Hello everyone,
This is Hakim. I am learning how to drive. I don't know much about cars. I bought a corsa which was stolen and now I have an R reg 1.3 GX micra.
Couple of weeks/months back I was searching for fixing remote/fob and cam across this site. I was amazed how a beautifull sight this is. In fact this site made me think twice about my car. Initially I got the car just to learn driving and get rid of it. Since visiting this site, I am quite sort of attached to the car. It has 121k on the clock and starts first time. Everything is okay apart from a hessing noise which I don't know which part it belongs to. The only thing that I am sure of is it is from the engine area.
I came from Birmingham(some one was driving it) doing 70 on the motorway 3 monts ago.
I wanted to go on a motorway again, but was not sure if the car is safe or not?
A friend who has a garage told me that since it has 121k on the clock it might need a timing belt replacing. I don't know if it does or not. I was searching the life expectincy of timing belt on micra and notice that some models has a timing instead of timing belt. To be hones I don't the difference.
Can some one please educate me in that regard and advise me if it is safe to take the car on motorway?
Regards
Hakim
