    Weird starting issue...

    Hi Folks, I put 50,000 miles on my last micra over the past two years so thought it was time for a change... Upgraded from a '93 1.3LX to a '96 1.3GX :) Its only got 15k on the clock, and all seems fine; drove 200 miles home in it after purchase. Since then I have noticed it doesnt start with...
