Got a fault code 11 which is crank angle sensor fault. Distributor is only 6 months old, still under warranty. Received an e-mail from the supplier who offered me 2 ways to rectify the fault. Either I send the distributor back and they will change the crank angle sensor, or they will send me out...

posted wrong forum, sorry

Had the car half a year and I'll be on my third distributor. Must be something going on! This one was swapped over but timing was not redone but as you suggest shouldn't give a fault code. Light was on for a fraction of second and off again. Pretty annoying, cause when my micra gets moving...

This is post becoming a blog as I'm the only one posting, lol. Got the fan going finally. Took the car out for a run. About an hour in I stopped, left engine idling for about 20 minutes, didn't cut out. But wouldn't restart. When I got the engine to start again a few minutes later I got the...

Just saw my old post here and thought I should mention that the fault was def with the coolant temp sensor and the gauge was back to normal with the new part fitted.

I'm in the UK. Where can I buy a new engine temperature sensor? I've already replaced the coolant temp sensor in the past but can't find this part.

I marked an x on the top blade of the fan months ago. It's still sitting at the top. The fan never kicks in. Does the ECU use the info from the coolant temp sensor to start the fan or is there another fan sensor somewhere?

Connected the fan straight to the battery and it was working, so the fan is okay. It never spins when it's connected normally though.

Stuck a paperclip in the diagnostic connector and got 55 - no fault code stored. So, went out for a test drive with my mate following in his car. Seemed okay for about an hour. Parked and left the engine running to if it would cut out. It did after ten minutes idling. Was then unable to...

Thanks for the replies. Had a brand new distributor fitted 6 months ago but knowing my luck it'll have gone wrong. Is there anything I can check before taking it to a garage?

1999 K11. I'm driving on the motorway in rush hour, which is basically gridlocked and there's a lot of stop/starting. I'm maybe doing 12mph in second gear when the engine completely stops, as if it stalled. Cannot get the car to start again. So have to wait for breakdown van and police to...

Howdy! 1999 K11, bought a few months ago. Rear demister has never worked. Rear wiper has stopped working. I've just bought a multimeter am wondering how to proceed. Okay, the rear demister has never worked, but the switch on the dash lights up and I've replaced the fuse in the fusebox...

Thanks for the reply, asdame. Did as you suggested and the biting point is now just under half-way. Strange thing is that the clutch pedal now has less resitance than it did before, which I hope is a good thing! Before was quite stiff. Come to think of it, my accelerator pedal needs...

The biting point on my micra has been high since I bought it and I thought I'd attempt to lower it towards the middle of the pedal travel. Have a picture here of the clutch cable. Now should I thread the end of the cable towards the blue arrow or the red to lower the biting point? And how...

Thanks for the replies and the pic. It helped! Finally got what I hope was the coolant sender unplugged. It did have a thicker wire though, but hopefully I got it right. Tried ignition and sure enough, needle straight down to zero, which according to Haynes means the sender is faulty. Being...

Hi there. When you said inaccessable, you weren't kidding. Here's what the Haynes manual says about the coolant sensor in the picture. If I can disconnect the wire to the sender and switch the ignition on - if the dial drops to the cold end of the scale the sender unit is proved faulty...

Thanks for the replies. If my mate agrees will try swapping the sensors. Is coolant going to spill out when I try to remove these?

Swapped the instrument panel from my mate's micra and the temp gauge shot into the red so it's not a faulty gauge. With regard to the heater, the temp gauge is in the red but the air is coming through cool. Takes about 5 minutes (as it usually does) before the warm air comes through.

Ran the engine for ten minutes today. Dial shot up into the red as before. Fan still didn't kick in. Had a check in the engine straight after. Radiator - cold to the touch. Radiator cap - cold to the touch. Hose number 1 at the back of the radiator - cold. Hose number 2 under the...
