With the UKs Third World standard pot hole infested unmaintained roads, standard size steel wheels are more rugged less prone to damage & fit in the spare wheel recess, unlike over size alloys/ tyres. Steady as you go is quicker & cheaper in this case. ;)

Maybe if you expand on what you have meaningfully & forcefully tried thus far then on reflection perhaps we may make additional useful suggestions? ;)

Have been running my 1998 1300cc K11 ( 66K ) on cheap supermarket E10 since it was available (years) & it appears to run the same as it ever did & starts instantly as always? I never needed to change petrol flexible hoses or adjust the ignition timing from when it was new, & it never pinks...

After detail inspection, if the manifold is crack free then it is normally reusable after joint face clean up. Same applies to the catalyst & its joint faces. I use DIY paint scrapers to remove old gasket materials & check joint faces level/alignment on a flat surface. A few hours DIY graft...

That's the way to do it, quick & simple. Good quality external silicon sealants are Sunlight resistant? :)

Do not remove the glass, that may create more problems than its worth. Do not bodge it up attempting to seal up the whole sunroof as erroneously suggested by others. I have been DIY fixing leaks simply & easily without fail on my old banger Micras for twenty five years as follows. May I...

Unlikely from the carbon brushes?

I suspect that you may have found the fault source of the Kangaroo intermittent drive issues with the auto CVT? AS always do your own research read through the following links & don't overlook the Similar threads at the the bottom of each MSC page. K11 CVT Automatic Carbon Brushes Faults at...

Car dealers & MOT testers are mates who all know each other in your area & thus MOTs can be issued at “mates rates”! Perhaps that’s how it has apparently passed its MOT. Best solution is to put it down to experience & simply get it repair welded elsewhere or complaining at the MOT tester may...

Micra kangaroo is invariably related to a throttle body/connections issue. The quickest & therefore cheapest diagnosis method is to simply unplug the TB lower plug in connector. The vehicle will then be drivable without erratic kangarooing if the TB is the fault issue...

Quote: “Any advice, insights, or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated”. May I suggest that you read some of the multiple reliability & maintenance issues with the K12 Micra that have been substantively established in facts collated & listed in the public domain for many years. This...

Quote; “After my original distributor failed on my '97 1L micra I replaced it with a new one, now the car runs great but only revs up to 5k rpm”. What appears to have changed prior to the onset of a misfire when hot, is only the distributer, as per your statements. Therefore it is logical to...

Distributer mechanically controls ignition timing pro-rata variation as per RPM variation on a 1997 early Micra & its position is widely adjustable. Most back street mechanics workshops would have access to a strobe timing lamp & employees who still know how to use it as a basic simple test...

Quote: “There must be a work to do, but does anyone see the purpose of doing that”? Perhaps doing unnecessary work the purpose is to look busy, & in the case of garage mechanic’s to fit unnecessary new parts & labour to increase garage bills earn commission & maximise profits. The jobs a good...

Reset/check ignition timing with strobe timing light as per Haynes manual recommendation. Good luck. :)

Try releasing the fuel cap & test driving, as its tiny ventilation hole maybe blocked causing a fuel tank vacuum restricting fuel flow supply? Good luck. ;)

The K11 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...
