Nissan didn't fit parking sensors factory. So they are aftermarket and quite probably picking up power from another circuit, most likely reverse lights assuming you only have rear sensors, look behind the lining in the boot for the control box and pull the power there.

the exhaust fell off. :O ok, not quite so dramatic, the back box had been showing signs of corrosion since before I bought Dot. it was the only advisory in last years MOT so I knew it was coming and it was the original so it's done well. snapped at the inlet to the box. I was 70 miles away, so...

search in ebay for micra cc breaking. ring the seller and ask for a price for one removed and posted. other option is to pull out what is there and repair it with new LEDs assuming it's just got segments out rather than it being smashed.

How do you think I know the rates at a stealer? Unfortunately my tools cost me considerable more than 300 quid over the years and on cars upto about 2009 I agree completely in the .most part. An obd11 scanner is now a must though.

depressing aint it. to put it in to context, Nissan main dealer labour is between-40-60 an hour (have seen 90 at some) and they have defined times for each task, so something like a headlight bulb is 1 hours labour. for your tasks, trackrod end is 1 hour (yer I know) horn is 1.5 hour because...

I stayed with a single din for the time being. I printeda tablet/phone holder that mounts in the CD slot and uses bluetooth to talk to the head unit.

GSF and eurocarparts.

time costs money and the lamda sensor is a good hour if not 2. 198 quid is bloody cheap.

35 mpg, which engine, because that's shocking. Bring your service forward, do as Paul above says for potential drive train issues but don't rule out plugs, oil, etc. Also what's it sit at when doing 70, might be worth checking clutch. I'm no hyper Miler, but for comparison, today's run up...

oh woh as me the shame of it all. got a puncher, something decided to get close and personal with the side wall. :( I've had to drive round on the space saver for a day while waiting for a new tyre to arrive. I feel so dirty.

Hit it with a hammer. It's the solenoid that's seized, a new one is the best fix but they can be serviced if you are feeling brave.

Get yourself one of these for rinsing (don't use the brush, scratchy). 8L Portable Pressure Washer Sprayer https://amzn.eu/d/chpP13t 8L Portable Pressure Washer Sprayer https://amzn.eu/d/chpP13t i use a wheel cleaner and protector spray but it isn't needed, I useoit because I have it. I use...

I could go on and on about 2 bucket methods and crazy stuff that people think is needed but for a basic clean that's all. It's a good time to inspect stuff as far as I'm concerned. O do like a clean car though.

I'd use an air horn. ? Brrrrrrrrrrrrppppppp.

Wash your car, it's half hour and it helps you spot problems like rust in the arches or wobbly bits. Get a bucket, get a noodle (not a sponge), and get some soap. Get an old t shirt to dry it after your done. Rinse with a hose pipe first to knock b off the big bits. Do not do you noodle and...

Doesn't matter, its a horn, it work either way. Beep beep.

Glad you got it sorted. Sorry the garage was a bit crap.

couple of options but I'd check to make sure the flaps are moving correctly in the heater box, you can see them through the pollen filter housing and there is also a tell tale (I think) on the side of the box.

find the next size up of torque bit and tap in to the screw with a hammer then undo (carefully). if that fails it's on to the next least destructive, try the same with a hex key. after that it's cutting a slot across the screw to undo it with a big ass screwdriver then it's time to break out...

the micra steering wheel controls are 3 wire (1 common 2 sensor). I haven't put one in yet but I think an additional resistor on one wire to change the return voltage to the head unit should allow the sensor wires to be connected and work as a two wire system assuming the headunit you get has a...
