I just bought 2nd facelift K11 1.0 engine with 79000km on the clock, manual windows, no sun roof. Zero rust like freaking new. 1000 euros. I had micra back in the day like 10 years ago, I noticed the newer one has coil packs and the horsepower rating is a bit higher as well and of course much nicer looks but basically its the same but newer. Rock solid engine on these, easily over 300 000km with regular maintenance. :))

Good concise video matey. Absolutely love k11s, so so so bulletproof and good to work on. I got one for £200 back in 2017 as a second car... Car beat up but full history and low miles. Used it til the MOT expired then it sat for 6 months on my driveway while I decided what to do with it. Decided to give it away to a friend, so took it for an MOT and unbelievably it went straight through. Bought up all the service parts and gave an afternoon of learning a thing or two under the hood. Amazing little car, takes everything thrown at it! I learned to drive in one years ago. I'm keeping an eye out for an original non-facelift for a couple of hundred quid now for the sake of having another one. One thing I do need to do is rust treat that front part behind the bumper as it's super rusty on ours. Cheers for reminding me! Happy new year matey!

I have Nissan micra 1994 Greatings from SERBIA !!!

Hi, thanks for the video! I plan to buy my first car in September and it is Nissan Micra k11. I haven't even seen it yet, hopefully will soon and will look for rust and time chain sounds. I can write more, but it's really better first to see it, as I got in some manic phase since yesterday, when an old neighbor proposed to sell it to me. ( This account is my son's).

Rear suspension spring mounts go rotten. Right pain as rear axle needs dropping and the rot can go up through the turrets. Everything else on mine was ok at MOT bar this big weld and fab job. Please look out for this on these old sweet cars as it will probably be the death of many of them and there is no "cheap fix". Good vid and thanks.

thanks man , very good video.

Thanks for the helpful video, I’ve just got a mechanic job at kwikfit and I’m looking at buying a k11 micra soon but I’ll most likely get a second gen

very useful, nicely presented

Say what you want. I just got a spares and repair for £150 and plan to so a single cam D serise engine and completely gut the car. Also found this video very helpful thanks Bro.

Nice video man!

my mom had one im getting it as my first car and tuning

I would love a Micra.

Good video...i have Micra car 1998 and own from last 15 years.All parts can buy from e bay.

i had a nissan micra, it was rusted through and through, had it for 9 years. was rusted since the start but not as bad as it was eventually. shame, it was a good car. always started, always brought me where i needed to be, always reliable. over the years i hav spent perhaps 500 or 600 euros on it in NINE YEARS. im thinking about getting another one. big cars are nice, but they drink more fuel, im thinking im just gonna get another micra fromthe same era and save more money over the next few years.

Good vid

Forgive me if this is repeated earlier up the comments but 3 common engine faults..Rattling timing chains bring on the engine light...Distributors cause stalling and non starts...and throttle body with inbuilt airmass meter causes sluggish performance.....From a mechanic from back in the day when these didn't rot!!

Great video! Thank you a lot, you deserve my sub and like 😉

Interesting. Our K11 still has a carb. Does the fuel gauge in yours work terrible and read empty at half a tank too? We also noticed a small oil leak from the gearbox/engine. This may be a weak point. Belts and water pump had to be replaced when we bought it at 100k miles, so always worth checking. I love the engine!

Does the first generation facelift support OBD 2? I tried using an ELM327 reader and it failed to connect to the ECU. I thought of buying a more expensive OBD 2 scan tool but want to make sure whether it will work.

My drivers side electric Window had an issue..... I think motor could be on its way out,the window stops at about 1cm to the top & then you have to slide it up by hand? Any advice most welcome☺

hey need a little help, do you have any pic o a diagram o how the hoses are loop that goes to the two matix heater pipes and back to the engine. apparently, someone block them off on the engine i think because the two pipes had split. so the car did not came with any hose. my engine is coil packs.thamks

thanks

in my country those cars go for 2.500 - 3.000 euros and with about 190k km on the clock!

Hi, im from Serbia. I have Nissan micra 2002. Grey metalic. Its going fine, rust the same on mine. I dont know how to remove back seat. Want to do deep cleaning... 😁 And its also hard to find parts for this car in Serbia. 😒

How much did spraying it yellow cost? And what was the original colour?

Engine...inherent issues with throttle bodies, coil inside distributor same crazy design and Don’t go for a CVT automatic, they are woefully bad... Front crossmembers are also an issue, but so easy to replace...if you find a gem with a rotten front crossmember, knock the seller down loads... Micras are so underrated but really great...

Hi! I have a question for my micra k11 It's a 1.4L automatic. I have a P0171 code. The ltft is 25% And the stft rises with the load on the engine. I performed a makeshift smoke test and I didn't notice any obvious leaks. What should I do now?

i have k11 2002 facelift wants these tail lights

Hiya, I’ve got a 2nd gen 2002 and I love it to bits but it’s time to upgrade. Are these two issues easily fixed? 1. Fuel cap release sticking/not working 2. Rear window seal coming off Thank you. Can’t believe I now own a classic 🤣🤣

Great video. 4 years late with my comment but will 2nd gen facelift front headlights fit 1st gen facelift micras ( mine is 1999) ?

Hello thanks for the video.I was planning to buy micra 1997 model i saw the car and it have rust under the car is it a serious issue for not buying

I am looking at one tonight. A 2001 micra with 60PS. Are they alright for driving on the Autobahn? I would be buying it to commute maybe twice a month for a 500km roundtrip and I dont want issues with overheating and whatnot.

if i drank once everytime i heard um i would be in the ICU in a coma. great video though lmao

Do these car have immobilizer

Great video, very helpfull. One quick question please. We are looking at buying a Micra for the Mongol rally and have been offered a 2002 K11 1 litre. There will be 3 of us and loads of luggage (10,000 mile trip). Is there much difference in power between the 1 litre and the 1.2? Should we hold off and look for a 1.2?

Do you have som micra parts for me leadfoot

I was considering buying the 1.5 Diesel, what are your thoughts on that? I know it's terribly slow... But I wanted something cheap and reliable.

Any good sites to get after market support for them?

Where you get your strut bar from?

Had a dead instrument cluster. No gauges working.

Thanks for the info, i just bought the 2002k11 1.0. But the drive shaft or inbore joint is missing the ball race from the hub. Where can i get one or do i have to but the whole cv joint axel .hanks

Hey mate my micra when I try put the key in to open the door it takes a lot of attempts to open

I am thinking to buy k11 micra , 2002 , 82ks , is it fun to drive?

Do you think they're bad for long drives, around 300 kilometers etc. ?

Warm air intake

Owner of Micra for 7 years. Now i got the problem because i cant find distributor that fits my car from 2000. Car is in my garage for 3 months and its frustrating, every time i find the part it doesnt fit. Its killing me.
