    2006 K12 Micra Steering problems (and others)

    My nan lives in Saltcoats not a million miles away... Your ecu in the pic is missing the cap and all that salt air will get in there?

    Overheating (non-cooling system related)

    Does the car have a/c and was it on?

    Micra K13 Front Brakes

    I usually put some copper grease on the ears of the caliper and on the piston end that touches the pad but I forgot this time.. Ill add it another day since it has a service due in a month or two

    Micra K13 Front Brakes

    Just had a K13 in.. Brakes on these are virtually identicle to some of the older nissan front brake single pot calipers you may have encountered although seems to be that newer Japanese cars have done away with 12mm bolts everywhere and are now 13s... Just in case anyone is curious how the...

    Suspension rebuild

    I was surprised how much of a difference it has made. The old suspension didn't seemingly have anything too wrong with it but when you consider everything had a small ammount of play or bushings that had become bound up it definitely effects the ride quality..

    Suspension rebuild

    Started putting it all back together now, two video parts. Part 1: Part 2: I just took it to get four new tyres and an alignment - it definitely drives so much better now! Much stiffer, doesn't roll in corners and doesn't squeak and creak like a dogs toy either. Definitely a success. Now...

    Starting Problem 06 Micra Automatic

    Had one come in with these exact symptoms, hot wire to the starter split in half. It had held on for a long time but intermittently not starting... there is also an ignition fuse in the fuse box in front of the battery and there are relays under the headlight which control the starter...

    CR engine weights

    Not sure how heavy they are but I can lift micra engines with the box attached up onto my bench by hand so not frightfully heavy

    Suspension rebuild

    Our Micra is getting quite old now and even though it starts and drives, the quality of the drive just isn't that good anymore, I suspect it's because the suspension is absolutely done for so I'm pretty much just replacing everything to see if it makes a difference? Anyone else done similar with...

    K12 upstream and downstream O2 sensor replacement

    Wide open throttle tests are good since the ecu does not use the 02 sensor signal input in most cars and uses the maximum fuel/air mixture which is a quick and dirty way to tell if the 02 sensors are working...

    Micra won't go in to gear when hot

    The clutch is always the number 1 suspect of gear engagement issues. The gearbox in the micra is pretty tough in my experience...

    Compression destruction

    No crack that's actually just part of the profile of the piston

    what did you do to your micra today ?

    I do mobile mechanics, I just get on and crack on but yes sometimes people can be annoying... Just make sure you keep an eye on your tools!

    Brakes on the micra

    I always just buy the cheapo brembo or pagids for most customer cars and they never complain. Known a lot of the issues with poor brake pedal feel on the K12 is usually a mixture of poorly serviced slide pins on the front callipers and poorly adjusted rear drums on most. That and nobody ever...

    K12 CAR SEAT INTERCHANGEABILITY

    I'm not sure about the fitment, I did swap some 04 model year seats into a 2010 model year k12 although they were both three door. As for insurance, depends on your insurer - if in doubt check! Don't want you to get caught out, they are slippery folk

    Weird problem - K11 engine revs surge at low RPM

    ... If the live data looks normal and there are no obvious signs of 02 sensors giving false readings or a huge intake/manifold leak... then have you also checked the engine mounts aren't in tatters? That can make a big difference at low speeds and when changing gears because the whole enging...
