Hi all I was trying to adjust the clutch cable on our trusty micra the other day when I ran out of adjustment (only just, the clutch works just great). I replaced the clutch on the car myself and it has done few miles since so I suspect the cable which is old is a bit stretched but here is the...

R reg SR thanks for the reply. Yes, I have been thinking about my question and I think the wiring is such that I can see that the 'switch' that I was asking about is going to be the door lock 'switch' on the driver's door, it's the actual locking lever. Your reply helps. Many thanks to all...

Hello all... I am just in the process of fitting one of those 20 odd quid full central locking kits that you can buy on ebay.
