I was thinking the same. However, I after driving the car in this morning it only made the noise once (When pulling off the steep curb on my drive). I don't know what to think!

Okay, I went to the garage on Saturday and they check the car and deduced it was my shock absorbers. They said everything else seemed to be pretty solid and there was nothing else it could be. They gave me a quote of £195 to change the 2 front shocks. I was pretty stunned at the price! The car...

Thanks Agent Smith, I'll make sure to have a look later. How do I tell if it is worn? Thanks!

It could well be that. I'd imagine all the suspension components are the original. I'll get my mechanic to give it the once over. I reckon I'm going to need some welding done on the sill under the driver door too. It's beginning to go rusty :(

Thanks huntr_micra_sport! Hi frank. It's pretty random. Usually when the car jolts or when going right hand corners. For example when I turn right on the roundabout near where I live it will probably clonk about 3 or 4 times. Going in a straight line is fine but stopping at lights and setting...

Okay thanks Tony! I'm taking her to the garage on saturday to be looked at. The rubber looked okay to me but who knows! I went to the garage last week and he said about £70 for them to be replaced. I've asked him to take a look at the from springs as my last MOT put corroded springs as an...

Tried this. Didn't make much difference. I got my dad to have a go and he couldn't shape it back up either. Knocking noise is still persisting too :( Beginning to think the noise might not be the door.

Won't this bend the hinges even more?

Well I get a metal on metal clonk every so often and it sounds to be coming from the drivers door. It sometimes does not shut properly and requires to be opened and slammed a bit more. When I propped it up with the plank it just seemed to flop back down again.

I see. Probably leaving it for four hours made it worse! Do I just need to use force to yank it up and keep trying until it's stretched into shape?

This is exactly what I did and it didn't make any difference :( I don't know if it's a question of how long to leave it for.

How long should I leave it propped up? As mentioned I left if for 4 hours. Using a long plank of wood and a shorter piece of wood to spread the weight. I'm thinking about replacing the hinges but I'm too scared I'd mess it up and have to drive to work like Bond in the opening sequence of Quantum...

Hi all, Another noise has decided to manifest itself into my 1998 Equation. This time it's a clunk that often occurs when I accelerate quickly, brake quickly or turn right quickly. I'm struck between it being either my front springs (both are rather corroded), My CV joints (The service history...

Hi all, I've got a lovely Micra K11 Equation and I've noticed something about the bodywork. It dents very easily! My dad has a Zafira and the plastic on the doors is extremely hard and tapers to a point so leaves theses little dents all the way up the car. Does anyone know how to remove them...

I tried buckling the seatbelt and it persisted:( what's the inner slide cover? Is it the triangular grey plastic thing on the side of the seat?

No I don't :/

I just seem to be using this forum to try and remove rattles from inside my car! I'm posting again as this noise is still persisting and is really ruining my enjoyment of driving the car :( I have a 1998 Equation with 54,000 miles There is a clicking noise coming from the passenger seat. I...

I have also just noticed my front tires are a little flatter than the back ones. I'm going to check the PSI in a bit. I'd imagine that flatter tyres would make the interior rattle more. My drive this morning for work was not pleasant! This constant clicking in my ear and I can't seem to get rid...

Hello all! I just seem to be using this forum to try and remove rattles from inside my car! I have a 1998 Equation with 53,000 and I've noticed some new and rather irritating rattles. Most annoying is from the passenger seat. It sounds like the metal road in the headrest vibrating but I...

Just driven home from work and I'm pleased to report that all is well. The rattling has completely gone! I just hope it stays that way! Many tthanks to all! I'm going to keep the metal plate off for now as I cant really see any good purpose for it to be on.
