    K10 Break In - Arghhh!

    Hmm some good ideas here. Will do a combination of them over the next few weeks. I'd quite like to do some sort of self defence mod too. Perhaps a saw-off shotgun mounted along side the steering column. Or some thermite in the buttock area of the drivers seat grr

    K10 Break In - Arghhh!

    Regarding unscrewing the door pins - good idea that although it means you can't lock/unlock the doors from the inside any more. Is it possible that the door/s may become locked in a crash?

It seems to be always open which is causing the engine to under fuel. I've read this valve is needed for hot conditions, is it necessary for...

    Micra K10 - Stalling when revved, fuel pump woes

    Micra K10 - Stalling when revved, fuel pump woes

    Hi, I recently bought a 1988 Micra K10 1ltr GSX. It's been great for the past few weeks apart from some worrying rattles and knocks from the suspension/wheel bearings... However, a few days ago it all went tits up. I'd just left work, it was raining heavily and I was sitting at a busy...
