I don't have one (I am looking at a K12, I currently have a Leaf) but I think it works exactly like the Leaf - there are sensors in the door handle that detect when the keyfob is near and the door handle button unlocks it. There should be an emergency keyslot either by pulling back a piece of...

I am selling my 1994(M) Super S. I bought this in May 2009 after needing a car to commute from the south coast to Guildford every day. It has served me truly faultlessly since then and I am only having to sell it due to getting a new car this week. I did plan to keep it longer, but I got...

I nearly bought a Subaru Legacy once, it had obviously been used to carry a dog cage in the front seat for many years (belted to the seat), the seat belt was severely frayed/worn almost halfway through, and it had a fresh MOT from the dealership. I had to pull out because the insurance was...

Thanks for these posts, I had damp in my K11 and it got much worse than past few weeks (the seats were damp from the condensation every morning) and realised it was only the passenger floor. Yesterday evening (in the cold) I removed the scuttle panel cover and found the clip and surrounding...

Sorry for the late follow-up. I had the Falkens swapped to the front and new Falkens on the rear and it helped quite a bit. It is still understeering a little more than I would expect, although I think it's just me having never driven such a light car before and pushing it too hard!

Hiya, I have a '94 Super S I have had for over a year now. I got it as a cheap runabout for a long commute but have decided to keep it until something breaks or I get bored since it is pretty decent for what it is. Anyway, it handles and runs fine EXCEPT I get what I believe to be bad...

I've just picked up a 1.3 K11 with 45k on the clock and have got around 45mpg averaged over 3 tanks, this is about 50% A-roads, 50% dual carriageways at (cough) 70mph. Gareth
