    Oil light never comes on (should it?)

    I know it was a bit silly for me to ask... :) As I said I was trying to cheat/save time/get it right first time. Oh well it will be worth the hassle once it is done!

    Oil light never comes on (should it?)

    Just thought of something. I'll check to see if the Haynes book has wiring diagrams for the plug in the dash, if it does I could use the multimeter (continuity test mode) to trace from the wire that goes live when the dash lights are on to the bulb holders, this would show me the polarity. I...

    Oil light never comes on (should it?)

    Got the bulbs sorted (they were blown!), thanks. One last related question: I bought some LED dash lights for my speedo/heater controls/etc, how do I know which polarity to install them?

    Oil light never comes on (should it?)

    Tailgate/boot window seal peeling?

    Hi, The tailgate/boot window seal is peeling at the top of the window. There is a small gap between the 2 ends of the rubber seal at the top of the glass. Am I missing a piece that is supposed to be there to hold the 2 ends in, or has the seal split? I have a Haynes manual and have...

    Micra Tropic specification / immoboliser etc (special edition?)

    Hi all, I just got my first car - a Micra Tropic 1.0L 3dr. Very nice car actually, considering its age (1994). Dent/scratch free bodywork. Is the Tropic a special edition model? I am having trouble finding much information about it. I would like to know if it has an immoboliser fitted (was...
