Ok, i've decided that the car needs to go. It's grim enough having it sat outside dis-used. Milage stands at 70283 (plus the 6 or 7 miles driving back from the MOT garage). The disks are rusty but thats because the car genuinely hasn't been driven since the 19th of last month. This will go...

Sorry about the lack of response from me. I can let this car go as soon as i've bought a replacement, which could hopefully be this week. I'll post a reasonable asking price on here asap. I won't ask much but i won't be able to go lower as i will be relying on this money to insure a new...

Cheers for the feedback. That photo was taken when i first got the car. In all its glory! R-Reg; How much will it cost roughly to get some reliable welding done to it? I know it's probably hard to say without seeing the rust itself though. A few more snaps here, but as you can see, the...

Yeh no probs. I'll see what i've got and put them up this afternoon or evening. I will take some (if it stop belting it down outside) of the odd scuffs & small carpark-idiot dints too.

1996 70283 miles. 'This car failed its MOT on the 19th for the following; Front lower (cross member) vehicle structure has excessive corrosion. As above with outer sill. Near and offside break pipes corroded.' I decided that without the time or money to be spending on the car, i...

Wow! Its not even a wind-up thread either!

To be fair though its swings and roundabouts. From seeing it daily on the roads (and i spend around 9 hours a day driving along streets, lanes and motorways as part of my job), for every 'boy racer, back-box warrior' acting the goat there is a woman peering nervously over the steering wheel of a...

Not bringing lads insurance down is inevitable and not expected, making girls pay the same as us is fair game though.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12606610 So glad of this. Its something that has got my goat for, well, since i've been driving! Generalizations are a little bit old fashioned now! Its so good we're paying equal premiums. 'Representatives of the insurance industry said they were...

Thought i'd have a little dreamy moment and check out my future car/pipe dream. http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/Detail.aspx?deriv=42042 0-60 = 3.4 bhp = 471 top speed = 193mph :p

Shell fuel only. £15 = 115 on average. If you can help it try and keep revs below 2k and keep on top of correct tyre pressure too.

Aye good point. Its been a long day!

Sorry if this is the wrong section or its been covered to death but has anybody successfully converted or seen a bigger lump go into a micra? I've been thinking of a project for next year, and if it isn't too hard or expensive maybe sticking an Almera 2.0 GTi engine or maybe just a 1.6 into a...

Is there any way of cleaning the window mechanism without taking the apart? When i open and close my window i hear this horrible slight glass-scratching sound and it is now noticebly making small lines. Thanks.

The previous owner of my car had attached the right side-strip of the car on with double-sided sticky foam so i thought i'd leave it on until it inevitably starts hanging off, which happened today. I've taken it off and the majority of the foam but i'm now left with stubborn bits and residue...

Just got back from a garage my mum uses. He put the car on the lift, got it up in the air and ragged the exhaust heat-shield off. I had been told by a few people that it'll be the heat-shield but just havent had chance to get underneath the car. Problem solved in less than five minutes.

Was wondering if anyone would be able to roughly diagnose a rattle comeing from the front of my k11 SR. Seems to be coming from the engine area but stops when i rev. My friend had a quick look and without getting inside the engine said it might be the pulley, a rusty bearing. Anyone had a...

Well what i say is; i'm yet to sit in another 1996 car with ABS, a twincam, electric windows, central locking, and perfect power steering! Everybody that laughed at me changed their mind once i'd took them out in it! My friend who owns an Audi S3 said he felt relativelypushed back in his...

Bored the other night (rubbish BB camera quality!) Little n large Any chance somebody could photoshop the pub car park picture and give it gold Subaru style wheels please?

Hi, i'd like to give the engine bay a blitz so i was wondering which is the best way. I tried the other day with elbow grease, a scouring pad for dishes!, hot water & fairy liquid but didnt get that far, the pads were black within seconds. I'd rather work around things than take things out...
