Had my 1998 Micra 1.3i Ally parked on the drive since it passed its MOT about 2 months ago. I took it for a short burst two weeks ago, but since then it hasn't moved. Tried to start her up today, and wont start. Its never failed to start in the 12years i've owned it, apart from one frosty...

took car in for brake check, all the rear shoes were 100% worn so got those replaced. Also had to replace the O/S cylinder which was leaking and rusty. The N/S cylinder was ok so didn't do that. Went for MOT retest, it sailed through. A few advisories though, front brakes pitted (who cares)...

Same problem for me. I can hear it whining Had an MOT today, thought it would fail so I did one side this morning using a paper clip, poking it into the two holes of the washer jet I tried it again, then after a minute some black gunk came out of the jet & now it's working 100% Tried to...

frank, you ######. You jinx'd my MOT lol My mechanic failed me on the brakes. Can you believe it? He said the handbrake was fine but the O/S rear brake was doing nothing and the N/S one was on the limit. Despite me telling him that I managed to brake from 100-0 on the way here just fine...

The bloody Nissan Dealer who raised the advisories 12 months ago. I finally took the car into a garage today, ready to hand over some cash to replace the O/S CV boot gaitor. He said £27 all in. Jacked up the car, told me to put the car on full lock, shone a light under the car and 20 seconds...

thanks for the replies. Just one FINAL question. The CV joint including Boot Kit that I bought was for the 1.0L K11. Is this also suitable for the 1.3L K11 which I have or are the parts different?

..to change the rear brake shoes on a K11. I've just got hold of a brand new set for £4.99 (both sides). There's a local mechanic to me that charges £20 p/h. Also seperately, how long to replace the CV boot, I picked a genuine one today with a CV joint for £15.00. Probably worth just...

There is no clicking on full lock, but cant seem to find the 'boot only'. They all seem to come in a kit How do I know if the brake shoes are weak? If they were 80% worn 12 months ago, should they be changed? The most important thing I need to know is what sort of time & cost am I looking at...

Thanks for all the nice replies. I was just recalling all the wonderful moments I've had in my Micra. It was my first car just after passing my test, and I have so many fond memories. Its quite surreal. It hasn't been used much in the last three years, since I got my BMW, but I just realised...

Hi, I'm new to the forums, i've done my introduction and now I am after some advice. I have a Nissan Micra Ally, 1.3L 5dr, 1998 "S" Reg. I have owned the car from new, its covered 50,000 miles, and has an MOT due (well a couple of weeks overdue) The car has been serviced each and every...

I purchased my 1998 Nissan Micra 1.3i Ally 5dr in Silver directly from Nissan, Brand New. Cost just under £10,000. Now 12 years later, I decide the join the forum lol. I've probably missed out on so much advice over the years, its quite sad. Anyway just wanted to introduce myself to...
