    Noise when braking (but not brakes?)

    Quote: “ i don't want a potential safety issue. Looking around on here for similar threads could it be CV, ball joints, bushes, wishbone? I'm just throwing out words as haven't a clue what half these things mean” May I suggest that for peace of mind, you get it to your local car repair/MOT...

    I rather suspect that the original K11 Nissan Micra design engineers & Sunderland factory got the K11 right from the get go in 1992? My 1998 K11 1300cc is all original unmolested & just keeps going with only my simple DIY servicing in my shed every 2 or 3 years & no worries. My K11 still has...

    CV Joint wont pass burred driveshaft, any ideas?

    Quote; “Looks like the old CV joint has been hammered violently onto the driveshaft”. Perhaps the new CV joint has been hammered on in an attempt to fit it without success resulting in the splines damage? Thus the apparently new CV joint internal female splines will be similarly distorted...

    CV Joint wont pass burred driveshaft, any ideas?

    May I suggest try cleaning up splines with some good hard work applied wire brushing in line with the splines? If that is insufficient to remove the debris obstructions, the next option is too clear them with a fine needle file carefully applied in line with the splines. When I DIY changed my...

    K12 Micra Rear Axle Bushes

    Quote: Rear Axle swivel pins and bushes swivel pin and/or bush slightly worn (5.1.2 (b) (i)) The operative adjective is slightly & that in my MOT tester’s words one needs to apply a little experience, judgement & common sense with old (2007) cars & this is therefore an advisory only. :)
