I would start from the latch and work backwards, firstly checking the wiring/ connectors, the wiring that feeds the rear hatch electrics is prone to wiring breaks near the area that comes out of the main body of the car through the rubber boot and into the rear hatch, which can cause connection/...

I use industrial suppliers for the wishbone nuts as they need replacing when removed, if you need the bolts as well measure the length of the bolt not including the head and use ebay to source https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114307049445?var=414558276992

I have converted mine recently, and covered this in an earlier section, I would recommend contacting breakers yard and make an offer on a CD radio if they will also supply the airvent as a whole unit and fit this unit. Seems the parts are getting rarer now but have found a cd radio similar to...

As these little gems are getting on in years, small garages are there to make as much profit as they can from unsuspecting clients, as sixxgunner80 has found out so be very careful before commiting to shelling out lots of ££££££s, and check out the forum first!:unsure:

I did a lot of searching with regards to upgrading the Micra into the modern age once my multi change cd player started plying up, and found a 2 din radio to experiment with, The main vent unit is slightly narrower than a modern 2 din unit , however there is enough room to re machine the sides...

Try ebay, I have just changed mine to a JVC unit and did not bother with steering wheel controls, yes you can get a kit but its your choice, thestandard pioneer ISO harness will clip into the two ISO connectors from the old radio with the other socket used to connect to steering wheel controls...

My micra is diesel, however I also have petrol suzuki's 4x4 and when the fuel was altered to E10 at the pumps, for every gallon of petrol (4.55 litres) you only get 90% petrol with 10% ethanol mixed, this brought my economy down, this problem can be mimimes by either buying the E5 super unleaded...

I serviced mine last year, and my suzuki is now same, problem with winter it find all the weaknesses in the car, If problem goes away once engine is warmed through, best to get a replacement as delaying can destroy the toothed fly wheel if it is the dog wheel or solenoid that is sticking as the...

There is a common problem with the K12 power steering, however this is mainly pre 2006 models. there is a wealth of knowledge on the subject if you type "ps" in the search box and I am sure you will pick up some good advice from these previous answers.:unsure:

If you are not able to wash the car by hand yourself, I would look for a hand car wash, where you are in control when they clean it, rather than a machine cycle that can go wrong, I had a bad experience in a car some years ago and wing mirrors got ripped off so I stay clear of them now and my...

Have a look at the oil filter sometimes there is manufacturing issues with odd batches clogging, for what they cost to replace it's a problem less in narrowing down the issue.;)

I am looking at kenwood and JVC/Sony to replace mine shortly, but my choice will depend on which wiring harness adaptor I can source to couple the unit up easiest.:unsure:

With such low mileage over the years, I would take care to not to overstress the engine at first, and would use a petrol additive to clean out the fuel system and engine/injectors, also a few oil changes close together will help. :) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303924111753

I use a variable speed Andle Grinder with a high speed knotted wire brush wheel fitted to remove any unused or excess filler, you will need a mask and goggles for protection, If it is not causing any problems then put some steel Auto paint to cover over the filler.:unsure:

Try checking all the fuses, and have the ECU inspected, but the main point I will advice is to get a battery solar trickle charger put in the dashboard for periods of inactivity, I made my own but you can get them from Halfords or e-bay I recommend at least 10-15 Watts as there is a 30%...

I would recommend cleaning up gently and drying the area with an Hair dryer before putting some rubberised underseal paint on the effected areas, I have used this for years and helps to dampen down drumming inside the car and stops the water from creeping into the car through the seams...

I hope you have sorted the problem, however it sounds like the stork controls on the steering shaft to me, with it been in storage it may need looking at. :oops:

No problem, we are all here to help keep the little gems on the road.:)

You will need to check ALL the earth straps on the loom that are bolted to the chassis, that is a typical sign.
