i am going to sound stupid here, is the 14mm the one on the side and the 12mm on the front?

thought i would drag up an old thread of mine. I really need to tighten up the belt now. I can see the top bolt put I cant work out the bottom bolts, has anyone got a pic?

is there any guides to changing it? Do you remove the pulley or the whole alternator? How do you know what tension?

My G/F has a 95 K11. Now that the dark and damp nights have come we have developed a really bad alternator belt squeal. Obviously its worse when we have the lights, blowers and rear window on. It can be quite embarrassing the noise it makes. Is this just a case of replacing the belt or is...

do you have a link for your blog? Is it a tough/expensive job?

Hi, we have a 94 1.0 K11. We have noticed that when you turn a tight corner or suddenly get the bite we get a clunk/crunch/grind coming from the front passenger side wheel. I am thinking it could be a drive shaft or a wheel bearing? Has anyone come across this before. Does my diagnosis...

Ours has blown a few times, last time it did it I fixed it my self... ...Find the silver blob and the opposite end the the connector. Knock any of the "blob" left off and clean it up with some sand paper to reveal the 2 silver pads. Drop a blob of solder across the 2 and bob your uncle lol. If...

before the bulb went they where both equal. Where about are these screws and what way do i turn them for the beam to go down?

The G/F K11 blew the drivers side headlight about a week ago. I replaced the bulb but now the drivers side seems to be alot brighter. When she follows me in my car it almost dazzels me! It seems like its pointing up also. I have tried refitting the bulb etc but still no luck. Any ideas?

sorry to dig up an old post but...the G/F decided she would try and hug a post with the micra in Asda and crumpled the wing!! I need to get the wing off is it just 3 bolts on top, 1 inside the door, 1 underneath & 1 on the arch lining (where exactly are the last 2?) Also how do i get the side...

Thats exactly what they are doing, they release with a clunk after being on for a while and occasionally squeak under heavy braking, how do i deglaze them?

Ta mate next job...rear brakes they are squeaking and dont release straight away sometimes. Any ideas?
