Thank you! Not had boot access on my disabled mum's car for months... had our local mechanic look into it at the cost of £40, nothing. Now I've got the parts coming for £20 and can open it manually while I wait for the parts... Legend! Also love that you put text instructions on your videos, brilliant!

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You're very welcome, I'm glad it helped !

[@ChrisWood-js5vy]

Thanks so much for this! I couldn't find the manual boot release switch, because I didn't realise the little plastic cover could be popped off. It was driving me crazy! Your video made it all incredibly clear and easy. Thank you!

@@screwsnutsandbolts I've replaced the latch but boot still won't open with button. Do you know what else I can try. Only have after market key.

Any chance can you upload a video on how to change the indicator bulb on the internal Dashboard please. I love the playlist you have. Keep going!!

Thanks, I did that already: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZK7pZavfL-ih7M

[@biscuitbiterla]

Thanks for all the helpful videos! Occasionally I can't open the tailgate at all, is there a way of knowing whether I'd need to replace the tailgate handle or lock?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks, it sounds like the switch in the handle is faulty but it's hard to tell, especially when the problem is intermittent. Can you feel the button in the handle click each time you press it or does it seem soft at times or not click occasionally ?

[@biscuitbiterla]

@@screwsnutsandbolts thank you for the reply! Yes I definitely feel the in-and-out clicking on the handle, it's the lock that unlocks some days and doesn't on others.

[@deejaymo2679]

​@@biscuitbiterlaI have the exact same problem. Sometimes it just randomly unlocks itself while I'm driving

Hi. Thanks for all these K12 videos. Could you please do one on replacing the fuel filler flap locking mechanism, ours has broken and I’ve had to remove the flap as there’s now no way to keep it closed. Thanks in advance.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Is the inner catch broken or part of the flap, or the cable ?

[@rstmg60]

@@screwsnutsandbolts Thank you for taking the time to reply. It’s the inner catch that the fuel flap clicks into and the cable pulls to release it, not the lever in the car. Our fuel flap won’t click shut so have had to remove it to get through an MOT.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You're welcome. Does the catch move in and out of the body when you pull the lever ?. If it does, could the metal receiver on the flap itself be bent out of shape ?

[@rstmg60]

Had a quick look and it appears to be correctly shaped but something seems to be missing that would latch the flap, is there a plastic part in there? If so then that part is broken/missing. I’ll need to replace that part, obviously it’s bolted on from the outside but I’m not sure how to get behind it to unhook the cable.

[@rstmg60]

@@screwsnutsandbolts Sorry, wrote a reply and I’m sure it went but can’t see it. There doesn’t appear to be a catch, is it plastic? If so it broke off. There’s nothing for the flap “prong” to click into just a hole where it should be.

[@LilifaGaming]

Hiya my boot wont open but im not sure if i need to replace the mechanism? How would i be able to tell if that is faulty? 😊

[@konstanting3400]

Just wondering if you can lock this up same way? 🔒🤔

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I think it only releases the catch

[@nodarkthings]

I have an older Micra and it doesn't have that white switch. Any ideas?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

What year is your Micra ?

Thanks !

[@claudialenz5325]

Nissan from 2004;)

[@omerkaratas5875]

Which year is this car

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

This is a 2003 K12 Micra

[@amigachris]

Typically it's a Renault part that fails, pity they didn't just use a key and cable release like the old models....

[@nodarkthings]

Typical! Mine doesn't have one!
