    Painting reflector edges - high heat paint?

    How hot do the headlight reflectors get? I'm looking to paint the edges black like on my old Micra. Then, I used a high heat spray. This time I want to brush it on though, as the masking tape pulled the silver off when I removed it. Can I just use, say, Hammerite or does it have to be high...

    Do you insulate RCAs?

    If so, what would you use? Is there a specific place to run the cables from the HU to the boot? Mine just go down the drivers side, just under the carpet. The speaker cables go along side, and power cables go down the other side. I have alternator whine that comes and goes every so often...

    Changing rear spring - what do I remove?

    Quick question: What do I need to unbolt/remove to release the rear springs? I need to get it done while it's still light really! So far I've only got the damper off. Ta in advance, Tom

    Tips on removing strut top nut

    I got the first front strut out today with the hopes of fitting my lowering springs, but I am struggling with the top nut. I put an allen key in the center hole and used a spanner on the nut, but the center hole is now ######ed. The allen key now spins right round in the hole, and only after one...

    Lower front and rear separately?

    My new Tein springs have arrived, and was thinking about doing the rears tonight and then the fronts when I can borrow some compressors. Can I do rears first, or should it be done all at once? Ta, Tom

    Pre-facelift K11 headlight reflector pair

    Not sure how much these would go for, but if anyone has any available and could give ne a price posted that would be great. I want to be able to paint black some like I did my old K11 and not have to worry about removing my own ones and waiting for them to dry before putting them back in...

    Poor Sill Welding? Help!

    I've just got my car back from the garage after having 24" of welding done on each sill. Now I'm not sure how neat they can get it, but to me this looks pretty rough. Plus, it is now mis-shapen towards the rear each side, and there's another dink near the front. What do you think would cause...

    Alt. whine caused by amp cover?

    I've just been looking to narrow down the cause of my alternator whine in my newly installed system - I had the whine in my 206 scrap metal too, but never found a definite cause. This morning though, I've noticed by accident that there are no problems when I run the amp without it's metal...

    Wheel Spacers

    I'm looking at getting some wheel spacers and extended studs for my new K11. I have done it before to my old one, but can't remember where I got them from or which ones they were. They were eBay though I think. I know these say they are OK for Micras, but will they be OK? By the looks of it...

    1996 1.3 GX with 40K - What's it worth?

    Hi Guys, Question as per title really. I've found a 1996 1.3 GX locally with only 40,000 miles on. From pictures it looks pretty clean, but never can tell until seen in person. Is there a guide as to a value for one of these? I sold my old K11 last year for £430, but it needed a fair bit...
