Shame, took a couple of goes for me but it worked in the end.

f you have the airbag light, it will show steady for a few seconds (the manual says 7 secs) after you turn the key from off to on (but not start) and then start to flash. Here is how to reset it: 1. Turn the key from off to on. 2. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs...

I decided to repair the return spring on the gear lever so had to remove the heat shield. I had had a look at the bolts a few days ago and they didnt look to clever. I did a search for "best penetrating fluid" and what came up was a bit of a surprise. A lot of people recommend 50 - 50 acetone/...

Why not have a go yourself? If it's just the bumper rub it down, mask the area, primer and top coat. Loads of videos on youtube and then you get the satisfaction of doing it yourself and saving a few quid. Just dont rush it!

Hmmmmm easier than turning the key 3 times?

I did post these instructions at the end of a thread about removing an SRS steering wheel but though I would create a separate thread. Once I had removed the steering wheel and reassembled, I think because I drove the car with the airbag disconnected the airbag warning light would not go off...

Bit of a bump on this one, finally got around to removing the steering wheel and put it on straight, foolishly went for a test drive with no airbag to make sure it was going in a straight line. Got home, disconnected the battery left it for a while and refitted the airbag, now the airbag light...

**** happens mate, hope things are on the up for you sooner than later.

New disks and pads on the front, purchased shoes for the rear but didnt need them just a quick manual adjustment and tightened the cable - it now holds on the handbrake on steep hills! Purchased a mig.

I agree with andy - mig-welding.co.uk is a very friendly place. I'm just contemplating having a go at mig welding and found this guy quite good - straight to the point and no more chatter than needed: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJAFY2kKKb5sg79yld7T3hA

Need to do this, many thanks for your guide.

I've been away a while but back again and really impressive to see this blog still going, excellent work.

Cheers for the input. All I can base it on is whats on ebay - all over £2k and a lot more miles and some without the leather interior and other goodies. Certainly welcome to an offer from the forum.

As promised I have added pictures of the dents front wing: rear bumper: Quite small just bloody annoying as both were done in carparks.

Thats how it goes!, I will post up some pictures of the dents, they are both quite small. It goes on ebay this weekend so if anyone is remotely interested please give me a shout before the bidding starts, I'd love it to stay in the Micra.org.uk family.

Just to let you know I have been advised my new car is ready for collection on Saturday so the Micra is available as of Saturday afternoon. I'm in High Wycombe Buckinghamshire.

Some of you may remember me from a while back and you were all great in steering me on the way looking after my 160sr especially Guys amazing Micra website. Due to circumstances changing with a great deal of sorrow Im letting her go for a diesel. 05 Plate under 64000 miles about 5 months mot...

Nope mine doesnt have one either.

You should post a price for Guys old one, I may be tempted but just short of funds (just got a new camera!!).
