I have a March 1999, T reg 1.0 Micra Inspiration but the problem is that whenever I buy parts for it, supplying the reg. no or chassis number. they often don't fit. The latest was an outer CV joint. where the driveshaft diameter was about 2mm less than the female side of the new CV joint. It also has 165/60 R14 tyres when I read that these were not introduced until the 2000 upgrades (A previous owner might have swapped them but they are only plain steel wheels so why do that?) . Another problem I have is that the car just failed an MOT partly because the exhaust hangers for the second cat were corroded off. I went today to the exhaust centre and they showed me on their system that the exhaust for my car shouldn't have hooks on the second cat and there should be no hanger in that position they told me to take the remnants of the bracket off and it would pass an MOT. The MOT station is insisting that if there are mounting points on the car the mount must be present and they have offered to repair the corroded part for £60.
Do we have any K11 version historians that might be able to explain why I am getting these problems?
Thanks in advance for any help.
