    Thinking of buying a k11

It was previously owned by an old lady hence the low mileage. Is my first owned car after 21 years in a Motability...

    Nissan Micra K11 like Renault 5 (mark 1 1972-1984)?

    I think the similarities are obvious Mark Bognor is right the R5 was the first supermini and car in Europe to have plastic bumpers and I believe that it was also the first European car that was design so that the cabin remained in one piece in an accident.

    Nissan Micra K11 like Renault 5 (mark 1 1972-1984)?

    Hadn't really thought of it that way but of course Nissan and Renault are now in an alliance so it figures! Looking at the Wikipedia page for the Clio it lists then Micra as being related: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Clio#Clio_II_.281998.E2.80.932012.29

    To re-repair or not to re-repair?

    Dear Sleeper, Yes I think that when it comes to the HPI reading whoever entered that added an extra zero! The mileage is genuine, the MOT history which has been recorded from 2006 and available from Direct Gov the Micra (called Millie) was owned from new by an elderly lady she took it to the...

    How do you remove the rear headrests on a K11 facelift

    I worked it out with my neighbour's help we used my car key to depress the metal strip that is visible in the plastic bit that the headrest fits into and my neighbour was able to pull each headrest up and out once this strip was depressed.
