    Tyre pressures...?

    I am surprised but the owners manual that came with my car doesn't give tyre pressures. It does provide a lot of info on wheel type and tyre sizes that I will probably never need. It also encourages me to check pressures and warns of the dangers of getting it wrong- but I had expected a table of...

Its virtually constant when in motion and sounds like a bushing but so far neither I, nor 2 different garages can identify the source.

    Any well known problems? K12 Micra

    Any well known problems? K12 Micra

    Hi everyone, I've just become a Nissan owner with my first Japanese car. I bought a 2008 K12 Micra. Its evident from the start that all is not well with its suspension. There is a constant rattling/knocking noise when in motion. I suspect the shocks ( although they pass the bounce test). If its...
