I totally understand the love for the Micra, its a fab car :-) I'm not a modifier or an enthusiast but I get that. My brother is really really into modifying his - but sadly its not a Micra, its a 106 (booo!) It goes like s*** off a shovel though!

At least I'm pre-armed with some useful information fom you guys now...I know it needs a new gearbox and the rough price. I walked into a garage to get my tyres done (before I knew my helpful mate could do it) and the guy there seems to get out a special blonde girl price list! Quoted me £160...

Hi Mckenziecz :-) I'm going to have a look around and see if I can find a gearbox... if not I'm going to try and sell it I think. Sadly! If anyone on the forums is interested please let me know!

Hmm, not too bad. My garage man offered my £300 - £350 for it. Sounds like I take it! Thank you for your help :-)

Hi Jenny, I am considering selling my 1996 Micra (as you can see from my thread I'm having a few problems with the gearbox) It is a 998cc 16 valve GX. 53000 miles. Tiny bit of rust that has been welded so is hardly visible. It does need a new gearbox, but has just had 4 new tyres and brake...

Over a grand...not good! The car is worth no where near that :-( Would you have any idea on value as I may sell it. Sorry for all the questions - I just have very limited knowledge on cars!

Oh dear! It does make a total racket. When I had the tyres done in June the guy who did them checked my gearbox oil and it was OK - he did say the gearbox was making a noise but that he didnt have the equipment to take it apart for me (I have a friend who is does the basics for me tyre changes...

Hi C0llis0n! Its a 1.0 :-( but thank you anyway. I'm assuming I cannot put a 1.3 gearbox in a 1.0? I've just checked - its definately a 1996 16 valve Micra GX.

Thank you for replying Frank. I'm in Oxfordshire. That doesn't sound too bad - do you think it could be repaired or do I definately need a new one?

Sorry everyone, its not a 1998, its actually a 1996. She's very old!

Hello everyone! First time poster here, need some advice please :-) Firstly, I have no mechanical expertise whatsoever so please bear that in mind! I have a problem with my Micra and I really dont want to get rid of it because I love my little car. I have a grinding, whiny noise coming...
