I've recently bought the Mrs a micra k11 1.0 to learn to drive in but since owning it it's refusing to start 1st thing in the morning! I can get it going by removing the lid off the air box and cranking it quite a few times til it fires, it'll then start perfectly for the rest of the day, then same again the next morning! I've googled it but seem to be getting conflicting information. Anyone on here had a similar thing with a micra and knows how to remedy it???

It used to be common for the airflow meter/throttle body wiring inside the unit to have dicky joints. May be worth trying to resolder the joints in there and see if that improves it. Other than that, are the spark plugs ok? If they have gaps that you could lose small children between won't help  |

Do you start the car and move it for a very short distance? There is a well known problem with them that causes overfuelling if you run the engine for a very short period of time, which in turn makes it hard to start next time.

I take it this is fuel injected?
Can you hear the fuel pump when you initially before you crank it? If you can, I'd be tempted to 'prime' the fuel system by turning the ignition of an off around 3-4 times with 10 second intervals between them and see if it then starts.
The cheapest thing to change, especially if the mileage is low is the fuel filter which could be gummed up inside. That is if the above works.

i would check if you have wet plugs.
if it starts by letting more air in/taking the air filter cover off etc then I'm guessing that there is something about too much fuel entering the chamber.
you might have unburnt fuel in the chamber waiting for you in the morning before you even start the car, for whatever reason..? leaky injector?
on a cold morning, find the fuse for the fuel pump and pull it out. turn the car over a few times without the pump running to clear the piston chambers. hold the throttle down so that they are filled with air.
put the fuse back in and turn it over and see if it helps start innit.
