    Plug gap and type

    Haynes say one gap size (can't remember what offhand 1.1 ???) but the plugs already in the engine I want to change are bosch, all with a different gap to the Haynes recommendation. The bosch have performed well and are the right colour, not burn't or pitted etc but they are due for a change...

    I want to increase boot space

    Thanks for the useful suggestion and sketch pjg1979, what thickness mdf would you go for? I've not used it before. Thanks I had considered that but I don't want anything permanent or irreversible to change the vehicle classification, plus I want it to still look like an ordinary car with an...

    I want to increase boot space

    I need a couple more inches tail -> backseat. It's a security thing, I need to be able to park sometimes with equipment out of view in the boot rather than fold back seats down and then cover. I was thinking that if I removed the back seat upright pieces and replaced them with something...

    yr 99 with 35k what should I check?

    Thanks. Sills and front cross member are very good. I think I'll change the Transmission fluid for the hell of it, can't be sure how long ago it was last done, if ever. I just rang the local Nissan dealer and they say it is not part of their service routine, but it should be changed every...

    Matching head unit to speakers

    Thanks for the link Hugh, I'll take a look. My proper local shops don't have many alternatives already set up. I went back to halfords again and maybe I had an effect on them because I found the setup had changed to a more balanced sound today. still not very good but at least the...

    Matching head unit to speakers

    My Pioneers in the front aren't paper - they feel a bit rubbery/plasticky - and whilst they are admittedly old now and due for replacement they have happily been in 4 cars and haven't been hammered. But I take the point that I'll probably need different speakers to get the best out of a change...

    Matching head unit to speakers

    Thanks for the info So far most speakers I'm coming across have specs way in excess of the head unit. Something is seriously bothering me about modern head units however! When I bought the M11 secondhand it had the factory radio/cassette which I thought sounded pants. Buying the car had...
