thanks, just need to hold my nerves together should hopefully be ok.

Thanks all for the input, I am simply trying to keep the car in good nick, that's why I was asking about the maintenance, sills and other things. This car has to run for a minimum of 5 years and as such, I know I need to keep on top of these things or let it run into the ground. Which isn't an...

As said I drive it regular, have it on learners insurance and friend of family comes out often 3 times a week. Got an instructor too I am test ready and booked in for 27th March (was earliest available). GF= girlfriend where I come from and not had one of those for a good few years. (Happily...

Just had an MOT on 18th of this month, passed with advisories on inner and outer sills and a tyre (tyre replaced). Taxed on a monthly D/D basis and insured fully comp on learners insurance. As for the history, the vehicle was given to me, as the previous owner (who's family had it from new) now...

Thanks again for your replies NB. I always thought bosch were good, but thanks for the heads up. Will keep away from them! That kit looks like it's got everything and a good price. will bag one of those next week.

Brilliant! Sounding good. Does the Haynes also suggest which Spark remover tool you need etc? As I don't have anything more than a couple of screwdrivers!

2002 16V 1.0 Nissan Micra Best oil brand and type please?

I must admit, when I become interested in something I do a lot of reading, watch youtube videos, general research etc. I guess this will be no different. Would love in a year be confident changing my own filters, sparks oil, etc.

Oh, OK I had no idea, the different oils had different uses. I just thought the oil for the car had to be the "correct one". Well never mind I bought the Haynes manual now lol. Cheers for clarification on the sills.

Brilliant. Thanks for that. Will check that out. (for me this usually means I will buy it.) :p

HI NissanBoy, thanks for reply. I thought Micra 02 plate K11 was 5-30s fully synthetic? as a pose to 10-40? That's what my manual says. (Not sure what garage used on service). No it has no sunroof. Outer sills if those are the door ones you can see, look and feel sine. I think the issue is...

Just an aside from my main Micra advice post, I am looking for anyone who knows how much (approx) to repair. The issue is the digital readout (Parts of numbers missing)only fully shows after it's been run for about an hour, then after it's parked up it distorts again. Thanks in advance!

Wow!! Great in depth response, many thanks!!! It's a K11 2002 Activ, I believe it's the second face-lift but tbh not sure. It's just passed an MOT with only an advisory on sills "getting weak" I will have to look on the MOT report to see if it states which part of the sills, and an advisory on...

Hi all, glad I found this forum. I have always rated Micras as a good car that runs forever. I have just been lucky enough to have been given the car in the pic. It's an 02 plate Micra Activ, just over 25200 it was on 24897 when I got her last month. (Jan2019). Just any general advice on how...
