Nissan Micra 2009: Night driving is difficult

It could well be a fuse, and that’s the first thing to check.

Where's the fuel filler?

It’s on the left rear quarter panel. If you’re unsure check your owner’s manual, it will show it, and how to open it if that’s what you’re unsure of.

Sale prices for a 2011 Micra

The private price guide is $6000-$7500; the trade-in range is $4000-$5500; the dealer would offer around $4000. Yours, having such low kilometres, would be worth the top end of those price ranges.

Changing belts in Micra?

Are you talking about the cam belt, or the belt driving the alternator, water pump and other accessories? If you are talking about the latter it would usually only be changed if it was clearly worn when checked visually. If you're asking about the cam belt, the Micra has a chain, not a belt, so it doesn't need changing regularly. The only reason you might change it was if it was noisy and loose, when there's a risk that it could jump a tooth and damage the engine.

Nissan Micra carpet worn

The Micra is a cheap-and-cheerful car and the carpet is probably also cheap. Having it wear as you have had it frustrating, and it's probably unacceptable in such a short period of time. Having been to the dealer, and to Nissan, and been rejected your only course of action is to consult the consumer affairs people in Queensland.

Slow starting Nissan Micra

Putting the blankets over the engine and bonnet means the engine doesn't cool as much while sitting overnight, so isn't as cold when you come to start it in the morning. I'd say you need a new battery, one with good cold cranking power, as I reckon the drain on the battery as it tries to turn the engine over is too high and the engine isn't getting enough power to start. Once it fires it's fine, that's because it's then not having to power the starter.
