    Universal centralisation Micra k11

    It looks as if it may be something to do as a project. Getting the solenoids into the doors and connecting to the locking mechanisms could be a challenge.

    Oil on air filter, what could it be?

    No problem. I've just seen your youtube channel as well.

    Oil on air filter, what could it be?

    Check the pcv valves are not blocked and the breather hoses. Within the air filter box there should be a pcv filter. This is about 1"x 1/2" white (probably black now!) slotted in. It could well be missing and this will let oil into the filter housing.

    No pressure in cooling system

    Some decrease would be normal once refilled. There may be an airlock once this clears the level will go down. When you take the oil filler cap off is there creamy white gunge on the underside?

    No pressure in cooling system

    Could well have been a badly maintained cooling system. Unlikely to have ever been flushed. Maybe different types of antifreeze had been used in the past. There are now several types on the market some which shouldn't be mixed with others may have caused a chemical reaction. Now you have...

    heater blower

    If you don't have Aircon and haven't checked already it maybe the pollen filter blocked. It's hidden behind the glove box as is often forgotten. Also check the lever and cable for air direction is working. The blower is unbolted and drops out from under the dashboard.

    Body localised spraying.

    Now finished the spraying, the paint is reasonable match considering 20 years of fading with the original. I bought the paint from paints4u. They supply kits with all you need for repair jobs.

    Body localised spraying.

    Hi I'm now on to carrying out a few paint repairs. I bought a spray paint kit (5 years ago) in Tornado grey. The roof channels and the tailgate shut at the roof line required attention. Roof channel completed

    I can't find my Micra online anywhere?

    Hi The value can be more set to what someone wants to pay. Looking on eBay recently I've seen K11's up for £2500. There is the odd tempest pop up as well. There is a market still for small auto's. Unfortunately with no MOT a buyer cannot legally drive it away limiting to who would purchase...

    Classic car shows

    Looking to the preservation of our Micras there are now Classic Car Shows that cater for cars made before 2000, which the K10 & K11 now come into this category. Previously these were pre 1960, 1970, & 1980. They are mainly static events but a good source of promoting up and coming classics...

    Pollen filter

    If you have the glovebox lid off and there are no dotted cut lines or a narrow vertical panel about the centre of the heater there is probably no filter. Facelift K11's didn't have a filter if there was Aircon fitted.
