I'm used to Vaux stuff and this usually means the rocker gasket has gone. Easy and cheaply replaced. It's very important to remove as much of the oil as possible (especially if its a lot) before you remove a plug. Dont just let the oil run into the cylinder as you remove the plug. If your lucky...

Hi mate, thanks for the reply. When the clock didnt have a back light at night i changed the bulb that sits behind the clock. It was easy enough to do just by removing the rear cover of the console, you dont have to remove the clocks or disconnect the speedo cable etc. There is a low fuel...

Hello everyone, The digital clock on the left of the console has gone blank. Has anyone any idea if the clock is blown or is there a chance of a loose connection somewhere?. Any help or suggestions would be greatfully received. Mny thanks Mark

Hi there, hope someone can help. We're having trouble finding a rear-facing car seat to fit a 3 door K11 car. We need one to fit a 9 month to 4 year old age range. We looked at one in Halfords which nearly fitted in the back but no chance in the front. Has anyone had a similar problem and...

Mant thanks to NeX for the reply. Had chance to take a look at the car today and found the following: Inside the drivers door near to the door latch mechanism there is some kind of contact or connection, looks to be a round shape as far as i can see! As said, it looks like an electrical...

Hi all, hopefully someone can help with this The central locking on our L plate Super S has started to play up. The passenger door keeps locking and unlocking itself, often at an alarming rate! This can happen when the car is moving or if you've walked to the car and unlocked it (remote so...

I think the cat will sometimes mask the oil being burnt.

Definately works here too, we had this problem so many times a few years back. After allowing it to run for at least 2 minutes if its cold before switching it off we have had no trouble. The wife did stall it the other day and sure enough it was doing its best to flood on us!, misfiring for a...

Our Super S has similar issues. Every now and then it loses the radio, wipers, heater, wash pump and i'm sure theres more. I hear the relays click when you hit a pot hole and they all come back on. I've now narrowed it down to the contacts on the ignition barrel although i'm yet to look into it...

If you do begin checking earths, try clipping a jump lead from the battery negative post onto the components you are checking. If the earth is faulty then the jump lead will re-earth the components and show up your fault

Hi mate, here's a couple of things before you go spending money. Try checking the connections at the battery to make sure they are nice and secure. If your ok with a multimeter, get the engine running and check on the battery terminals to see if you have around 14v at idle. Anything less and...

Thanks for the info mate, does this mean that i could use the red LED on the ECU (if it exists without NATS?) to read off any fault codes?

We had the front cross-member replaced on the car recently and the wife has told me that she has trouble with the electrics but i've never seen the car do this so i haven't been able to look into this? There seems to be an intermittent fault that takes out the heater, heated rear window and...

Hi all, sorry to join this forum and start asking questions straight away. I apologise in advance for my incorrect terminology but should our Super S have an engine managment light? I ask the question because after reading the Haynes manual there is reference to watching the dash light flash in...

Hi all, new member saying hello. A few years back the wife and i were looking for a second car and decided on a Micra. Not knowing what i was looking at we viewed a few micra's and eventually settled on a local car that was tidy and at a decent price. I liked the car as it looked as sporty...
