Micra no start - doctorchris
Had to help our salaried doctor start his Micra on Friday. It is a 1996 and pretty basic, probably a 1.0L. He promises me it is serviced once a year.
Once started (by using about 25% throttle) it seemed reluctant to continue to tick over unless slight pressure on accelerator pedal. Suggests a fault in the cold start mechanism. Any thoughts?

Sounds likely that it's flooded -- very common on these. Try a forum search (it's on the right hand side).

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
