    Front wipers wont turn off!

    Not read this anywhere but from experience with other cars it's usually a relay or the auto park on the motor. Perhaps it was a 2nd hand one fitted and that's failed too? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    In need of advice

    Wet electric blankets. Never good! Love those wheel trims. There was some one on here that recovered the head lining and door trims using comic strip design material from a duvet cover and looked well smart! It's in one of the blogs but can't remember where [emoji53] With insurance the thing...

    To copper slip or not?

    for brakes I'd use brake grease rather than copperslip - after all its what its made for. Not changed the micra pads but use it on the BM. Some pads (Pagid) pads squealed like mad but others (Textar for example) are fine. This stuff...

    Just how hard is it to replace the heater matrix in a K11?

    Lube the cables while you're in there too, you'll be surprised at how much difference it makes to the controls Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    what did you do to your micra today ?

    There are three electrical connectors to the throttle body. All of mine were clean with no corrosion so I didn't clean them. It's a 1999 model and iirc the MAF on later ones may be different. Forgot to add-you say its a new MAF but was it OE or aftermarket? Read a lot about aftermarket ones...

    what did you do to your micra today ?

    Not technically done today but recently I'd noticed a bit of hesitation, almost kangaroo style but not that bad, when on a light throttle at about 20-25mpg in 3rd, not really noticeable in other gears but it happens all the time on a flat road in town near were we live that's a 20 limit and...

    Rattle from exhaust

    ECP have the centre section for £11.99 but has no silencer in it, or £15.99 again with no silencer not sure why there isn't one in the pipe? perhaps its quiet enough anyway. for the price of a few beers I reckon it would be worth doing :)

    Rattle from exhaust

    can say at what revs (no rev counter - still looking for the right dash to change this but never see any for sale!) but certainly at idle there is a bit, and pulling away I notice it if the window is open. other than that it's not annoying enough to do anything; perhaps I will one day now I...

    Micra wont start when damp

    Could be the starter motor but if turns over but doesn't star in the damp perhaps the leads or distributor cap need replacing - damp can cause the spark to earth out rather then reaching the plugs if the leads are shot. I'd check all teh eletrical circuit but if all ok then perhaps new/2nd hand...

    insurance nissan micra

    See if you can put an older driver as a named driver - sometimes it will bring the premium down a bit even if they never drive it!

    [K11] Clock DashBoard

    you'll still be able to read the clock in day light even without the bulb so it its not visible there might be something else at fault. Might only illuminates then the side or main lights are on.... Failing that just check all the bulbs until you fins any that don't work :)

    Dash light dimmer (not headlight aim switch)

    Hi, I know some K11's have a dimmer for the dash lights but can never find one listed on the Bay of E's so my question is does anyone know the if it's the same as other Nissan models of a similar age, and/or what the resistance of the dimmer is? Failing that does any one have a spare one...

    what did you do to your micra today ?

    Mine spend around 9 months sitting under trees and there is horrid green moss/algae stuff right in the badges and any crease/seem so gave the whole thing a good clean up and wash and wax and I have to say she looks pretty good for the money/mileage [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
