to give up. Lasted a while and been showing signs for a while (throwing error codes if the battery is a little low on engine crank). I have just about got over the cost of the battery, however I am reading that some cars need replacment batteries...

Some nice person has wiped out the drivers side door mirror on our K13. Got the replacment but I need to swap around the coloured covers. After about 30 minutes, I gave up! Anybody any ideas?

So, here we go again, another Micra, another suspension problem/annoyance. My wife's DIG-S 2012 Micra now has a, what I can only describe as a rattle rather than a clunk when she loads both sides of the suspension at the same time. I took it for a quick blast this evening and tested it. On a...

Anybody else receive a letter recalling their Micra due to a software fault? Mine is a DIG-S (2012), and its reported in the letter that a problem has been detected, under certain start conditions and driving over 3600rpm, incorrect adjustment of the throttle by the ECM results in unexpected...

My N16 Almera has suffered front speaker failure due to water ingress rusting the coil solid! I am not after upgrading really so standard replacements would be perfect! Anybody have any lying around after an upgrade that they want rid of? Model: 28156-av700 / 40w 4ohm These can be found...

Seems as though Nissan decided to really scrimp in some of its K13's! Its the first car in a LONG time we have owned not to have height adjustment on the seatbelt, so I thought maybe the seat itself was height adjusted. Drivers side is, but passenger side is fixed height. This is causing a...

Today I explored the Micra's HR12DDR engine a bit more. My aim was to see how I could access: 1. Air filter 2. Coil packs/spark plugs As the engine bay is compact it’s a bit fiddly and Nissan seem to have gone with a odd design compared to in the past which made it a bit quirky when putting it...

Well what can I say - I love this little car - there are a few little things here and there that I think "why did Nissan do it like this" but overall, I am quite impressed! Myself and my wife are expecting our first child in June, and our existing K11 was showing signs of getting on a bit...

Hi all, I am looking at replacing our K11 with a K13. K11 although has been a good work horse, I dont think has much left in it before it starts to cost us a small fortune, and with the wife being preggers! Anyway - we have been looking at the DIG-S, fits my requirment for something pokey and...

Hi all, Wondering if anybody can point me in the direction of a suspected suspension/steering issue that I have so far been unsucsessful in tracking down. My Micra (K11/2003/1.0) makes a "medium pitch" clonk noise when going over bumps on either side. It seems to do it more on cornering...
