Before I renewed my timing chain on my K12 I found that I could keep the warning light off by driving steadily. I found that going from foot off the throttle (Engine Braking) to hard on the throttle would bring the light on till I reset it. I think caused by whip in the chain with the sudden...

I done my own, but not for the faint hearted or inexperienced. I would get some prices, shop around but make sure the prices are for the full kit, not just a chain & check the quality of the garage, not some back street fix it bodger! Hope this helps, at least it's a reply!

Autel Maxiscan MS509 seems to do everything, it's the one I have.

Well back up & running & I got some bits left over to build another car! :blues: :blush: A bracket to be honest! & a broken bracket at that. On the loom about level with the bell housing at the back of the engine there is a bracket that steadies the loom, "L" shaped, the upright steadies...

Anybuddy got some advice for a old man besides "Employ a younger one"!! I'm renewing my timing chain on an 04 K12. I can't get the upper oil pan completely off!! There is obviously a lip at the rear of the pan that is preventing removal. By slackening the gearbox bolts I've managed to get it...

You have to drop the lining at the front to get at the areal on a K12 it's not accessable through the interior light & not difficult.

I put a false ply floor to level things out & bought black floor carpet from ebay 1500 x 1200 £14.00 delivered. I have a K12 so I used the two front fixing locations to bolt a half height headboard/Bulkhead which I also carpeted. An old dog guard, painted up & some copper pipe serves as a...

Thanks for your help. Excellent, exactly what I was looking for.

Anyone know where I can download a set of line Drawings for a K12, front, side & rear? I tried image web searches with no luck. I need to signwrite mine & would like a set of line drawings to check the visuals in Photoshop before I order them.

On New years eve I filled up my K12 at our local Tesco. Ashford Kent, & on New years day I drove up to Prestwich Manchester where I filled up again, Esso, & the trip computer was telling me I 28 miles left in the tank, gauge needle well into red. The next day, 2nd Jan I drove back to Kent, same...

Took the back seats out of my Micra (3 door K12), bit of ply - piece of car carpet from eBay & a couple of hours labour mainly cutting the new carpet. It's ideal for what I needed. Converts back to 4 seats easily The only draw back is the raised lip of the hatchback but I have thought of...

Is it not detailed in the chassis number? ******K12********

Pour a little water on the pully as it's running if the whistle goes then its the belt & caused by the friction between belt & pully. Don't stand in line of the spray!!

Did you fill to the brim? As the gases come through the cooling system pipes they push fluid ahead of themselves. If you got a bad blow, gasket or crack then you will get a mini water eruption out of the filler neck ahead of the gas! Keep a kettle of hot water handy to keep the system full to...
