SamKidney Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 The Micras been acting weirdly recently. Increasingly lumpy idle and will cut out on its own occasionally. It was serviced 6 months ago when I bought it and had another oil change at the beginning of the month. It's had plugs but I've noticed it smokes a little in a morning or after a long run.

SamKidney Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 As much as I'd love to, its very cheap to run and uber reliable, which at present suits my situation down to the ground. To say it's done nigh on 110k and have less than £400 in it I can't argue. I think I have a coil pack on its way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartMini Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 bloody car. found the cause of the knocking noise from my front suspension: apparently cheap rose joints dont last long as arb drop links fitted a set of standard links i had floating about, jacked the car up and this happened: WHY make suspension parts out of PLASTIC?!?!?!? Stripped, cleaned and re-greased my coilovers: And im going to personally hunt down and kick in the balls whoever designed this. the trunking for the fuel pipes. Dropped a socket down there, took the header tank out the way, got the socket out with a magnet, then dropped the screw for the header tank down there!

MadManMike Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 My car needs some love before TFTD2. On that note, anyone got any coilovers for a mk1 laying around?

SamKidney Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'd say 14 years and 100k+ on its original coil packs/everything makes it reliable despite the apparent contradiction you've seemed to take note of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
