  1. I don't believe you do just for the mechanical pump being replaced
  2. Hi Chris....welcome to the club would love to see some photos of these fine machines and they certainly do sounds like a labour of love (and lots of money as well) Good to have you onboard!
  3. Hi.....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!
  4. Hi.....welcome to the Club I believe there is a variant of the Nissan van (Vanette) range over the years, although not sure of prices or availability
  5. Halfords may be able to point you in the right direction if they don't have that colour in stock
  6. It does sound as though the battery has a dead cell and more than likely needs testing and replacing if necessary Check also any earth leads are intact and no corrosion on the terminals
  7. Try the SatNav Store or others like it that sell replacement SD Cards
  8. I would check / replace the transmission oil and see how that improves it (or not)
  9. sometimes, pads that are loose in the caliper carrier (lack of fitting shims) can cause this noise. Also, suspension bushes which allow minimal amount of play can also cause a noise when braking. I would at least check the pads and also any mountings and bolts in the brakes and suspension
  10. This is something you should refer to a garage in case it is a worn suspension or brake component which could be dangerous
  11. It might be worth taking the door panel off and seeing what is occurring with it, may be a loose connection or corrosion - something quite simple and easy to fix possibly
  12. Hi....welcome to the Club You can get a kit to polish the headlamps and is quite easy although does require a bit of elbow grease
  13. Halfords and eBay both have a good range of replacement audio head units (such as Sony, JVC, etc) and should be able to source aftermarket connection leads to make it all work
  14. It depends on what year it is but otherwise it may be controlled by the BCM (Body Control Module) - put hazards on and see/feel where the clicking is coming from
  15. I believe you could bypass it if you can't find a replacement. Using copper pipe to take the regulator out of use.....which if you are not carrying heavy loads then it should be fine for normal use. Quite whether it will pass an MOT I'm not too certain but if the braking efficiency is fine then it should be okay
  16. Try gently banging the motor under the dashboard area because the motors fail when the brushes wear out and you can usually get it to turn (evenly slowly). If it does kick into life then its the motor that needs replacing
  17. bad earth to the headlamps possibly - check all wiring back from the bulbs and if there is a common earth point on the body panels or chassis area, then check this for damage or corrosion
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. 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
  23. 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)
  24. 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.
  25. 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
