If I'm thinking of the right sound, it may just be the belts flapping - a design flaw with the engine not a maintenance issue Does it happen more while cold than while hot? Does it have airconditioning or anything else drawing a lot of power that may put a load on the accessory belts?

I've had this happen twice, once like you described, and once late at night while driving Do some diagnosis first to figure out if you have spark/fuel and make sure it isn't a NATS issue which is a possibility since it ran for a few seconds - but it is likely to be the distributor and while you...

I've also mentioned airbags detonating (they do contain explosives) although it may have been in a different thread It's not misinformation. I have seen a video in a German recycling plant, and they have specialty curtains that come down, and then they explode each of the airbags using a...

Squeaking when cold is usually worn bushings squeaking all the time usually means you need to replace the belt, but not always.

Most of the people on those car groups are barely even old enough to drive

It's hard to tell, but it looks like it may have been flung off some of the spinning parts? Ignore the numbers but does this help you any?

If your indicator is flashing twice as fast as normal, it means that one of your indicator bulbs has gone out. Since it's back to working now, I'd imagine the issue was either a loose connection at the bulb which a decent sized pothole/speedbump has shifted back, or a rusty connection in the...

Seems to be an uncommon issue, almost all light problems people have had with the micra k11 are due to the plastic headlight connector melting - that would cause the same issue - one headlight that only comes on intermittently Is it possible that it's from the cars being stood for a while and...

what's happening over there?

shine a bright light down there if you can, it'll make it easier

This is my first time hearing that the MAF is different on dizzy vs coilpack This was an attempt to improve it on later models?

Quality of the paint is the biggest factor in how long the paint will last, Nissan in the 90's were using very good paint Other than that, get on top of small issues when you notice them, wash and wax to help keep contaminants from bonding to the surface, as well as washing mud/dirt off quickly...

You can buy full electric window kits for cheap these days, people usually buy them to retrofit into cars that came with winding windows - no need to fit a nissan one or an exact replacement Sticking halfway up means that your motor is probably worn as well as the plastic geared parts (not sure...

If the old pipe is junk now there's a chance you could grind it out of there Just cut it out roughly with an angle grinder and then once you have the old sensor surrounded by jagged metal just go at it slowly with a grinding bit trying not to touch the thread until there's not much holding it...

nothing lights a fire under your arse quite like 40 tonne lorries coming past at 60 ?

lambda sensors measure oxygen, as far as I know they're all pretty much the same thing - the only thing that differs is the length of the sensor and the thread (but I could be wrong on this) Could it be that your catalytic converter is broken? If it has been running rich for a while there is a...

connect it and then tape the sh*t out of it

when changing a single wheel I have always used the scissor jack that came with the car in one of the 4 jacking points next to the wheel You only need to get it high enough off the ground to be able to spin the lifted wheel and it isn't dangerous as long as you don't need to be under the car...

My car was also made in 1999 but is a 1.0 - I'm not sure which mine has or if it is relevant so I can't help with that I have replaced once with a nissan distributor from a scrapyard that lasted for 15,000 miles or so (5 years), and once with a brand new distributor from a non-OEM manufacturer...

great production quality on that video, I like your intro
