  1. I would have that checked out as sounds like either the caliper is loose or the pads are missing the anti-rattle shims in the pads
  2. I would first check the fuel filter - replace if in doubt Otherwise sounds like the turbo variable vanes are gummed up with carbon but this usually puts the engine into limphome mode accompanied by an amber engine warning lamp on the dash
  3. Could be faulty battery or pedal switch Have you tried pushing the clutch down as far as it can go? Also depress brake pedal at the same time
  4. I would check with the Nissan parts department and they should be able to advise if it is seperate item Always has been many years ago on most cars but you never know whether it is a sales pitch to clear old stock You could try eBay for a secondhand one
  5. The only listing I can find is for UK models but may share transmissions https://www.castrol.com/en_gb/united-kingdom/home/product-finder.html?page=recommendedProducts&id=1468
  6. Hi...welcome to the Club That's unfortunate to occur within such a short space of ownership - no chance you bought it from a trader and can get the repairs done free? - OBD2 Diagnostic Trouble Code P246F means that Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 1 Sensor 4) has been detected - That's what he should be looking for and it will be in the exhaust (possibly on top of the front pipe area)
  7. Hi....welcome to the Club The early Micra's certainly do have quite a following nowadays and fast becoming a future collectors car. Unfortunately, we don't (yet) organise any rallies but feel free to put something together if you can get enough Micra owners on here to attend.
  8. 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
  9. Hi.....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!

  12. Great van....used to own a petrol version many years ago Not seen a camper version though.....any pics?
  13. The first thing I would look for is a vacuum leak somewhere in the induction side of the engine. Look also for any exhaust leaks as this can throw the sensor to the maximum limits then overfuels as it senses a lean mixture. Lastly look at the coolant temperature sensor readings as if this is out then it can be sensing engine is cold
  14. I have fitted struts from Autodoc to a range of vehicles and never had any issues https://www.autodoc.co.uk/spares Not sure if they have your vehicle in there but worth a look
  15. Does it improve quite quickly? e.g. when the engine comes off choke (as it used to be in the past - now open loop to closed loop on the lambda sensors) as this may be the issue
  16. You can get a stainless steel one custom made for not a lot of money....check on eBay for sellers https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2499334.m570.l1313&_nkw=+nissan+juke+nismo+rear+silencer&_sacat=131090
  17. Can you post up a photo of what you can see in the end of the valve?
  18. Hi.....welcome to the Club Sounds an interesting project - feel free to post updates and let us know how you're getting on with it all
  19. You don't say what year the car is but for my money I would recommend that the turbo variable vanes are cleaned using a specialist cleaning solution. Once this is done then it needs a proper hard run, not short-shifting on the gears but holding the revs up before shifting which will give the engine chance to clear its lungs. Basically the carbon build up in the engine (EGR was testament to this occurring) and the turbo sounds clogged up also. Listed below are links to cleaning products on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331754313002?itmmeta=01J3JT0ARSVRG19F0E89P969TC&hash=item4d3e19152a:g:h5EAAOSw4Ehag~qM&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0LTnITF3WGt3YJY4GI1hUKC%2BXP8ZHDRtSSnJ0dz0Rze3oyI4yeaUUtHVxMrZSc8hqxwfqLisgsWyg85fXSsypUG5TEPjryqdAfyY7W0poyavbKcZLCIPwk1KgAFZO6qaGbOFjvn1RJum1QmKPRgTz5T3wr1RkbfI2niLRxM5%2FHUmI3a19zKlItfpQ8dEqr7WSsZtiOO12fmwelgmXZ%2BWxQSEopwQ2bGvgZJsvk%2BEomby%2BYQQ9uGCpQNFJh2sOFE%2FRgKXXEAEicjKF7Fru2L8AsE%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8CsgdqcZA https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323958600044?itmmeta=01J3JT0ARVD0SDHSEBS2XS4RF5&hash=item4b6d6ff16c:g:basAAMXQfvlSg4~P&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8MH81HR74rsuLLW6RBEnYbAOqZYRUJYaoT%2Bm13iI9d2GPBy%2BYMVauztqaiv2BhPDSQiUmH0mc8p9%2BlYvVgxiOqgQxqzxbULCTfwUvJO2BKw62hwA9eHFvDJaQPDJNL41sKqqH%2BtHdNHn994uhyIpMHCRj%2FsMAhrUEAFcWY%2FGnPf7AajOJv26HNE8JABGeaYZ1IyMJbV2HR%2B0aKL31GMCxHH3f64fVwTk8nlZRGNPeYmAFgEZrm4ne3oEDEiXKmrFLXhk3NLlGLDqex6gCZzr0e5xoFWhPsjRLqfMB2FvJfhJJbMRIwliczhp4cFCUmWn3A%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8KsgdqcZA
  20. The O2 sensor 2 is usually located past the Catalytic Converter and measure the output (e.g. efficiency of the Cat) it may be either the sensor or possibly even something simple as an exhaust leak which can throw the sensor out of range
  21. Halfords I believe sell universal horns which will fit
  22. I use Castrol Oil Checker to get the correct specs https://www.castrol.com/en_gb/united-kingdom/home/product-finder.html Most importantly (rather than the grade) is the API/ACEA specs (such as C3 or A5/B5)
  23. Would be worth checking the intercooler for damage and also the hoses/pipes that are connected to it A visual inspection may uncover the fault and costs nothing to do
  24. Sounds like it could be an intercooler (or one of the hoses/pipes) that may be holed, split or not reconnected
  25. More than likely have to remove the grille assembly to gain access
