A used inlet manifold that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
Yes, all petrol-engined Nissan Micras have an inlet manifold — it is a standard component on naturally aspirated petrol engines, directing air into the engine's cylinders. The Micra has been sold in the UK across several generations (K10, K11, K12, K13, and K14) and all petrol variants across those generations carry one. If you have a diesel Micra (the K13 generation was offered with a 1.5 dCi diesel engine), an inlet manifold still exists but will be specific to that diesel unit, so make sure you are searching for the correct fuel type.
This crosses a generation boundary — the K12 Micra ran from 2003 to 2010 and includes a facelift around 2007, so a 2005 and a 2009 car are both K12 generation but may sit either side of that facelift. Fitment within the K12 depends primarily on engine code, so if both cars share the same engine code (for example the CR12DE 1.2 or CG10DE 1.0) there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but confirm with the breaker against your registration whether ancillary or mounting points changed across the facelift.
No — trim level does not affect inlet manifold fitment on the Micra; Visia, Acenta, Tekna, and other trim grades are distinguished by interior and equipment differences, not engine hardware. What actually matters is the engine code, which will be the same on two cars of different trim but the same engine variant. Give the breaker your engine code (found on your V5C or via a VIN check) rather than your trim name.
The engine code is the single most useful piece of information — it is more reliable than the year or trim name because Nissan fitted several different engines across each Micra generation and even within the same model year. You will find the engine code on your V5C logbook or through a VIN check. Also confirm fuel type (petrol or diesel) and, where relevant, your year within the generation, as minor ancillary or mounting changes can occur mid-production and a breaker can verify this against your registration.
The K13 Micra ran from 2010 to 2017 and was available with manual and CVT automatic gearboxes, but the gearbox type does not directly affect inlet manifold fitment — the manifold is part of the engine, not the transmission. What matters is that you match the engine code; the 1.2 petrol HR12DE and the 1.5 dCi diesel K9K, for example, use entirely different manifolds. Confirm the engine code with your breaker to be sure you are getting the right unit for your specific engine variant.
The K11 ran from 1992 to 2003 and the K12 from 2003 to 2010, and these generations used different engine families — for instance the K11 commonly used CG10DE and CG13DE engines while the K12 moved to CR10DE and CR12DE units. Because the engine codes differ between generations, the inlet manifolds are not interchangeable as a rule. Confirm with a breaker whether your specific engine code appears in both generations before purchasing.
