ust bought a 2001 Micra Activ. The accelerator is very stiff & heavy, compared to my older 1995 Micra. Travelling in stop-start traffic is quite tiring! Is this typical of some Micras, or does it indicate a problem with the accelerator cable or throttle? Thanks Bruce
Micra: stiff accelerator pedal

I have a K11 (1998) and a K12 (2004) Micra at present and can't say I'd notice any difference between the two. The K12 is an auto, so I'd really notice it if it had a stiff throttle. I guess therefore there must be something wrong with yours.

It is not meant to be patronising, but are you sure there isn't some carpet holding the pedal up? I often come across this on customers cars, many are shocked at the difference in performance after I cut some carpet away !!
No, I've checked this.
