Cheers Chrisxn - don't know exactly what you're talking about but it sounds intriguing, especially if I decide to keep the car and tweak it a bit. Still under consideration .... Nice one k12 - will give it a shot (but not with the 12 bore!) and let you know if I have same result. If so, will...

Mother in law's P reg 1.0 auto has 'popped' its rear screen seal at the top. seems like where the two ends meet. I've looked at two other same age Micras to see what it should look like - and both were the same as hers! Any info please - including what to do about it. Cheers. BC
