    Trim for a Micra C+C. Where?

    Ebay breakers. Not a chance you'll find new so part number is useless. Do you mean door trim as in inside or window scraper as in black rubber bit on outside. The later, they all bubble I'm afraid, goodnluck finding one that hasn't.

    Engine and coolant temperature

    Why? I mean, yer do it, no reason not to, but nothing in the first post suggests there's an issue. A coolant flush and swap won't do any harm though if it hasn't been done for a while.

    Engine and coolant temperature

    103 to 110 is normal for most cars. It's a pressurised system meaning the water can go above normal boiling point.

    Disable parking sensor on k12

    Nissan didn't fit parking sensors factory. So they are aftermarket and quite probably picking up power from another circuit, most likely reverse lights assuming you only have rear sensors, look behind the lining in the boot for the control box and pull the power there.

    micra cc third brake light- Hi I have been trying hard but so far no success to locate a third brake light- can anyone help - thanks.

    search in ebay for micra cc breaking. ring the seller and ask for a price for one removed and posted. other option is to pull out what is there and repair it with new LEDs assuming it's just got segments out rather than it being smashed.

    repair costs!!

    How do you think I know the rates at a stealer? Unfortunately my tools cost me considerable more than 300 quid over the years and on cars upto about 2009 I agree completely in the .most part. An obd11 scanner is now a must though.

    Bad mpg on my k12 Micra, advice needed please?

    35 mpg, which engine, because that's shocking. Bring your service forward, do as Paul above says for potential drive train issues but don't rule out plugs, oil, etc. Also what's it sit at when doing 70, might be worth checking clutch. I'm no hyper Miler, but for comparison, today's run up...

    Starter motor issue?

    Hit it with a hammer. It's the solenoid that's seized, a new one is the best fix but they can be serviced if you are feeling brave.
