I recently replaced a driveshaft on an 02 plate Micra automatic (cvt). Some oil was spilt from the diff housing when I did this. Does the diff share oil with the transmission? If so how do I add it and what oil do I need? If it's separate from the transmission where do I fill it? Thanks in...

Hi Rally, Roger here. My phone # is 07722566354.

Margate, Kent. I guess giving something away doesn't count as selling?. Roger.

I want to get rid of my '94 Micra, terminal rust has claimed it and when driving it round the back of my house it mysteriously died. Most annoying, it has always performed faultlessly until then. Anyway,it has about 85k miles on its 1.0 dohc engine and a silent timing chain, you'll have to take...

You'll probably find you use a bit less petrol too. Roger.

Politeness is free. It also demonstrates an ability to make sure the brain is engaged before putting the mouth/pen/keyboard into action. A lot of forums I use allow a limited amount of banter, especially between some regular users. But when it degrades into abuse the moderators step in and close...

So I took the dash out, broke the damn wiper stalk :(. Anyway, I got the matrix out. A long winded job, but nothing difficult about it. It looked ok to me so I figured I'd try to descale it. I poured Toilet Duck into it and left it in a bucket overnight. Soon after I put it in the bucket it...

Put my 99p from ebay wiper switch on, I broke the old one, my fault. Put a £10 from the scrapyard mirror on. Some scumbag broke the old one, not my fault. A bit of an upgrade, the replacement has an adjuster :). Roger.

Do you have a link please?. I can't find his blog. Roger.

The matrix is leaking, that's why I need to replace it. Roger.

I can't handle no heater in my Micra at my age :), I need to replace my heater matrix in my '94 basic model. I have been told I need to remove the dash to do this. I'm not worried about it being a complex or long winded job, but don't want to make life difficult for myself either by going about...

Hi, my 94 1.0 Micras's heater is leaking, looks like a nightmare to remove. Can someone run through what I need to do to get the job done, and where I can get a replacement matrix?. My local motor factors don't list it from any of their suppliers. Thanks in anticipation...

Am I missing something?. The central vents have ambient temperature air through them, the side vents have heater controlled air through them. The small vents are to demist the side windows. Dont like cold air coming through in this weather?, turn the vent off, it's the little thumbwheel by the...

Good to hear of a sale that ended with smiles all round, too often we hear of deals that have gone sour. I think you got a good price for a car needing major work, and it seems the buyer got the car he wanted, knowing time and money needs to put into it. Roger.

Well.... I don't know how much he charged you, maybe he has a fixed price. I spent years in the motor trade, it is standard practice to charge a minimum amount for any job. Sometimes I would waive this charge for something really simple, it often led to us getting a new customer. Roger.
