New Micra shock breakdown! - Blue {P}
Was been driven in a mate's brand new (well 5 day old) new shape Nissan Micra 1.2 today when it stalled, upon restarting it the car wouldn't manage more than 30 mph, and the engine was making a loud clattery, slapping noise and vibrating a lot in it's mountings, not a hpappy bunny at all.

The RAC came to the house and said that there was a lot of noise from around the inlet manifold, but as he couldn't fix, he dragged it off to the dealers. Still not sure what it was as he only got it to the dealers at about 5pm, so it probably won't get looked at until tommorow...

I'm pleased I bought a Ford now, so much more reliable :-) But I suppose in Nissan's defence, the RAC man said that this was the first time he had a new Micra go kaput all together, the only other one he attended was a battery problem...

Oh, and to give the RAC their due, they were there within 30 minutes...
