You sound really expert. What mpg should I get? Spark: look at the plugs? Vacuum where? Timing - I'll check.

Hi all I get around 30mph doing short trips in London. Shouldn't I get a lot more? The engine sounds ok and only has 63k miles. (I was a mechanic many years ago.) I fitted a different s/h "computer" when I lost my key - no difference. Any ideas out there? thanks

TFL accepted it - I don't have to get rid of the car! Yes it was the Cert of Conformity, but for some reason (a long delayed reaction to my searing arguments?) they don't charge any more. I phoned Nissan customer services 0330 123 1231 then emailed [email protected]. First Shayne tried to...

Harr harr maybe he got a pet project and somebody sent him loads of discouraging emails.

All working thanks for your help.

ARRR! ok searching many thanks

Cool But I just opened below the radio, and the "ECU" is apparently an Airbag ECU - fine with me - but it looks nothing like the ones in the different sets for sale online. Also fixed with 3 heavy security bolts. Is that the ECU I have to change, or is there another one? I read somewhere the...

OK - will a random scrapyard ECU work with my engine (it's the brain that runs the engine right?) or do I need to make sure it's the right one for my engine size and year? thanks

Again: it's not the EURO number which counts, it's the NOX. There was not EURO4 before 2006 (I think), but some cars built before 2006 and marked EURO3 had such low NOX that they also pass EURO4 and ULEZ, for example K11 1.4 2002 (which TFL sussed by themselves) and my K11 1.0 2001 which they...

except he has a K11 of 2002 )) Understood - agreed. It's about "early adopters", because officially manufacturers only produced to EURO4 (=ULEZ) standard from 2006. But some started earlier - the question is how much earlier. I doubt TFL will bother to exempt all the cars of my model...

Ouch - so I need all 3, even without central locking? The new ECU just plugs in where the old one was? thanks Dandan

except he has a K11 of 2002 ))

Nitrous Oxide level is the crunch. Please read the rest of my posts.

I lost my key - micra 1.0 Jan 2001 - took off the barrel, can turn the ignition switch with a flat screwdriver, it turns over but doesn't start. I understand the black-box-with-ring under the barrel needs the chip in the key to allow ignition. It has 8 wires going into it. Can these be somehow...

Hi PLMVAL - I got the certificate from Nissan, showing NOX 0.028, way below EURO4 minimum. Sorry you had to wait so long to be disappointed. Dandan

My son's 1.4 Micra 2002 was automatically exempt on the TFL website, but my 1.0 litre Micra Jan 2001 was not. Last week I got the certificate of conformity (send V5C reg doc + photo of VIN plate) from Nissan customer services FOR FREE (last year they wanted £114 for it!) and it shows NoX level...

interesting thanks

Hi Fuzzy Good points thanks. (at last someone with something to say) Nice videos. I wish I knew the original dealer of my car - DVLA would not tell me - I would ask through them. Yes, surprising TfL only want the NOx figure, not the rest, and also that they're not interested in live testing...

Hi tj Sorry I'm new too - no idea. Daniel

You're not interested in live emissions testing either.
