  Motor was returned end of October in time for our holiday we did 1100 miles or so during the holiday no problem and the car was returned to the garage for first service and the LPG setting up (engine supplier had advised not to use LPG for the first 1000 miles). It run fine for another 200 miles and then started running rough and mpg dropped by nearly half.

• Nissan Micra (2003 - 2010) - 2004 1.2 intermitant engine fault 14 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  When I drove it again it ran smoothly for the first few miles and then the power would die intermittent on off on off. Several times on the motorway I had to pull over and then when started up again it would run perfect. I had a full service new plugs etc. The fault continued so I took it to a garage and after leaving it with them for 3 days I was told it was a coil so it was replaced. The following day the car continued to run the same.
