Hi, As title really. I get a squeal at around 55 mph sometimes that I believe to be connected to the rear brakes. (Head out window and it sounds like it's from the back) It happens when not braking though, just driving along in any gear. (Ok maybe not first or second!) If I tap the brakes...

So MOT done just for peace of mind. Expected it to fail... it passed! All it needed was some adjustment to some BUS on the track rod end? I have no idea what that is (I probably mis heard what he said too!) but another £20 later and it passed with the rust being an advisory! Hehe! Happy days...

Where else is worth checking?I bought the car from a private trader and he has agreed to sort out all the labour for the job etc, I said i'd buy the crossmember. Any pics of where else is worth checking thats an MOT fail? If I had it MOT'd now and it failed (2 months early) do I still have 2...

I don't work on cars too often though! It does seem like a bargain. So what kinda things have you done with yours??

Hmmm should I buy this or not. It's only up the road from me....! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clarke-135-TE-MIG-welder-body-work-fabrication-chopper-hot-rod-bobber-/161047516041?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item257f2e1389

Thanks for the vids! Really let me see the amount of work required! Looks like a challenge! Haha. Lets hope I don't come across any more issues whilst fixing this one! Any idea what nuts and bolts are required to fit the new X-member? Reason I ask is because if they are anything like those on...

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121063480082 Wow cheap as chips eh! Surely a lot less hassle than welding? What kind of labour charge would swapping this out likely incur? I may attempt it myself and there may even be another Micra enthusiast in Kent that could help...!? *Fingers crossed hehe* Edit: Anyone...

Anyone in the southeast/Kent handy with a welder!?!?! :)

It's done 140k miles and this is the resultant rust at the front of the car which I noticed when removing the rattling exhaust heat shield. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bbfrdo87vqfe6ht/20130616_170327.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/18xp74p2epqf596/20130616_170306.jpg Makes me want to cry a...

What's one of those mate? I have two other problems to look into: Squeels on start up for a little bit when cold? Constant exhaust heat shield rattle! (The one right at the front which you can see when looking under the front bumper!)

Just bought a 143k mile 1998 K11. Damn these things last don't they!? Japs FTW! Although i'd be suprised if my S2000 lasts till 140k! Anyway it drives like new, but with every car I buy I like to give it a service. Is this kit adequate...
