Oh cheers! Is that a fair price, I mean, I'm not doing you out of anything am I? But on my earlier post, what exactly is the general price for a new one?

You still got this motor Mario?

Can we have a video of her with the decat system? Another option, if you haven't painted them yet, red grills with the middle bar black... Like mine only I've done my black with blue middle bar... Glad you decided to keep it, it looks amazing!

Right, an update... I haven't done any tests or been near the car as the weather has been poop. General opinion on here seemed to be pointing more to the dizzy so thought I'd just maybe swap it out for a new one, especially as my missus just got paid & offered to buy me one... So I've already...

Car looks fantastic mate! Agree red badge & grilles would look epic!

Frank, I'll hopefully be carrying out those tests tomorrow so should have defo answer on the dizzy. Guys, is there any other tests I can carry out to rule other things out, like this engine bay fuse... Which one is it & how can I test it? Relating to my earlier post, does the ignition switch...

Frank, it just isn't starting at all, regardless of temp. I thought it was possibly due to damp or moisture perhaps? JK, yes, the engine is trying to start & turnover but just not sparking. My key still has the red chip... Reg, the fuel pump is still kicking in when the keys in. Which...

She's not coil pack... & No signs or symptoms leading up to it. Literally worked perfectly one day, then dead the next...

I have a multi meter... That'll work, right? I'll have to see if I can get some time over the weekend to have a fiddle... Just choka at the mo with work & the house etc... If it rolls on past payday, which never comes quick enough, I'll bite the bullet & buy a new dizzy... Seems that that is the...

I don't know anyone else with a micra & didn't really fancy paying £25+ for a scrap one that, lets face it, could be a dud before it even goes on the car? Problem is I'm also like quite far from any scrapers & my missus has her car all day so I'm kinda house bound... Lucky enough I work nights...

Ah fook it for now... not even sure its the switch... Off to work now anyway... So I'm looking at Distributer £90+... Starter £90+... Switch at however much they are... Plus my windscreen is cracked so theres £70 and I've got one wiper coz the linkage is goosed so theres a bit more cash...

On the back of the barrel? I can't get it off, theres like a green rubber cover that kind of wraps around it and goes inside, imagine this is some kind of clip or something to keep it in place? I've got that out but can't get the actual plug out? Reg said something about a small screw, I can...

Right, see what you mean by 3way wire now... Any pictures of the plug I'm removing? Just took all the cowling off now... God, what a job, not looking forward to putting that back on! So if it's not the switch would the next probable be the starter? How doyou know if the dizz is a duff? And...

So I'm guessing the other ends of the wires would be twisted together?

Just been out to try that... It appears I have no spark... So are we talking a starter problem? Thanks for that Reg, had already tried the fuel pump fuse with no luck... The rest seems a bit too complicated to be faffing about with right now... I'll be off to work shortly, which means driving...

Tried the petrol, yeah... no joy :( How would I be able to be certain of a spark? As said, new plugs put in... Only thing I can think is perhaps with the extreme weather we've had here, and all the gritting, perhaps some salt and moister has gotten in somewhere and caused trouble?

Nothing out of the ordinary as far as I've noticed... Just the usual lights you'd expect before the engine fires up...

How are things going?

Made up this is still going!

Hey guys, been away for a while but I'm back and urgently needing help! The Micra wont start at all and I don't know what to do? She was fine all through the snow and all the bad rain but for nearly 2 weeks now she has refused to kick into life. Litterally parked it up when I came home from...
