Finally got the service done! Managed to piss oil all over the top of the engine (should have invested a quid in a funnel) so I'll be degreasing that today!
Sorry for the lack of pics but my progress so far is relatively boring!
Picking up my original parcel shelf tomorrow to start the...
I've just serviced my 1.0l with 5-30 fully synthetic Petronas oil, Comma's website recommends it so it can't be far off

So after being away with the Mrs for our anniversary I got home to find my service kit has finally arrived! Downside is I'm now back at work so only managed to get the pollen filter done! On the plus side I don't have to worry about developing asbestosis from the original!
Nice bit of JDM...
Hi!
I've bee a member on here for quite a while and not really done much with my Micra! Mainly because the wife's been using it as her daily run around for the past 18 months.
She's now moved onto the family Juke which was mine until she had 1 years no claims! Now that's hard on the insurance...
So I polished Persil on my lunch break today with a mate, full T-Cut Metallic and Autoglym Super Resin... it's come up awesome!

After
Mind the dents lol
I need to get some smooth peanut butter, got some chunky stuff in the house but I don't think it'll do a great job lol!
Quick update:
My Paul Walker tribute sticker arrived!!
And I went to take the mask off the MSC stickers and the bloody stuff was stuck harder to the sticker than the sticker was to the glass! So they're now back off!
So the weather on Sunday day was horrendous so I was delayed in doing anything on the mighty micra.
The weather's been better today and my stickers came so I gave the car a quick wash and wax.
While washing the car I noticed the the Micra and Tempest stickers were beginning to come unstuck...
Dunno if I'd rather use my own or a strangers lol
Although I am in no way doubting that if I yank out the pink worm and hose my engine bay down with yesterday's red bull it wouldn't degrease the engine bay... I think I'll give that one a miss haha.
Might get the Muc Off out and give it and...
OK so my micra has 13 years of cap under the bonnet!
I want to clean it up but don't fancy jet washing it... what's the best gear / technique to get it cleaned up without breaking too much of a sweat
Cheers
Hi I am the proud owner of Persil (small but mighty [emoji12] ) A silver 3 door 2002 with a tiny engine but loads of character.
I have been looking through the thread and was hoping to find a thread about getting the most from my engine.
I am not trying to make a 20 second car, but I would...
So the shelf didn't clean up fantastically and when I test fitted it I realised theres a void for a brake light, mines at the top of the window so plans are at changing!
The grilles look like they will slot into my existing shelf with some drilling and cutting for the speakers and screw holes...
