    Is a better air filter worth it?

    I have always ran with K&N filters on my stock 1.3 Micra's, just install once and that it. The 1.0's are pretty gutless, so changing the filter (unless you go induction), probably won't give you much more power!

    K11 can they take E10 petrol?

    I have used 2 tanks of E10 in the recent crisis and now this morning I am getting rough idle and flat spots. I managed to today to fill up with Tescos Momentum (99) today, so I'll see if this improves.

    K11 can they take E10 petrol?

    Had to use E10 in the current crisis, seems to be be OK so far, tho I suppose it's the long term aggregate effect, of E10, if used regularly? Sent from my VOG-L09 using Tapatalk

    K11 can they take E10 petrol?

    The issue I have with mine is that it only just passed the 46k mark on mileage, I am hoping for many more years left of ownership, I don't want to extinguish, that early over the risk of say £150 a year!

    K11 Armrest Console

    OK, I thought maybe the case with yahoo auctions. Front consule K11 cup holders, the holy grail of the micra k11!

    K11 Armrest Console

    Good find, though as you say the price is ridiculous, didn't know about about Yahoo Auctions!

    LED Bulbs or Led Light bars

    I had a similar set up on my VW campervan for dark areas, though you have to ensure they fused/ wired via a relay depending upon the LED wattage, a strong switch maybe be able to handle the wattage on it's own, though often best to have a relay for extra safety.

    Buying a k11

    A few decent ones still out there depending on if you want manual or CVT, the latter IMHO harder to find in the low mileage, coilpack or prefacelift? I have seen some lower mileage ones on ebay and autotrader in the last few months.

    New Throttle Body

    Ok I have heard of Motortronic, though I thought they were in West London? I am not sure what the difference is on the manual and auto TB's, but they are listed as different, as remember that when hunted around for my old TB 2nd hand. Hope the setting of the timing proves fruitful.

    Hi Does anyone know the capacity, I can't find it on the web. Yes, I know I can dilute mix a container and just fill it up, but just wanted to know for reference! Thanks

    New Throttle Body

    Hi Steve Sounds like a right ordeal, these vehicles are sent to try us! Not that I can offer any tech advice to this thread, but if you have the old orignal throttle body off re-soldering is easy, a bit more difficult in situ and maybe clean the MAF sensor inside as well? In my old (preface...

    K11 can they take E10 petrol?

    I wrote to Nissan UK about it, I got a reply back saying vehicles after 2000 are ok to run on E10, though I did mention in my email that the engine in the K11 from 1994 - 2002 barring coilpacks is virtually the same. It's like Nissan don't really want to commit on the subject!

    Car cover for K11

    I got a car cover (S Size) from Amazon £40 for my K11, it was getting covered in sap from the overhead lime trees. It's a good fit, kinda snug, though I haven't discovered what it's like in high winds, though you get ties downs and buckles, which I haven't utilized yet...

    Difference between Micra S and Micra Vibe

    Sadly, all insurances have gone up, it's all done on probability, the vibe probably involved in more accidents than a S! I recently changed from a Preface lift LX to a SLX, same year, transmission, engine etc, (mid policy) for 6 months I was charged £78 more, basically the same vehicle. I...

    Cobra immobiliser

    Not yet, but can at the weekend when back, it's it's exactly as the same as the black fob (image 3) in the link without the cobra logo (probably worn off).

    Throttle body repair prefacelift (plate sealant)

    On my other back up Micra I am going to try the throttle body re-solder repair on it, as getting the throttle body symptoms, bad idle, stalling, rough running etc. When you seal up the plate, what sealant do you use. I can't remember!

    I think someone got a great bargain here with this one. 51k miles, 1.3 CVT, good condition, 2 owners from new, for £570. Had this come up last month when looking, I'd gone for this myself...
