    K11 Front passenger seat to fold forward flat?

    This may sound daft (apologies if it does) but can you push the seat all the way forward recline it fully & take the headrest off, then fold the back seat down. I used to do this on a Renault 5 I had & quite long loads could be carried as the platform was flat-ish & extended to the dashboard.

    Sills, front crossmember , floor in general. Although to be honest it can strike anywhere, I had some on the roof :eek:

    hi, from a newbie in the midlands and just a quicky on my automatic

    Yep that's how they are. We've had our 1.3 CVT for 12 years, fabulous cars, nothing modern compares ;)

    Holiday Micra's

    Glad there's a few in Malta, last time I was there, there was a lot of 1960's tin like Anglia's etc, good to see Micra's are there in number too. :) Lately I feel like the numbers on the road in England seem to be increasing! I'm seeing loads at the moment. It's got to say something for the...

    Holiday Micra's

    Hello all I just got back from a week in Menorca (a very nice place). The thing that struck me was how many Micra K11's are still being used. Some days I was seeing at least 15-20 without really looking for them. Admittedly most look a bit rough, but it might be a good source of parts, if anyone...

    Grinding CVT gearbox

    Hello Ash Ours has been doing it for 12 years now, so I think i'll just leave it alone ;) Like I say, the Nissan dealer said it was normal & it hasn't gone bang yet (I'm touching wood as I say that). The noise ours makes does sound like powder grinding, so I've always thought it's the powder...

    Grinding CVT gearbox

    Hello How low does the speed go before it does it? On our 1998 CVT, when the speed drops very low (such as moving slowly when parking or maneuvering on a car park), ours makes a slight but noticeable grinding noise. I had this checked out at the Nissan dealer when we bought it 12 years ago & it...

    Non starter suspect starter inhibitor on cvt box

    My 1998 K11 CVT will occasionally do this. All I do is shove the lever forward a bit more whilst in Park or move the lever to Neutral, it'll then start. Not saying it'll work for yours but you could try it.

    K11 Naming Convention?

    I bet the resistor card in my heater is a Renault bit - the damned thing just broke :(:mad:

    You're welcome :) Great little cars. Given a choice I can't ever see me not having one.

    K11 Naming Convention?

    I find the naming thing a bit confusing too. I like the ABCD idea. At what point / reg' were Renault bits added ? Cheers Dave:)

    £200.00 for that ! These have to be the best value cars around. Looks great.

    Newbie needing advice on CVT buying...

    We've had a K11 1.3 CVT since 2003. Lovely little car, the 1.3 is surprisingly brisk. I drove a 1.0 once & whilst not a ball of fire it should be ok for what you need it for. 24k with FSH for £600.00, that's cheaper than walking - providing it seems ok & drives ok, buy it. I agree with davyboy's...

    rear bumper ripped off :(

    God that's bloody awful, I hope you can get it sorted. Did anyone get the number of the van/ were there any witnesses? If it's a works van report him to his firm, they may take a dim view of it. Not sure if the Police might not want to know too. You're nicer than me, I wouldn't have forgiven...

    Early & late Automatic's

    Cheers davyboy, that's good to hear. I've always quite fancied getting a K11 1.4 auto. Dave :)
