Hi, Im Lee, im 29, married with twin boys who are 4 in June and live in Belper, Derbyshire. Im the proud, new owner of a Micra K10 LS 1.0 1990.
Im really happy with the car, she looks awesome, very shiny red and the previous owner did a grand job of painting the silver wheels black. She in great condition for 21 years old and only done 79'000miles...£300. Bargain, i think, i hope.
My question is, and im sure youv had it a million times before so im sorry in advance...
The car seems to start and run great. there is a quite rattle/whine that goes away when the clutch is pressed, it not ever so loud, in fact, can only hear it when the radio is off and windows are shut but like I say, listen out and its there till you press the clutch, then it goes. Also, the gearbox seems to have a slight whine when driving. I kinda just think these noises are normal being a very old car. I can say since Iv gave the car a good run the idle wind has quitened but is still there, just.
Im not a two week wonder, Im here to stay, i like the reading on this forum and you all seem like great guys and im planning on keeping this car for as many years as it will serve me (Its a 2nd car, wife has main car).
I will be stumping up membership fees next week when im better off.
thanks again, Lee.
