  1. I think I would ask them whilst its in for MOT as to where the leak is likely to be coming from while they have the car in the air Wouldn't think it would affect much in the way of safety if it is just a drop once in a while
  2. Usually, they are held in place by a spring clip which is part of the jet itself. Try gently moving the jet either backwards or forwards against any spring pressure to release the jet
  3. I would advise looking at the Coolant Temperature Sensor as a possible candidate for replacement....it's the time of year for these to fail
  4. That's not a bad price at all especially as it had to be sent off...good result!
  5. Would be worth checking your chassis earth return leads....found a couple of them sheared off on my X-Trail. Look down by the underside of the gearbox to where they connect to the chassis....replace if necessary (cheap and better replacement earth straps in Halfords...did the lot for £10)
  6. lol...that's the law according to sod !
  7. lol...the Westie will definitely secure the car. It is an easy job to replace the switched, just fiddly
  8. 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
  9. Maybe it would be worth driving down to your local branch and getting them to measure up for you
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. Glad you got it sorted
  13. 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.
  14. Hi Andrew....welcome to the Forum Good to have you onboard
  15. 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
  16. 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?
  17. Glad it worked out okay for you...enjoy!
  18. Gwen & Brian . Did you resolve the clutch issue with Nissan ?
  19. Helen1976 . How did it go with the engine diagnosis?
  20. How's the X-Trail . bluephenex . ?
  21. 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.
  22. 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
  23. Hi Weeman...welcome to the Forums Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor
  24. 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
  25. 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
