Hi
I bought this Micra Colette in Feb 09 and had no trouble until about a three weeks before Christmas.
The car suddenly started missing, intermittently. This became progressively worse so we decided to replace all the electrics.
Coil
Condenser
Rotor arm
Points
Plugs
HT leads
Distributor cap
This was done in stages to see what was causing the problem. Eventually we replaced the condenser again and for awhile this seemed to work, although there was still some minor and sporadic missing.
Now it's gone back to being really bad resulting in us having to be recovered by breakdown service.
Decided the fault must still be a condenser problem and am awaiting a new Nissan one. The other two were off the shelf at an auto place and not Nissan.
But would like to know if these things have a shelf life, or/and what is causing the condenser to fail?
Or perhaps someone has a hunch this is something entirely different.
The car is an 87 K10 Micra Colette.
Regards.
