We've got a K12 Micra (2006) and it's having starting issues.
It turns over well but it fails to fire. It was very bad when we had the snow a few months ago but then it's calmed down again until this week.

I've changed various bits, and when it finally does get running it behaves completely normally.
We had a mobile mechanic over as I'd run out of ideas and although he got it started he couldn't work out the issue so we're considering biting the bullet and taking it to a garage (gulp...).

The thing is I hardly ever use garages these days so I have no idea who is trustworthy/cheap/reliable and who will be able to diagnose accurately.
I'm in the Milton Keynes area - can anyone point me in the direction of someone decent?

Many thanks in advance.

That is a common issue with Nissans, but there have been quite a few cases of people spending £100s on getting that fixed only to find it didn't cure their problem.
