I haven't got any front fogs for a K11 micra but i've gotta admit front fogs on a K11 do look pretty cool!

Had my first accident on monday night, Oh joy! I was going along a valley road just about to go round a blind corner and a bus was coming the other way and was slightly on my side of the road. The bus bashed my wing mirror off and made a nice long dent along the drivers side door, bashed up...

I know the basics of doing a coolant renewal thanks to my micra haynes manual. Has anyone got any tips/tricks to make things easier when doing a coolant renewal on a Micra? Cheers, MicraNut.

Hi John, I had a feeling that this might be the problem. Thanks for the reply.

I drove an automatic mercedes at work the other day, stopped to put it into park and could not get it out of park to drive off again! a mechanic came over with a rubber mallet whacked down on the top of the gear stick and it unlocked it out of park so i could select drive again! weird...

Hi all, My 1998 nissan micra will not start again after moving the car just a few meters. The engine was cold when i moved it a few meters, stopped the engine and now it will not restart again. The starter is operating fine and the engine wants to turn over but it just will not start. I have...

The best thing to do is to position a bucket below the radiator bottom hose, unclip the bottom hose and let the coolant drain from the radiator into the bucket. Also unclip the coolant reservoir and drain that off too and then re-attach the reservoir and re-attach the radiator bottom hose and...

hey everyone, does anyone know how to replace the bulb for the hazard warning switch (the one next to the rear screen demister switch)because mine has blown? Cheers, MicraNut.

Hey all, Here's my Micra

Hi all, I wondered at what wear limit must the front brake discs be replaced. I read in my micra haynes manual that they must be replaced once they've reached a thickness of 10mm. Is that right?

Hi all, I have recently done a mini sevice on my Micra. I have changed the spark plugs, PCV filter, Fuel filter and Air filter and done checks as per the Haynes Manual. Does anyone have an idea what the PCV filter does? Does it work in conjunction with the air filter? Anybody have any tips...

Might be a good idea to search the wreckers until you find one or buy a new one. The problem with trying to repair expansion tank as with everything else is that they could go wrong leading to problems i.e. leaks and overheating to name a few. i think yer better off buying a new or used...

You can buy Body underseal. that helps to deaden sound as it it painted to the underside of the car and it helps prevent corrosion too. I use Waxoyl body underseal.

Nissan say that the timing chain and tensioners etc are to last the life of the engine.

Looking good micratech. Good job well done!

It is also referred to as LSPD (Load Sensing Proportional Device) or something like that?!

Hi Dave, I've just had my timing chain replaced and the top and bottom tensioners had to be replaced along with timing chain and new gear idler. Just replacing the top tensioner could be false economy. A mechanic told me that just replacing the top tensioner could work for a while but once it...

Nice one! Wish i could have done that but the tape player packed up so i bought a JVC KD-G311 CD player instead! The best part about getting the CD player was that someone had put the CD player under the wrong price-tag and it was priced at £100. I took it through the till and it actually cost...

At work i got quoted £170 (398.49 AUD) for labour (4 hours), parts (front cross-member)and paint (black). They wanted £60 (140 AUD) to have the cross member painted silver I said 'nah, paint it black' and they said 'it'll cost £10 (23 AUD)to paint it black' a saving of £50!

I have a rusty-looking front cross member on my k11 Micra. Does anyone know how much a new cross member will cost. i had it welded up last year with metal plates but the rust just keeps coming back! Also,does the front cross member just unbolt or is it welded. I've looked in my haynes manual...
