1989 Nissan Micra LS review from North America
"A great bargain for around town use"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The head gasket failed at 120000 km.
The power transistor failed at 100000 km.
The ignition has an intermittent "no spark" problem I am trying to fix. It is not the power transistor or coil assembly.
General comments?
This has been a great little car.
I hope to fix this problem using used parts.
New part prices are outrageous.
The power transistor costs $175 CAD.
The car was rust proofed and now shows very little rust.
