Nissan is one of the most popular car makers in the world, but few people know it also used to make spacecraft engines. The Lambda 4S-5, an experimental carrier rocket, was developed by Nissan; in 1970, it launched Japan's first satellite into space. Over the years, the brand has bolstered its success by entering a strategic alliance with Renault, a French manufacturer, and Mitsubishi, also based in Japan. The fastest car by Nissan is the GT-R, which can do 0-60 in less than three seconds - a genuinely eye-watering speed.

The Nissan Micra has been a common sight on British roads since the 1980s. Despite undergoing several transformations over the years, the qualities that made it so popular are still present: it's cheap, comfortable, economical and small. 2019 was a successful year for the Micra; it won 'New Car of the Year' at the FirstCar Awards, and Car Dealer Magazine named it 'Used Small Car of the Year'. Although Nissan has issued a few recalls, it's a generally reliable car without any significant known problems.

The cambelt is responsible for synchronising the rotation of the camshaft and crankshaft. Hence, it is also called the timing belt. Often, drivers book a cambelt and water pump change together to save time and money.

FixMyCar has an excellent network of cambelt specialists who will advise you on the best course of action.

Three common signs your cambelt needs replacing are a squealing noise when you start the engine, problems getting your car to start, and a glazed or glossy look to the belt. Although a snapped cambelt is uncommon, tension issues are not. A loose cambelt will whip around the engine, causing knock-on effects, while a tight belt usually causes a whining sound and puts pressure on the bearings of the cogs it is fitted to.

Whether you went to book a regular timing belt replacement or a mobile timing belt replacement, you're in the right place.
