Massive SUV dwarfs my Micra. Okay for a drive across Texas, perhaps, but a tight squeeze around Nottingham. S

...just arrived at my local. I'll have the throttle body off of the white one, please, and the flywheel from the silver one if I am correct in assuming that it's a couple of kilos lighter than my 1.3L one, and, that an Almera pressure plate will bolt right on to it.

Bought a TIM ammeter on eBay just to try out for fitment. Not perfect but close. Should look okay when I get the rest in. S

Anyone happen to know the price of a single K11 front shock from Nissan? S

Got to thinking about ways to mount gauges on the dash. I wanted a, sort of, factory look and after looking at the dash panels, thought I might work something out by doing a little surgery to them. Trip to the scrapyard for spares and after some careful measuring, cutting (razor saw), and...

Finally got around to changing some dead and dying instrument cluster lights yesterday. Haynes reads, 3 screws and remove the cowling front for access to the cluster. Not on my car! There was a fourth screw under the cowling that could only be reached by removing the four screws that secure...

A few days ago I bought a pair of springs and struts at the scrap yard to fool around with. When I removed one and set it on the ground, hydraulic oil leaked from the hole on the side of the strut(!). So, my question is (no such thing as a stupid question, just another way to learn something)...

...on Sunday the 14th. Petrol head's heaven and just the place to pick up those rare fuzzy dice for that special Christmas present. S

....if Nissan had seen fit to give the K11 an exhaust header like this one (just to be getting on with). Took the photo at the scrapyard this morning. Not a clue as to what make of car this is, one of you wizards out there will no doubt recognize it. S

Just returned from my weekly coffee and book browse at Waterstones. On page 35/36 of James May's book May on Motors he has a few things to say, all negative and rather insulting, about Micras and their owners: "sister's car, girly car, blokes with 'small plums', " etc. You may say "who...

Really don't know much about Minis so out of curiosity bought a copy of Mini World at Smiths. After just a few pages I started turning green with envy at the sheer volume of equipment that is available for those little brutes. You could build an entire car ( at a price) out of a catalogue. I...

Always looking for bits on eBay for the rebuild. Will need new cam chains, etc. Opinions on this, please- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-MICRA-TIMING-CHAIN-KIT Price, quality(?), etc. S

Haven't heard from dazza2122(?) so am putting this up for sale. Taken from a pre facelift 1.3L. It had already been taken out and was laying on the front carpet. There was a bit of moisture on the perspex and few of the bulb holders are missing. I've cleaned it up a bit and have no reason to...

Can anyone give me this particular measurement off of a 1.0L piston? It is about 17.7mm on this 1.3L piston. S

Can anyone please tell me if they are the same? S

Might still be able to get this if anyone's interested. Wiring clipped very short, however, and can't vouch for condition. S

More dead Micras and one miserable looking Beetle. This yard is a great place to spend a couple of hours. It's been dry for a few days now so there's no wading around in muddy water. There's so much broken glass in the yard and cars it gets in your hair and clothes and crunches under your...

Bought this 1.3 to rebuild and, possibly, tweak a little this winter. What can I get for, say, £1000? Cams, head work, bored out a little, 1.0 face lift flywheel, remapping, yada yada. Really don't want to sweat out emissions test at MOT time and neither do I want the exhaust note to drown...

Quite a queue behind these guys. All in a rush, no doubt, but no one tried to pass, not wanting to upset the Reaper. S

I want these. But, 5 stud and wrong offset. Oh well. S
