Hi, Happy good Friday/easter bank hols to all you micra fans. :) Just wondering if any of you can recommend some car ramps for the micra or has anyone made some themselves out of wood? If so, how high/ long did you make them? Anyhows, thanks in advance for any interest/input and happy bank...

Took my k11 beauty out snow sliding, gotta have another go today, best car in the world in these conditions :p

Thanks NB, A lot of other people on the net seem to agree with you about man filters, made in Germany as well which seems to be a bonus. I just reserved one on ECP and it must be a slow month on there as they are half price. Bar anyone else on here coming up with a better brand, I think I'll go...

Hi micra fans, I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a bog standard brand of air filter for a K11? Do you think the brand makes much difference? The engine light or otherwise known as lamp of doom has now been extinguished now thankfully ;p I have just renewed the MAF sensor and...

o.k. cheeers chris, The good news is I've cleaned my old maf and turned the engine light of doom out twice now and after 50 miles it seems to have stayed out! usually it will come back on at 40 miles. If the engine light does come back on though I think I may have to invest off ebay in either...

Thanks for the reply Chr, I think what you have done is a sound idea. In my case, the car drives o.k. and the only noticeable things are the MIL engine light on and the idle sounds a bit iffy when I turn stuff like lights and heater on, the revs fall slightly as if, if it goes any lower then...

Hi folks, I was just wondering if anyone had got a MAF sensor from somewhere like ebay and was it any good? This sensor is off a 2001 bosch type throttle body that can't be soldered. Does anyone know of a particular company/web site that has been supplied a reliable MAF sensor? Many...

Thanks for that info john, you are a life saver ;p I think I shall put in an order to a chiness father xmas for a 309 ..happy xmas

Hi guys n girls, Merry x mas , ho ho ho and all those snowy greeting to ya.. Just like to pick your brain cells a little, if I may. Can anyone recommend a fault code reader? I have a redish/orange engine warning light that has been on for 6 months now and its a persistent little blighter. I...

Fitted the klarius backbox to the micra today. Its so quiet now that I can understand why the nutty neighbour would go to their window when I started the dam thing up and now its got a new silencer, the neighbours have dissapeared. Not bad though 17 years on the original exhaust. :D

Thanks for that, i am not surprised at your spare exhaust from the scrappies being in such good condition as my micra is on the original exhaust, it has only rusted because as pmlval says , it has been used for short journeys. Might try and get a cheep clarus on offer from europarts witha...

Thanks for reply and thats a good info on the bostal. you are correct, these days I just use the micra for small journeys or in my case micro journeys ;p slight hitch with the bostal is that to get one sent out through mr auto, by the time I get one sent out and find another to fit and taken...

lol..yep darius is he dodgy scottish version of clarius..I hope it has more x factor..lol ohh well, the clarius can't sound any worse than mine with a rusty hole in it..! Thanks for the reply..

Hi guys n girls, Just failed the micra MOT on a slightly windy backbox/silencer..oww err misses..;p I just priced up a replacement backbox for £48 fitted in one of those tyre/exhausts places and they use A2A exhausts. I was just wondering if anyone had had any experience or even heard of...

Hi, I am looking at changing my k11 rear silencer for a darius one. Did you notice any difference in the noise with the new darius back box silencer? Many thanks for any input given ;0)

Yep, I agree, I wish dvla would give us the micra owners email address so we can tell them how rare this model is and encourage them to preserve them. Then, we can be a country like cuba, but full of old micras..;p

Thanks davy, I' ll try that battery test under load with the lights on at the weekend. Though, I think you are right, I best be done with the whole thing by replacing the battery and then I will know that I won't get caught out during the winter with starting problems. As usual, I have come...

o.k. folks, I'll try to conclude this battery saga soon as its not the sexiest of threads..;p After the weekly 50 mile run and several mid week mini week runs, the battery seems to be starting the car faster now. The battery voltage was in the permitted/advised 12.8 volts to 13.2 range for a...
