    Rotary multi-tool - advice

    There are so many rotary multi-tools to choose from that I am bewildered. I'm looking for a cordless one which will drill, cut, grind, sand and polish, complete with a range of tools. It needs to be a well-known make for ease of obtaining spares and not over-expensive. I'm not a professional...

    Front anti-roll (stabiliser) bar drop link sheared.

    This happened to my 2001 K11 Micra today and I thought it an easy job to remove the link & bushes - wrong! I've soaked the link rod and lower securing nut with Plus Gas and I can just turn it in the the eye of the anti-roll bar. The top nut and bush disappeared with the sheared off bit of the...

    Refuelling problem

    I have a 2001 K11 Micra 1.4 SE and the last time I filled up with petrol, I noticed fuel leaking out under the rear of the car, just before the petrol pump cut off.

    Roof aerial mounting Wanted

    After taking my Y-reg Micra SE 1.4 petrol through the car wash, it came out with the roof fixture for the aerial broken, with the threaded part missing, so I can't screw the aerial back in.

    Cooling system overheating

    I've just renewed the anti-freeze in my 2001 K11 Micra 1.4 SE, and now after a run it is overheating - the temp. gauge needle went into the red after about four miles. I suspect an air lock in the system as it didn't take the full quantity of coolant when topping up. Any tips on bleeding the...
