- Manual Clutch WearModerate
Micras used primarily in the city often suffer from premature clutch wear, leading to a high biting point or slipping.
- Bulkhead Drain Blockage and Water IngressModerate
Leaves and debris can block the drains below the windscreen, causing water to leak into the cabin and damage electrical components.
