It would seem, and I would wholeheartedly agree. Although, technically, you could leave all previous weights on a wheel for forever, and just keep balancing it with additional weights as necessary!??? 😂 Not the case here though. All the weights are fresh new. They put both push on weights and stick on weights. Push on weights went to the inside of each wheel. Stick on weights are to the outside behind the spokes on the aluminum mag wheels. And.. as stated.. opposite each other in three of the four, and about 2 hours on the clock location off opposite on the fourth. It’s very weird. I have personally balanced a lot of motorcycle wheels in my life.. and it’s always one weight.

Thanks mate will do. Need to find a few bits and bobs but the car is mechanically sound.

Thank you

Thanks again. I’ve put in new batteries and tried the other fob for a while before. It is so random I am wondering if the door keyless buttons send a signal like the fob or they are hardwired. I’m thinking possibly the rf receiver is getting old and cranky like the rest of us….

Hi. (This site isn’t allowing me to select the Micra Forum). Just acquired (legally) a 2013 K13 Micra, which came without parking sensors. Online options are so numerous, what a minefield! Any advice out there? Anything gratefully received.

Hi, I am in the process of replacing the timing chain and sprockets on my 2015 Pulsar (70k miles). I'm now at the point of taking the sprockets off the camshafts but not sure how I do this. Is is just the bolt in the centre of each sprocket that needs undoing? Standard thread for both? I also now need a workshop manual to find all the torque settings as part of the rebuild. Can anyone provide a link or suggest a good manual to buy? Of course, if anyone has a list of the torque settings they could share, that would be perfect! Finally - any ideas what may have caused the chain and sprockets to wear at this low mileage? The chain had stretched and was noisy. On removal I've noticed the tensioner was ok but the chain was clearly stretched and all sprockets are well worn - particularly on the crankshaft. I have only owned the car for the last 2 years and the car had been regularly serviced prior to that. Sorry for all the questions on my first post but I appreciate all responses. Thanks

Hi all, I have a 2013 D40 Tekna with a factory-fitted reversing camera which is sited under the handle to open the boot/cargo area. The handle has broken and I cannot find a replacement anywhere. All the ones I can find are standard, without a cutout for the camera, which won't fit - I have attached pictures to show the cutout. Has anyone ever had to replace their handle, and been able to find a suitable replacement?

Hello all, I am new to here and hope you can help, my qashqai has developed this issue when starting in the morning, it struggles to start with a funny turning over sound and eventually when it starts there is alot of white smoke and it idles rough but once it is warm it runs perfectly but with still a bit of smoke, I have been looking around the net, I have seen leaking or faulty injector a clogged up PCV valve I did have the Egr valve changed last year that’s all good. It dose feel like it has loss of power but the turn dose feel like it kick still. When it’s warm it sound spot on, by the way it has done 117k,

Hello. I need to remove the original rear vision mirror mount from my nissan pulsar c12 2013 model as the mirror has broken off the mount and I need to replace it with a universal replacement and a glue strip. The mount is glued on and not clipped like the modern mirrors. I have tried breaking the seal gently with a screwdriver and blade but it has damaged the glass on the underside of windscreen. The cracks have not reached the upper surface. I have now tried using string to cut into the seal but i cannot cut right through the seal and it is shearing on glass fragments. I'm wary of using the hairdryer to soften the glue as it may cause more cracks. Any suggestions please? I had thought of using solvent but not sure which is best for this older adhesive. My options are: Fishing line/piano wire to saw through the seal Solvent Heat Go to nissan/rear mirror replacement shop Fix glass Remove old mount or install new mirror above

UPDATE Can anyone tell me if this photo shows that the engine management light bulb is actually missing? If so can this be replaced or do I need a whole new unit? Thanks

Hi. Just reg’d on here. My aunt just bought from a dealer, a 2013 ‘30th Ed’ 1.2 Micra - manual drive (which I’ve just discovered from online world is a K13, though the paperwork doesn’t state this. I drive this myself. When viewing, I asked the dealer what the thin plastic tape wrapped around a rubber pipe (possibly a manifold pipe? - sits just behind the rad’ fan and attaches somewhere under the battery plate…?) is about. He felt it and stated there’s a crack/split in the pipe and that they’d have it replaced. Before collection, by phone, the dealer advised that it wasn’t a split pipe and so doesn’t need replacing. Typhoon, I forgot what his colleague told us about it when we got there, though the gist of it was that it’s normal/standard. What they had done is replaced the thin ad-hoc looking tape with black plastic (insulation ?) tape. Any thoughts on this (tricky w/o a photo I know; can attach one tomorrow). Any K13 owners/drivers out there who recognise this? Thanks in advance.

Cant find a replacement for it and no windscreen wipers mean can't drive it!

Does anyone know why, when I disconnect and reconnect the battery my hardtop opens and closes perfectly, but, when I come to open it next day it won't open until I disconnect and reconnect the battery again

Thanks for giving us feedback on your Juke - its always worth hearing the bad as well as the good points to give a fair assessment of a vehicle. The Jukes have always been a high revving engine due to the transmission gearing but they are better being run at higher revs most of the time to keep the engine from carbon/sooting up, etc

Sounds like water ingress into the electronics or sensors (not sure how deep the water was). If it is allowed to dry out in the sun then possibly it may work then.

Hi again. I took the car for a retest today after having changed spark plugs and oil and adding additive. Emissions are now fine, however, it brought up a previous fault code P03033 which was still on the system although the engine check light was not lit. It turns out that the engine check light never comes on. The centre will not pass the car until I get this sorted. Any advice please?
