Is the axle shifting a Micra thing, or is it common with lowering? This is my first car :) Really fun to drive, but the insurance is a joke!

What needs to be done to the panhard rod? Next time you watch the weather forecast, look at that Island right up the top left of Scotland, probably with rain over it:laugh: That's where I am :p

I'm looking to lower my Micra, just with lowering springs as I want to start with something simple. I was wandering if the stock shocks will need to be replaced so that it doesn't bounce about when lowered. (I see a lot of cars that have been lowered without the shocks being uprated, and they...

Lol my Micra doesn't need any more of that kind of comedy. Until today I could only get into it from the passenger side door, which isn't that funny until you know I'm nearly 6 and a half feet tall. My mates already call it the clown car:p I just take that as a compliment on how spacious the...

I'm in a crazy rush so my common sense has taken the back seat in my brain :p Thanks guys, helpful as always. (Y)

I need help getting my winder for my my window off to get the doorcard off the car. I fluked one off, but have no idea how I actually did it:doh: Any help would be much appreciated.

Don't worry I have a torque wrench(Y) Do you mean using a blowtorch? That was air-headed of me to suggest using a hot air gun:blush:

One of my mates has a hot air gun. If I can't get them off tomorrow I'll call in a favour with him.(Y)

I'll reply to this again when I get it done so we can all rejoice. Neighbours might not understand me jumping up with my arms in the air when I get it off.:laugh:

Tried that , and I'm quite the brute :p Gave it a thorough seeing to with a hammer, and nothing.

(Y) Will do. I thought about it long and hard just to make sure I wasn't going the wrong way :laugh:

Went to change my front brake discs today and the caliper bolts just wont budge. Gave them a good spray of WD-40 and left it to penetrate. Went back and still no give in them. Any advice?

...like steering a boat?:laugh:

Any chance that swapping my 1.0L facelift engine for a 1.8 almera engine would work? It'd definitely be worth the effort if it did:p I doubt it though:(

(Y) Cheers man! As helpful as helpful could be:p

Thanks man(Y) Will that cover the whole dash?

I want to make all the interior lights and my sidelights green LED's to match the colour of the car. I've already got one for the overhead light. How many are needed for the speedo, centre console and sidelights all together?

Sorry about that :blush: I remember changing CV's in an auto engineering class when I was 15 and we took the split pin off before removing the wheel. That was the only time I'd taken the front wheels of a FWD and wondered if you had to remove the split pin every-time you removed the front...

Jacked the car up today whilst sorting some exhaust rattle and decided to investigate. Everything else is fine. The disc is visibly warped, which I don't think I've ever seen before. The roads where I live are a joke after the ice. Replacement discs should arrive tomorrow (Y) One thing. The pin...

It must just be that the discs really warped. It's so bad if you take off without steering the car turns pretty sharp towards the side of the warped disc. Replacements are in the post :grinning:
