    Possible New Micra Owner

    Hey mate, what's up with the Polo and where abouts are you? Just phone the owner of the Tempest and ask them outright aswell, they can't lie if they want a sale because as soon as you try it out you'll see if these features are on there or not. Mines a Micra Shape, and has no extras (part...

    What spark plugs to use?

    Hi, Just a quick question to those with Haynes's out there, what size and spec spark plug goes in the 1.0 K11 engine, I'm heading over to the shop tomorrow. Also what size increase does the engine take? On my old Golf, you used to be able to get away with putting one size up in the engine...

    Dawsons Micra - Project "postman pat"

    Thanks for the kind words. @ Scouse Boy, I'm not based near Formby, I drove up there to get the car, I'm more near the Wigan end of things (Skelmersdale). Thousands of K11's here, wonder how many of them are on this site.... @ Manny, it's the same colour as a lot of K11's I think red must...

    Dawsons Micra - Project "postman pat"

    Ok, so late last month, I swapped my Citroen Saxo 1.4 in for something more economical and robust, and in the Autotrader, found a nice looking Polo for sale in Formby. Drove up, and it had been sold, but the guy showed me a couple of Micras he had in. After testing it, I fell in love with...

    I've tried the bay and amazon, but both are quite expensive, on the old pug 309 I used to own, I got a haynes for 1p plus postage! Are there any online resources that have the same info as contained in the Haynes manuals such as torque settings and whatnot?

    Where to start on doing up car?!

    Wallet is not exactly bottomless, hence wanting to do the jobs one by one over time. This does not mean I will skimp with cheap components, everything I buy will be the best of the best, it'll just take time to get them all... And as for going for 1.3 over a 1.0, I see getting a 40 hp...
