Well I sold my old K11 wish i never did now as I need a runaround! I'm looking at either a Super S or one of the 1.3 Flavours. Price about £500 max. Cheers

Just wanted to know are these the same size for the K10, K11 and K12? Its just i have 5 for a 'Nissan Micra' But they were not sure what phase it was for. Cheers

Can't that be cured with some Canesten Duo cream? ;)

Charging at 12Amps? My charger only has one setting...

The mountain of work just get bigger and bigger! lol Anyway the car had been sitting for a while and the battery was flat for about a week, after jump starting with my lifesaver booster pack the battery will not hold the charge. Left the car for 10 minutes and never charged it a bit...

Hmmm I was kinda hoping it didn't need to go that route as I was on a budget and the garage quoted me about £40 to get that all welded up. To be honest I only want it to pass the MOT and i think in its current state it may just about but wanted to make sure the rust wasn't bad enough for a failure.

Well I'm pretty sure it has no holes and just the top bit is rusty. And its only like about 2 inches of rust. I will sand it down and if i get to bare metal can i use some sort of rust treatment on it? Primer then paint?

With the common problem of rust on the rear sills, my offside was welded up however I've noticed some rust flakes on the nearside. Now there is no rust holes so I was wondering if i can sand this down and apply some sort of paint over it to repair it? I don't want this to fail an MOT thats...

Cheers for those but they also seem to work out about the same price. Might have to just bite the bullet and get them locally :( Also Am i right in thinking the front discs are solid are not vented?

Just checked the local motor factor prices and are these reasonable? Oil filter - £7.19!!! Spark plugs NGK - £11.49 Brake Pads - £16.99 Brake Discs - £20 each!!! Distributor cap - £12.99 Rotor Arm - £7.99 Surely a bit steep? :(

Just wondering where you guys get your cheap parts for the Nissan's. The dealer here charges rip-off prices and haven't come across any decent websites? Looking for dizzy cap and rotor arm, other serviceable bits like filters too. Cheers

I normally use the sills for jacking but with the Micra i just don't trust them! :laugh: Whats the best thing to use under the car? Subframe OK and wishbone? They looked a bit floppy t hold the car up last time i checked? Cheers

Hey I'll have them gaiters if they are still going! mine need doing also!

Most all fuel pumps I've come across have been under the rear seats

the 1.3 upgrade would be your best bet. 20 more ponies instantly! Engine swap would be pretty straight forward, you will need 1.3 drive shafts, you can use the 1.0L gearbox and clutch but it is advisable to change this from the 1.3 also as it can cope better. will be your most cost effective...
