I like that idea too:-) Jacked the car up and there is no play in the bearing, or roughness. Wheel turns freely and handbrake is fine. Clamped a steel bar to touch both the inside and outside rim of the wheel and it runs true. Not sure how much the stub axle would have to be bent but I would...

Good thoughts. The wheel balanced up OK when the tyres were fitted a few months ago but it could have been damaged since so at least I will jack it up and spin to see if it running out. There is no play in the wheel I can feel, and it just passed the MOT at a rigorous garage so I wouldn't...

The rear nearside tyre on our K12 1.5 SVE is wearing really badly. Almost full tread on the inside edge and down to the wear bar on the outside. All the other tyres are wearing normally and all 4 were replaced at the same time. The local garage put the car on ramps and can see no signs of damage...

Wow that was fast, thanks ! I'll try it when my daughter is here with the car at the weekend... Joe

Could some kind person provide me the code for BP5387 6 9669877 Many thanks Joe

So in the short time I had last night I split apart the radio and CD changer and removed the ribbon connector between them. The battery drain previously was 0.8A constantly with ignition off and car locked. Now it is 0.3A after locking the car dropping to 0.01 soon after, so hopefully I have...

>The more I think about it, it sounds like they have no idea so they just wanna get rid of me, or replace the whole thing rather than find the one fault. That's why I would not take an older car to a main dealer. There may be good mechanics there but some of them are lost if the computer...

Did the RAC tell you what the fault codes were and have Nissan done any additional inspection and told you what needs to be done for £1K? Joe

Hi - Is it manual or auto, and does it have keyless go (ie they key does not need to be inserted in the lock, it just needs to be in the car)? My father in law is always forgetting to have the key with him, or the key battery has gone flat, or he doesn't put it in P before trying to start...

Hmmm, thanks both. I have no problem having a go but successfully fixing a changer mech is unlikely to end well, based on previous experience. Still, if there is no emergency eject facility I have nothing to lose. Trouble is, I am a long way from the car and have limited time when there. It...

Hi All - Our K12 Micra has a factory Blaupunkt BP5387 radio / 6CD changer which has developed a fault with the changer. It has at least 1 CD inside it but wont eject or play. If I disconnect then reconnect the battery (with ignition switch off) it whirrs and clunks for a while trying to do...

There is a Haynes manual that is likely better than the owners manual for DIY work. https://haynes.com/en-gb/nissan/micra/2003-2010 Joe
