Ps. Frank, how do I increase the Idle speed?

I have no idea where the throttle body is or the the i/cv calve looks like, but leave it with me I'll hunt around for images on google and see what I can find. I'll most likely come back with more questions for you Frank :grinning: Should I swap out the fuel filter? I've seen this on ebay...

Ps. I was careful to make sure I put the right wire in the right place. But just out of curiosity, what owuld happen if the wires were in the wrong place? I'm not going to do it, but just trying to learn a bit as I go along :suspect:

Hi Frank You were totally right, it did come out without me removing the fuse box or wire. I was being a bit overcareful with it but when I used a bit more force it came out no problems, have now switched it for the new one. Many thanks for your help with this. You are a star!:blues:

Hey Frank thanks for replying. Theres a little plastic box on the right of it (with writing on it) i cant get it out but looks like it may be a fuse box or similar?) Thats in the way of me getting the cap off. Im looking for my cam to take pics of it but seem to have misplaced the bloody...

So as some of you know I'm new to the world of Micra. I picked up a K11 for really cheap that had a fair bit of cosmetic damage but seemed to run well. So i fitted new alloys and tyres, new door handles and did some repairs to the paintwork and pulled out the bumper where the previous owner...

I've just bought a new dizzy cap and trying to fit it and having some problems.. I got the screws out but cant get the cap out there is not enough room to get it out. Do I have to take off the actual distributor to get the cap off?:wasntme:

Latest update, gave it a mega clean... Alloys came up ok. Still haven't fixed the scratches waiting for a day where rain isn't predicted :)

I have a 1993 K reg 1L 16v 2 door Micra. I wanna replace my front discs and pads as the brakes aren't as responsive as I'd like. Will these fit: MINTEX FRONT DISCS/ PADS KIT MDK0105 Thanks in advance for any info MQ:grinning:

Thanks for the info Collison. Will picture the old alloys and get em up on fleabay, even if I get 20 quid for em I'd be well happy so will see how it goes. Thanks for the info about the paint application, I will deffo test it somewhere not too visible first. I put my new wheels on turns...

thanks solarice, i deffo will be huntin round the scrappy in the next few weeks. the lack of lights on the dials is driving me crazy! have attached a few pics of the car as it is now. bought the paint stuff today from halfords 7.99 haven't applied it yet. also gonna fit the wheels tonight if...

This look like the right stuff yeah? It dosen't say how big the tub is but I'm guessing tiny? http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_158393_langId_-1_categoryId_165580

hi craig thanks for the reply. yes the alloys i bought came from a super s (As in the picture). my brother collected the alloys for me today so i didnt meet the owner who had the super s previously. but i looked on his ebay account and it appears he sold it very recently for 120 quid! all...

ps. here's the new wheels... (on the car they came from) not mine...

ok guys small update collected my alloys today, they are heavily scuffed but still look cool. i think i prefer slightly battered alloys on my car as new alloys on a car with a lot of wear and tear might look out of place. subtle works for me :P i haven't fitted them yet, but gonna do it...
