Overview

i have a 54 plate micra that i am having starting problems with i had recovery out and he is saying its timing chain stretch i am trying to get it repaired but no one seems interested in the job because its engine out job can any one have any suggestion please desperate in leeds

This is a common issue. Mirrors are same as ones on Leaf. We had one mirror changed under warranty. Other one does it sometimes so I sprayed silicone into the housing which eventually seemed to help. Sheet over door first or drips will be messy. Dealers know about it, must be a manufacturing issue. Try pushing mirror out as you unlock or fold with button on door to coax it. No reason why nee one will not eventually go that way. Mine had about same mileage with the issue.

Thank you Flapster bought a set from Amazon

Hello, i recently bought the 2022 kiiro edition, and since i live in iceland it was imported and the entire owners manual front to back is either in german, french or i believe dutch. is there anything i should know about the micra k14, and if so please do tell!

Hi, my daughters 2009 micra, recently purchased, has no overdrive. Anyone had experience of a faulty switch possibly? chris

It's now done this a couple times in cooler weather. I finally caved and we took it into a mechanic earlier in the week and they can't find anything wrong with it. If anyone has any ideas let me know. Thanks

If I were you, I would get a refund and walk away as far too many alarm bells ringing on this one and loads of work to do on the car. They are not that rare, although to find one in really good condition is worth buying and possibly hanging onto as a future classic

Hi everyone , first post here although been registered since God knows how long. Just bought a Micra k11 Activ 1.4 2001 , 87k from an elderly gent. Few bits and pieces need doing, nothing major. 11 months MOT. Paid for it , took the logbook and receipt signed by the owner saying I paid for it. I had to leave the keys with the owner as he had a lot of stuff to take out and I was very late for work. The car is an hour away from me and arranged to pick it up in a few days. Got a call from him today saying he used the car ( he shouldnt have ) and the exhaust has gone. It did have a slight leak when I bought it. He's now saying it's very loud and not really driveable and his brother in law who is a mechanic is advising him to scrap the car. He's offered me my money back by bank transfer ( although I have lost a bit of time and money in fuel costs , Dartford crossing fees etc) then I will send him back the V5 / log book by post. I said I will call him back tomorrow as I was working when he called. Afaic it's my car now , although as I said , he has the car outside his place and the key. I'm really not sure if he is telling the truth as he said when I looked at the car he had a lot of interest in the car, which im sure was true, I just got their first , a matter of hours after it was first advertised. It wasn't expensive at all , not much more than the scrap price. I'm wondering if he has had a substantially better offer for the car from someone else. It does have some corrosion on the roof and higher up on the vehicle from birds poo that was left for a long period of time and ate away at the paintwork but seems solid on the doors and sills and has passed the MOT without any fails or advisories for the last seven years which does make me suspicious as his brother in law does all the work on the car and works at or owns a local garage. The drivers door window keeps coming off the runner and the e/ window switch has been disconnected so it can't be used. A couple of other jobs to do but nothing major. The interior is lovely , , in very good order. My question(s) are : Is this model rare these days ? Is it worth anything ? I didn't even know it was a 1.4 Activ until I was there and about to buy it. Do I have the right to decide if I want to keep the car? He is saying it's better he scraps it and gives me my money back. It's a long way for me to go just to check if he is telling the truth but when I suggested rather than he send me my money back by bank transfer and I post him the log book back , I go there to his and get the cash back and give him the log book back by hand ( I can then check to see if the exhaust really is that bad ) he was against the idea saying the first way is better as it saves me making a long journey. I will have to speak to him later today and not sure it's worth spending the time sorting out the bits on the car and fighting to get the car. I was half and half I had my made the right decision buying it as I don't have much time or mechanical knowledge to do most of these repairs. Just depends if the car is sought after and worth anything as to whether I insist on the keys and taking the car. Any advice on the above would be appreciated asap.

Hello all, My fiance drives a 2015 Micra. For the last few months it's stalled on hot days. It can drive for hours on the highway and once we get in town stalls at a stop light or roundabout. It almost feels like it's running out of gas or vapour lock. If we let it sit a while it will start right up. Does anyone know what causes this? I'm assuming it's a sensor but the car isn't giving any codes. Thanks Blair

Hello - I have an issue with the turbo wastegate actuator connecting rod rattling. Can be heard when coming off the throttle. Is this a common issue with the K14 1.0l petrol turbo? I see that aftermarket anti-rattle clips can be used to press the rod to the actuator arm - do these work and does anybody have a supplier recommendation? Is the rattle a sign that the turbo is on its way out and a refurbishment required? Many thanks, Matt.

Just aquired 2003 Micra Tempest. No owners manual! Would like to find how to open bonnet!

Afternoon all,new here so go easy on me Right I have a 2010 3 door micra anyone any ideas pics etc on removal of the air vent n/ s I have one coming in the post at some point and intend getting it swapped out Thanks in advance Mark Ps please note pic is o/s but would presume same procedure n/s

Maybe clean the sensors and also check each one for a feint clicking noise when in reverse and the ignition on (ensure engine not running)

Can you swap the wheel from the other side (should be secured by one screw in the middle - possibly a cover over the top of the screw?)

I have a 2018 micra who's passenger seat doesn't recline. It is a manual wheel style. Any ideas. Please?

Hi all, I have a Micra Urbis 2005 and when I'm parking the rear parking sensors make a constant unchanging beep no matter how close I get to the object behind. Is something faulty or is it's just the way it is? If it's faulty any idea how to fix it? Thank you Rali

Seems like the connections may be the wrong way round (possibly?)

Hey folks. Been trying to fit a rev gauge, I followed a video that has the exact same gauge but isn't working correctly. It has power and does it's little calibration when I turn on the ignition, but when the engine is running the needled does not move. Videos show's what I mean. https://videy.co/v?id=FuMqxdoE

how did you get on with it? I can imagine it was a pig of a job to remove the door lock latch mechanism

2005 Micra and unable to open drivers door from the inside, managed to access lock all cables attached and when you pull the inside cable the lock does not release, the outside door handle works ok so guessing internal fault with mechanism itself. now the challenge how to get the mechanism out, window mechanism is in the way and I cannot fathom out how to move it out of the way, any advice welcome thanks

thank you. found one from a breaker.

The part number is 23150-bc40a Oops sorry that's the pulley, will try and find tensioner

Hi all Hope you can help. Just got rid of my Fiesta because of the wet belt issues. I'm about to purchase the 1.0 DIG-T 117 N-Sport 2019. Please tell me the car does not utilise the wet belt system. I'm not very knowledgeable about cars, so your assistance is most welcome. Anyone, that has a 1.0 DIG-T 117 N-Sport. Have i made a good decision purchasing this model? thanks again

If you take the car, some I.d. and your registration book, to the nissan dealer, proving you are the legal owner, they can get the radio code. No need to take the radio out. There may be a charge, sometimes, it depends on the dealership
