  • Hard Starts

    Hello, I have a Nissan Micra K11. He stood from Saturday evening until Monday morning at 8 am without driving. This morning he didn’t go on or started again. Lamps went on, lights worked. Now I tried again. Same problem. A little gas, then he ran. Dangers is also without problems. I already have an appointment in the workshop (I have no idea of cars), but this is only in 9 days. Can I drive or do it like this I’d rather leave my car standing? What could it be and what cost come to me?

  • Question about N-CVT transmissions

    Hello together, have the following symptoms with the Micra K11, Built 96 1.0 with the N-CVT transmission. The transmission works really well, but if you want to switch from D to R or vice versa it only works with force. If you wait for something in N position then it usually works easily. As if the coupling does not separate properly, when switching from D to R e.g. you notice that he wants to backwards. I put the plug off from the coal holder then goes butter-soft to switch in all directions. After that I have the coal I didn’t dare to blow the inside where the coals run out (you can do that or should do that ). I have the fear that the carbon brushes will not become completely electricityless and therefore the coupling will not separate, which would explain why it is going well if it is plugged off. Maybe the micro switch does not separate correctly (but I have no idea where the seat is located ). l is new, car has run 68,000 and no errors are displayed. Problem is from the beginning ( about 1.5 years ) since we have the car. If someone has any tips about this problem ( maybe I can measure something on the plug ) or regarding the cleaning of the grinding rings or where the switch is located. I know that this transmission is very fragile so please no instructions about it 😉 I did a lot of research but not found much about it. Thanks in advance Lg Fredi

  • I want to buy motorcycle

    Hello I don’t know exactly which subforum is right, I ask here, if not appropriate, please delete. Length story short, in one month I have exam for A driver’s license. If I get through, of course I want to buy motorcycle. Workmate recommended me K100/75 or F650, which says they are cheap because ugly therefore young people no buck, but good mopeds. I don’t care ugly, main thing reliable and not so difficult to make smaller repairs by myself. from, the uglier of the better, is not stolen. Small problem is clear, finances. Especially for the first motorcycle I find so 2000€ ok. I also want to drive longer distances, so Italy, France maybe Prague and Barcelona etc… Speed is not so important to me, I think 150kmh rich me. Except in Germany, where else can I drive faster than 120kmh?!? I don’t want such a racing machine anyway, I see motorcycle as a means of transportation. cm small, does wind protection matter at all? I have no idea, I have driven at most 80kmh until now. I think I can also put up a seat? Besides 50’s scooter, I have already 50’s, I have driven only mt07 and Kawasaki er6, but I don’t like (so-called naked bikes? Not my ding) Please recommend for cheap reliable motorcycle? I have time, I can also buy next year, maybe I find good offers in winter.

  • 125ccm scooter light-duty approval not possible

    Hello, I registered a 125cc scooter about 1.5 years ago. (Aprilia Sportcity 125) At the registration (wanted as a light motorcycle) the lady told me at the registration office that a registration as a light motorcycle is not possible because probably an indication in the vehicle letter would not give. I then registered the 125ccm as a motorcycle. But now I would like to give the scooter to my brother who does not have a motorcycle driver’s license. Unfortunately I can not remember where exactly d can I understand this somehow and clarify it in advance? Ps. Calling the registration office and asking is of course not – authority! Greeting and thank you! Marko

  • Does a BMW K fit me?

    Good morning, I wanted to buy a BMW K 75 and then eliminate the maintenance room. It costs “only” 650€.It is a great and robust motorcycle in my eyes. However, you would have to drive for over an hour to pick it up and I’m afraid that it is too hard for me because I weigh only 65 KG and I’m 1.67 tall. I can’t even hold the Nevada from the father, only with great trouble, or to pick it up. I have doubts so I wanted to ask here. Thanks for the answer.

  • Advice and help sought by social or self-driver to ride in extreme heat

    Hello everybody, I have a question for you, especially for you guys and self-drivers. My husband and I have been riding motorcycles for a long time, but have put the nice hobby in the back for our daughter for quite a while. That’s why we were of course all the more pleased, because our daughter opened us around Easter that she wants to ride with us and in front of everyone with your friend. After some back and forth we have a used but well-preserved out-of-home I’m really surprised how disciplined our daughter is about it. She attracts your complete equipment every time, even if it only goes to the gas station or friends or a meeting place. And even if not everyone from the clique is on the way in complete equipment, our daughter knows no exception. So our daughter also wants to visit your friend this week after school and then My husband and I have been on the road in textile for years and also avoid the midday heat and at temperatures above 30 degrees we prefer the air conditioning in the car, so we can not contribute much to the topic from our own experience. Our daughter was on the road with your friend again today and has recently come home. The inner lining of your combination is wet and she is also quite groggy. We give her the But we are also a little concerned about the well-being of our daughter and the following questions surround us: – Up to what temperatures are you still travelling in complete leather combo? – Does not such a leather equipment heat up insanely in the sun or does the leather seem rather insulating? – What can we advise our daughter so that she doesn’t feel too much and then risk dizziness or a heat stroke? In front of all because as a social worker you get only little wind… Greetings Nicole

  • With B196 soon abroad? Revision of the EU driving licence regulation planned.

    The EU Commission is planning to launch a new version of the EU driving licence regulation at the end of 2022. e regulation also provides, for example, that EU countries may allow for the exceptions we know of for their territory, in order to also lead two-wheelers of class A1 with the driving licence of class B. This initiative is not primarily concerned with this issue, but that bureaucrats could be animated to do so. The roadmap for this legislative initiative is currently in the public participation phase. Companies, organisations, associations and all EU citizens can send their suggestions for consideration to the EU Commission by 21 May 2021. I would ask you to make good use of it! You can submit the comments in any official language of the EU. I myself already have a very extensive one. It is only important that you do not refer directly and very specifically to the B196 regulation in Germany (with which the EU Commission has nothing to do with it), but rather to the driving of A1 two-wheelers with class B as such and the currently missing legal bases for mutual recognition in EU law, which would result in considerable disadvantages. e.g. something beneficial in the direction of positive environmental aspects (e.g. lower consumption, less traffic density in cities, promotion of electric mobility of A1 two-wheelers, etc.) as well as the current disadvantages in freedom of movement and freedom of movement, small border traffic and cross-border commuting, which have arisen from the lack of mutual recognition of these derogations at the moment. This is because its exception, e.g. German, Austrian, French, Belgian, is not recognised in the other EU country (despite its “course” in the country of origin), and therefore it is unnecessarily discriminated against or, depending on the EU country, would be forced to exchange its driving licence. Since this stage is also concerned with an impact assessment, it is also recommended to comment, for example, which has an economic, social, environmental or fundamental rights advantage. Thus, I hope that now I have already given you enough key points to employ the bureaucrats in Brussels a little. Please comment on this proposal. You will find the process and the comment function (after registration) under this link of the European Commission:https://ec.europa.eu/…/…ision-of-the-Direct-on-Driving-Licences

  • 76-79 cadillac Seville lower

    Hello, I would like to buy a 76-79er cadillac seville. Originally I had to buy an 80-84er coupe deville before me, but because of the bad feedbacks about the engine installed by cadillac I got back from this idea. After some research I came across the seville, which I now also like better. My question to you here in the forum is whether there is a possibility to put this series of seville a little deeper so that the car a little bit more lo wrider look get. I haven’t found it on the net yet. I only found a picture at pinterest on which I think the car is a bit deeper. I would be very happy about feedback. Greetings from Berlin Andreas

  • Evoque newcomer: Keyless Entry retrofittable and other questions…

    Hello together. My first post in the Evoque Forum.?? Previously active with other manufacturers. Hope that I get one or the other answer to my question here. My Evoque: SD4 Dynamic Bj 05/12 My questions: 1. Is Keyless Entry retrofittable if Keyless go is available? How do I know if I have Keyless Entry? The dealer is not an LR dealer. Must the key be learned or somehow set in the menu 2. Is it so desired that the passenger seat is not in height ve Is it possible?? 3. Is it so wanted that there are no handles if you have a panoramic roof? 4. Model designation and emblem to be removed easily by feeding hot air? That’s it for now. Hope you can help me. Thank you!

  • To all newcomers and grown-ups

    Before I leave the forum, I would like to make a contribution for the best. I have also recently been there and was very euphoric about the forum. I have also been able to take some of the different topics with me. What I liked, I appreciated and tried to comment on. Since I don’t have the time to search through all the -feeled- 500 different topics on the search bar, I have allowed myself to simply set a post. Answers like meaningless, head-shape I don’t need to say hello, ills, briefings about forum rules. Therefore, my decision to go back to my old Mini Cooper Works forum. You’re more respectful about each other. I would also have liked to go to a meeting of the Wokis, but probably I would have been “made” about the wrong clothes. As a tip for all future newcomers: Read everything before to find the right thread in which your post is posted. I can’t wait to hear from you. I’m not the first to get these sometimes school-mastered reprovings against the line. I prefer to sit in my Evoque and enjoy the time. The mega-mega-gridest car ever. I woke up tonight and ran to the window to see if he’s still there. So you can make a person happy. Oh, one thing still bothers me: that Axl Rose has become a singer at AC/DC.
