Common problems and easy repairs on a 2005 Micra

The 2005 Nissan Micra dCi is a relatively easy vehicle to maintain. Changing the headlight with reliability is no problem, as you only have to reach behind the housing to access the bulb. Changing the engine air filter is easy to do, as one cover must be removed in order to reach it. The engine coolant reservoir is easily visible in the engine bay, allowing you to check the fluid level on a regular basis.

Some things are problematic on the 2005 Nissan Micra dCi. You will have to use many tools to remove the entire glove box housing to gain access to the cabin air filter. Changing either front turn signal will require the use of a panel tool to help you pry out the housing. The brake fluid reservoir is tightly wedged in the engine bay, making it hard to check the level markers on a regular basis.
