Quote: “Ps yeah guy ripped all front old told me bad bcm and wouldn't be fixable/replaceable” I rather suspect that the mechanic/electrical guy has already rendered your vehicle as scrap & parts? They can maximise profits & commission bonus by selling you another vehicle for loads more money &...

Optimal minimal cost solution would be to dry out the boot/rear lights electrics, find & fix the boot/lights/hatchback door/roof gutter rain leaks. Do not let mechanics erroneously interfere with the BCM at the front of the vehicle before the rain leaks & rear electrics are dried out &...

The auto gbox is interlocked with the ECU/ignition/steering lock & it will not start if not in the right position or setting & that signal has to get to & be recognised by ECU/ign/steer lock system. Haynes manual may have more info. A new steering lock will come with its matching key that...

Quote: "Nissan just don't seem to be able to keep up", My 26 year old K11 on 65K has from new original Nissan front discs, exhaust, ancillaries, clutch, suspension assembly & eng/gbox & has never reqd. any MOT/welding thus far! It just keeps going & passing straight thru successive MOTs with...

May I suggest common electrical fault sources that are well known to the K12 in the public domain all of the multiple sensor codes such as low voltage & corroded fuse links, wire connectors & common earth faults as where to focus inspect, test & assess as follows? Quote “01-05-2011: But worth...

Quote: “Sorry Nissan, you just don't cut it for us any more”! Seconded here. Renault Nissan appears to have lost the minimal hassle motoring plot from the K12 onwards to this day? Specifically what is it that they do not understand about the word micra ( µ ) with the K14 µ? :confused: Good...

After all of the Dig-s brain teasing entertainment foibles and frailties encountered, I am curious as to what will replace it & why for future less hassle motoring? Needless to say I have enjoyed your many informative threads over the years . :)

Many thanks & good info food for reflection. My 26 year old K11 on 65K has original Nissan front discs, exhaust, ancillaries, clutch, & eng/gbox & has never reqd any MOT/welding! It just keeps going & passing straight thru successive MOTs with no advisories, only my simple basic DIY...

Quote: “discs have a noticable rusty lip but feeling little weak” curious? Pictures of said discs with lip & brand, age & useage is of considerable interest please?

Excellent DIY work & full marks for perseverance chasing down all the sources of leaks! Well done. :)

Quicker & cheaper to simply interchange the apparently misfiring no 4 coil for one of either cyls no 1, 2, or 3 coils to test if the apparent misfire fault code shifts? Our juddering, shuddering & kangarooing Micra was tamed with the TB mass air flow sensor unplugged & it drove ok with the...

A quick cheap suitable test now would be to unplug the mass airflow sensor at the throttle body & test drive to check if the rev limiting shuddering misfire is reduced? It will flag a fault code engine check light that will shortly reset itself when the mass air sensor is reconnected after a...

WD40 will do too help get over the immediate issue & I have used it for many years without graphite powder but graphite powder & WD40 may clog up into a mess as has been stated by others. Some master locksmiths can identify the key number from the worn key blade profile & then cut a new key...

You appear to have listed nearly all of the pragmatic DIY options & may I suggest using a liquid spray on penetrating lubricant into the lock & trying the spare key, that is a less worn key blade if you can get the troublesome key blade out of the mechanical ignition switch steering lock? Good...

The K12 roof trims hide the roof & side body panel joints & are retained by locating lugs, one each, at the front & also at the rear extreme ends. Removal is easily achievable with the use of two out of date credit/bank cards etc to prise the trims out in the middle of said trims. Once the...

Revealing one line reflection anecdote on you part when considering documented evidence substantiated by my many years of management experience with plugs in my K11 that continues to pass MOTs without advisories & perform as it was designed; - now in its twenty seventh year entirely maintained...

Just changed my 1998 1300cc K11 standard NGK plugs after seven years & 30K miles runabout use & they still looked fine even under detail gap measurement & magnifying glass examination! The vehicle seems to start & perform just the same with no discernible change between the old and or new plugs...

Rain water can run down inside the A,B & C pillars from the roof gutter joints & from the windscreen seals against the A pillar. Roof gutter joints are hidden under the two plastic full length roof trims where corrosion holes plus weld seam sealants dry out & can decay into micro cracks, with...

The UKs Third World standard pot hole infested now virtually unmaintained roads combined with a hard throttle & brake driving style puts additional load stress on front & rear wheel bearings & suspension shortening its design economic useful life cycle. ;)

A K13 automatic nightmare too much hassle? www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/sensor-speed-13031/nissan/micra/micra-iv-k13/7050-1-2-dig-s Get me out :ROFLMAO:
