No its not bearing noise, My previous cars have mainly been much larger cruisers so I guess I'm used to a higher degree of soundproofing. Overall I really like my Micra, but the wheels and tyres look like small insubstantial toys to me lol :grinning: The tyres aren't blocky - normal...

Thanks - nice links !

I don't normally do many motorway miles at all, but might have to do more over the spring and summer. Don't want to turn up the stereo lol fighting noise with noise gets tiring - I like to chill at a lower volume. I'd have to go out and look for the tyre make, and as it is dark and...

Thanks I just read that there is a cheaper product used by roofing contractors called “Ice Guard” which has an adhesive backing and is also good for sound damping. Anyone tried it?

1999 1.3 gx 5 door auto Picks up a lot of road noise when at cruising speeds on dual carriageway or motorway, is there a way to damp this?

1999 1.3 gx 5 door auto I don't like the standard steering wheel it is way too hard, it aggravates my thumb for some reason, I want something softer where can I get one? As the standard wheel is pretty thick anyhow, adding a cushioned cover over it makes it too bulky.

1999 1.3 gx 5 door auto I've just noticed that when the lights are on, the driver side rear light and brake light works fine, whilst on the other other side the brake light is permanently on. Weird ! Also the central rear window light is not working at all - how do I go about...

Thanks I'll do that then, its a lot further to travel, but the chap I spoke to at the gearbox place sounded far more coherent about cvt's than anyone at Nissan.

I'm beginning to think you are right I can't get a consensus from nissan I've spoken to a third nissan dealer and they said they'd run a diagnostic on it to evaluate the problem but one of the previous dealers said that diagnostics wouldn't show anything unless the dashboard light was coming...

I reckon mine is beginning to go so i rang up a couple of nissan dealers and an independent gearbox specialist. First nissan dealer service dept said they'd get a mechanic to test drive it and give a verdict from that. Second nissan dealer service dept said they would first of all have to...

Thanks It will take me two or 3 years to do 9,000 so I think I'd need to do it a bit more often in my circumstance.

Thankyou for the brush info I Sometimes find mine a bit difficult to change from N to R or D after it has been driven for a while, could this be an impending brush or clutch problem ? Its perfectly smooth to change from n to D or R when it is cold or warmimg up, I mainly notice it when...

that is specific to the micra. First time I've had a micra, its a '99 1.3 gx 5 door auto. Only 30.000 miles on clock For example, how often does oil need changing for predominantly a mix of town and v short country road drives. I take it steady so the car is not getting flogged and the...

That's neat ! Thanks for the pix. How much - all inc?

Thanks for the advice Willenium but I've never found that a subwoofer helps the instrumentation of the music I predominantly listen to. Replacing the remaining micra speakers today has shown me exactly how poor they are and replacing the R/C as well revealed how pants the cassette player is...

Nice link, thanks. :) I've got a few ideas from that one and others I've just seen on ebay, I'll head down the breakers yard and see if I can spot some of them and check out measurements.

Well...........:laugh: I changed one door speaker yesterday and it sounds considerably better than the one on the other side, the pioneer has far more depth of sound with a smoother response, I'll do the other today and see how it goes. I'll probably end up doing the lot and using my old...

Everything has to be on the cheap at the moment, buying the :k11yellow has cleaned me out :glance: Thanks for the info.

I agree it's particularly the tapes which sound dodgy. I'll begin by replacing the speakers and take it from there. I have some pioneers that aren't too deep which I think will fit in the doors o'k I read the depth available was around 5.4 cm ?

or the speakers or both :grinning: 1999 1.3 gx 5 door which I've just bought Before I start messing with installing other stuff I'd like to know. I have a reasonable set of 4 speakers which i bought for my previous car and a standard ford radio/cassette which sounded pretty good...
