    Can hear rain coming in but cant locate!

    Doesn't have a sunroof. Didn't know if they had weep holes on the doors or sills or something that have been clogged. I reckon its coming from the drivers door as its been adjusted so it doesn't sag anymore. But sound travels! I didn't want water to be collecting anywhere. There is a slight gap...

    Can hear rain coming in but cant locate!

    Hi all, I've noticed recently that I can hear the tapping of rain rather loudly in my left ear as I drive along. This has been after I had a crease on the edge of my door fixed and the door adjusted so it doesn't sag. It's very bizarre! The carpets are dry and the window seals seem fine. Its...

    Stereo Beeping Noise

    Hi all, This ones got me a bit confused. My radio has been playing static then will beep for a few seconds. The screen is broken so I'm not sure what I can do! I've been using a cassette adapter that plugs into my phone and that's been working fine for about a year now. I fancy getting a new...

    clicking noise from front suspension

    Cheers George! I'm going to get my car serviced next week so I'll bring this up. Been having trouble getting it going :( Breakdown guys cam over and said it was 'damp'... Not quite sure what I make of that being as it was garaged. I've also got a lovely new dent in the drivers door. Oh joy.

    clicking noise from front suspension

    Well the whole car is fairly quiet, especially when compared to some other stuff I've driven. It never used to make the noise which is whats irritating. I'm not that handy when it comes to mechanical stuff unfortunately. Would a garage be able to have a look at it. Is it recommended?

    clicking noise from front suspension

    I've had the suspension checked by two mechanics and they said its fine. They suggested using spray grease on the spring as it could be tapping on the mount. Is this likely?

    More so on a bumpy road but its seemingly quite random

    clicking noise from front suspension

    In a previous post I mentioned that I had a knocking and a clicking noise from my front off side suspension. After my cars MOT it turned out that the front top mount was worn and this was replaced. After 3 days the noise returned and I took it back to the garage who double checked it and said...

    Replacing brake lights and best oil for car?

    NOT HALFORDS! They sold me the wrong filament and the drained all the power from my battery. Put a new battery in and was flat within a week. Removed bulb, problem solved, Make sure to put the bulb in the right way too. Otherwise what I have described above can occur too.

    2002 k11 won't start ? Just clicking noise

    I had a very similar problem. Turned out to be a bulb that i'd fitted upside down in the taillight. Took it to a garage, replaced battery and was flat within a week. The malfunction also resulted in my headlights flashing every time I hit the brake pedal! This gave a fun game to play on my...

    Red Micra with Black wheels 14''

    Keep them black, matches the trim on the bonnet. I bought silver to match my stripes ;)

    Grill

    I personally think black looks good. I bought my car with a black grill and when I bought a new bonnet got a chrome one. I much prefer the chrome one but the black is a little more exclusive. ;)

    Dents after repair?

    This may have been a false alarm! I spoke to the body shop chap and he said they looked like parking dents. They pulled out most of the dent and only used a small amount of filler. I don't think they're crooks at all, they're super friendly and they had a DB5 and a Mark 2 Jag in their garage the...

    Dents after repair?

    Sorry I've been busy with work! Heres a pic, you can't seem them too well on the picture. They're quite hard to photograph. They're just small creases in the metal. I circled the largest one.

    Dents after repair?

    Hi all, I had a dent on the passenger door of my car and I took it to a body shop to have a look. It's quite a prestige garage and the service was excellent. They sanded down the area and used body filler to remove the dent. The area was the re-sprayed and the final job looked amazing...

    what did you do to your micra today ?

    Had all the about a dozen dents taken out by a PDR guy for £180. Bit steep but now looks better than when I bought it :)

    Bump Strips

    I tried the compressed air trick to try and get them out, didn't work unfortunately!

    Bump Strips

    Cheers Josh, I agree with you on that one! The side of my car looks like its been machine gunned.

    Bump Strips

    Hi all, I'm having a dent repaired on the passenger side of my car and the body shop chap warned me that he will have to take the bump strip off and in doing so it may break. It's a black thin line one not the broken line. Has anyone in the Leicestershire area got any? Thanks
