  1. lol...that's the law according to sod !
  2. lol...the Westie will definitely secure the car. It is an easy job to replace the switched, just fiddly
  3. I have rebuilt a few of these fobs before with a kit from eBay but as you quite rightly state....as you get older it gets more difficult to solder miniature components with an iron due to poor eyesight and shaky hands. I'm sure you might find an electronics repair shop to rebuilt the fobs for you as very little cost. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-ALMERA-PRIMERA-MICRA-X-TRIAL-NATS-2-button-Remote-key-Fob-Case-REPAIR-KIT/302184778048?epid=814607479&hash=item465b9dc940:g:0HQAAOSwB09YFOI1
  4. Maybe it would be worth driving down to your local branch and getting them to measure up for you
  5. Here's a link to Halfords wiper blade selection page http://www.halfords.com/motoring/bulbs-blades-batteries/wiper-blades?cm_re=mmmotoring-_-Bulbsbladesbatteries-_-Blades
  6. Hi Sith...hopefully this is the same setup as your Micra? If so, then the adjustment is the scrolled wheel at the top of the self-adjusting ratchet lever (which incidentally must be sat within the slot in the self-adjuster rod between the shoes)....take the drum off and turn the wheel until the shoes just touch the drum and refit...try the handbrake to ensure the drum locks and runs free (with a minimal drag) and that should do it.
  7. Glad you got it sorted
  8. I have found this information for the Suzuki Alto (which is virtually the same car) it is tucked up directly above the 'bonnet pull' handle on the off side and the radio fuse is the blue one right in the corner at the front of this fuse-box.
  9. Hi Andrew....welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard
  10. Has it definitely got a 'Stop / Start' specification battery as these have a deeper cell charge capacity than a standard battery? If so, then I wouldn't worry too much about driving it as is...just won't have the stop/start function which you should be able to switch off anyway
  11. Sorry to hear that .... it does seem that unless there is a trend which is developing over time (e.g. Honda clutches which are as weak as wet cardboard) then it doesn't register as a fault. Rather frustrating on your behalf I would imagine....maybe worth getting it sold whilst it has a new clutch in it?
  12. Glad it worked out okay for you...enjoy!
  13. Gwen & Brian . Did you resolve the clutch issue with Nissan ?
  14. Helen1976 . How did it go with the engine diagnosis?
  15. How's the X-Trail . bluephenex . ?
  16. good point Steve Williams at least that would give an indication of which system is failing, although if it is system failure then the injectors would not open the same as the spark not occurring but at least you would be nearer knowing that it is still able to combust.
  17. Hi Steve...welcome to the Forums I can't believe there are only 34 left on the roads now....used to see so many around but I suppose they are all in the scrapyard in the skies now :-( Good to hear you're keeping another on the road Be good to see a photo of the Prairie if you wish to post one up? Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor
  18. Hi Weeman...welcome to the Forums Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor
  19. Hi Ian Sounds like a slipping auxiliary drivebelt causing the noise. If you gently trickle water over the drivebelts and if the noise disappears then hey presto! replace the belt. Sometimes also it can be a dry tensioner bearing that can create the noise...same test applies here as well. Let us know if this works, Cheers, Trevor
  20. generally it is a combination of station preset buttons and thats it....do you have the handbook at all? If not, then maybe a guide on youtube for your car model, year and radio fitted
  21. Have you looked at any speed sensors that may be in the system....crankshaft, camshaft, etc? Usually when they heat up they fail...worth checking if not already done so.
  22. Hi....welcome to the Forum If you have fitted a quality (branded) Stop/Start battery then it shouldn't be a problem there. I would imagine it does need programming back in but maybe worthwhile driving around for a while to let it settle down and relearn. Let us know how you get on with it
  23. You certainly have a passion for all things Nissan by the sound of it .... thanks for sharing the pictures with us
  24. Hi...welcome to the Forums Sounds like a worn CV joint that's clicking. Sorry, not sure about the windscreen seal though
  25. Hi...welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard and enjoyed watching the videos Cheers, Trevor
