Good Morning Chaps, First a bit of good news...My good Lady passed her Driving Test yesterday..first attempt..very proud of her. Now for a very irritating problem that has cropped up...The central locking has now got a mind of its own...it will lock itself for no reason at all...Ive done the...

Thanks for the heads up on that SirChris...it doesnt tell you that in the Haynes Manual...or I didnt see it...I will read it up again before I do anything.. Regards, Steve.

Thanks Davyboy...I was wanting an answer like this...lol...I think I shall get underneath and have a bit of a clean up on any cable/linkeage that I find grubby....then give it a bit of lube...wont do any harm and give me chance to have a poke about and get to know the underside...but only while...

Hi Guys, Another hopefully slight problem has occured with the wifes car...The gear shift has got a little difficult to move down the box from "P" through to "D"...it seems a little clunky...jerky..stiff..if that makes sense. When driving, the car shifts up and down the box no problem at...

I agree with H701...but make sure all your electrics are covered properly...take particulare care round the deep seated plugs as they will fill with water and if you dont get all of it out before starting the engine it could boil and crack the ceramics on the plugs...it happened to me on my...

Ouch!...I see the petrol station a lot mate....it loves me....unfortunately it sees me in both cars...mine a lot more than the wifes....I get christmas cards off my local one...lol...but I dont want to tempt fate with my Merc..ha ha...watch it blow up now!!!.... Steve,

Ha ha...sorry for the delay in respond Davyboy..been very busy....But I will admit I have been driving her car more than mine since she got it...I love it..its so nippy and great fun to drive... Steve

Thank you Davyboy...youve put my mind at rest now...I wondered what "CVT"meant...it all makes sense now...My own car is a 95 Merc C280 Elegance Auto...so Im imagining that the Micra should also "Creep" like that one does :rolleyes:...The wife drove the Micra to work this morning no problem at...

Yes I have r-reg....I found the way to do it on one of the forums alas it made no difference.... apart from the idle being too high out of gear...yet when I returned it to what sounded right again I only need slight pressure on the gas and the car moves off great...back to the original...

Thanks fellas, you have helped me out of a dilema yet again, I really appreciate your knowledge, Regards, Steve.

Thanks for the Info Daveyboy...thats very reassuring mate and I can now stop tearing my hair out...whats left of it....amazing how we judge other cars behaviour to the others weve had...mine have always had a creep on selection...once again ...thanks for the help, regards, Steve.

Wow...never heard of that before ..now Im more confused...The fluid is nice and clean Redish...not brown..it drive great other than it not creeping..and as the wife is learning in it I get a little worrie that she may just give it to much gas..oh dear doesnt bear thinking about...ha ha..its fast...

Thanks Frank..its 1999...whats lazy powder ??? lol..

Hello again chaps, After getting the front brake problem on my wifes 1.3 micra auto sorted..new calipers both sides....I now have another problem...when either drive or reverse is selected the car wont creep at all..it stays stock still. Ive checked the rear brakes for binding and they are...

Well chaps here is an update, After stripping and cleaning both calipers the problem remained virtualy the same, They had eased off a little but not enough...on inspection I found that both pistons were quite corroded at the bottom end and no amount of polishing would clean them off...

Thanks for the tip...I think I would have been scratching my head for a while on that point...lol...
