If the engine turns over when you try to start it, then you probably don't need a battery.
Micras flood if you start them and switch off before they have warmed up - 5 mins or so.
To restart a flooded Micra, turn the engine over with your foot flat to the floor.
I paid about £50 for a new battery from my local car shop.
Halfords aren't the cheapest

There's a better way
Remove the fuel pump fuse and turn the engine over for 30 seconds or so, this will clear any fuel out of the cylinders.
Then put the fuel pump fuse back in and it should fire up first time.

I have used that method too. It is still difficult to start though, due to wet plugs I guess?
No need to find a pair of pliers to pull the fuse with the foot to the floor method. I have fat fingers:grinning:

Most K11's come with a little fuse puller clipped inside the fuse box, get one from a scrappy if not
