Hi Karl, Thanks for your kind offer :) We'll check our disks as I'm not sure what state they're in, but definitely interested in the pads please :) I guess the calipers would be fairly unlikely to fail? Tara

Sorry made a mistake in original post and put 13" steel wheels, they're actually 14"... :oops: If yours are 14" as well we'd love to take them, we'll figure out a way to collect them. What brake parts do you have? Thanks again :)

Hey Johnny, Not long to go now! Only 27 days!! How are your preparations coming along? We finally got our passports back from the Visa Machine this morning. We'll be going the southern route, across the Caspian Sea to Turkmenistan and then Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Russia and hopefully Mongolia...

That would be fantastic karl thanks :) We're based in Essex where abouts are you based?

Hi all, We're driving our 2003 K11 1.0l Micra to Mongolia in a month's time and are in need of a few spares before we go, so was wondering if anyone could help us out with any of the below: 2x14" Steel wheels 2xCoil Packs Replacement front driver's seat fuel filter 2xLarge (20L ish) Metal...

Thanks PollyP, I hadn't noticed any slackness in 5th but can check when I get the car back this weekend, do you think it's worth draining the gearbox oil as well to check for any damage? If it's just the linkage then can live with that for now, but really need to know if gearbox has had it...

Hi All, I have a k11 2003 60k 1.0l Micra and the gear changes were really stiff, so we managed to get the linkage off after some effort and the joints on that were really seized so have lubed that up and it's made a huge difference. I've driven a k12 before and the change in that was...

ok thanks we won't worry then, it was 11 the first time and suspect battery was suffering a bit by the time it was retested. The throttle was wipe open yes.. Thanks for your help! Tara.

Thanks Frank ;) maybe a bit paranoid then! The compression issues are nothing to worry about either then?

Thanks Frank, there's a photo here: http://www.team2ndattempt.com/images/3.jpg Also snapped the coil pack bolt doing it up so have to find another one of those now as well!

Hi, We have recently bought a K11 2003 Micra, and though it was running fine we wanted to do a compression test just to see what was happening. The readings in the cylinders right to left were: 11.5, 12, 11, 12. We retested the third cylinder and it dropped to 10. The haynes manual...

Hi Johnny, Sorry for taking so long to reply haven't been round much lately.. I'd like to say we were doing rally prep but that would be a lie! We've been running our micra for the last couple of weeks and so far so good. The gearbox seems stiff but we're hoping our mechanic friend will be...

Hi Johnny, You beat us to it and got your Mongol rally post up first :) I'm also part of a team taking part in the rally this year and we collected our 2003 Micra today!!! The other half of our team is a rally 'veteran'.... Chris attempted it in 2007 but a piston went through the side of...
