I've still got an old Frankspeed mani lying around if anyone wants it? Never used by me, don't even have a Micra anymore. If you want it, drop me a PM with an address and payment and I'll send it out ASAP http://postimg.org/image/uhzcbnh3n/ http://postimg.org/image/glghyhhbh/

I've been enlisted to look at a colleague's preface that suddenly won't start. Initially it ran for around 3 seconds then died again, now there's nothing. No spark so I checked the dizzy, all dry and I sprayed with a water displacer just in case, still no start. The check engine light rapidly...

Item: Frankspeed Mani / 1.3 Cams Location: Alfreton, Derbyshire Condition: Used, good condition Reason for selling: No more Micra ;_; Price: £30 each + Postage Up for sale is a set of 1.3 cams (inlet and exhaust) and a Frankspeed Manifold. Both items in good condition, no pitting on the cams...

See here for photos and more info. So with a very heavy heart (and very light wallet after the past week) I'm going to have to sell my little baby Micra. :( 1.0 burgundy pre-face with 30,xxx miles Located near Alfreton in Derbyshire. MOT next summer (Forget the month but can check, tax at...

So the coilpack has gone to a good home (My mum wanted a reliable car to get into driving again as she's not driven for about 6 years) and I've picked up my second Micra. Took me a while to find the right one but in the end I traveled about 5 metres across the room and bought the Mrs' ;) Yes I...

So I've got myself a new Micra (98 preface, 29,000 on the clock. I'll get a blog up at some point) and I'm now looking toward winter. I've got myself a nice set of steelies for cheap that will be ready for tyres after a quick paint up. The question is what to use. Now I'm up in Derbyshire on...

So I'm back off my holiday and back looking for a nice new Micra. Problem is they're all god-awful. So far there's been a 1.0 facelift with some of the dodgiest sill welding I've ever seen for £790, a £400 1.3 pre-facelift with 100,000 on the clock that seemed to be alright, until I realised the...

So I've got the bug. My Mum has expressed interest in having the red coilpack as a runaround (She's not had a car in a few years so wants something that has been looked after etc) so that means I'm after another. Requirements: 1.0 (Maybe 1.3 if one is around but that's not likely!) 1st...

Long story short I had the plug to the MAF unplugged while doing some work. I started the car up again afterward to test what I'd done and it was running fine. I then realised that the cable was still unplugged. On plugging it back in it ran the same, however when it was unplugged there was no...

I found a couple of threads relating to this but no-one actually specified the size unfortunately. I'm looking at (When I find some of the damn things, anyone selling any?) dropping some 1.3 cams in, however I don't like the look of those rocker cover screws. I'd like to replace them with...

I'm looking for something I don't even know the name of, can you guys help? Basically I'm getting some nice new tyres on my nice new sprayed-silver steelies tomorrow. I pulled the wheeltrims off the old wheels and discovered that the small cap in the centre of the wheel, covering the bolt (For...

Okay so I have a 2001 Coilpack with power steering. When the car is sat idling with no electrical load it will idle with no problems. When I load the alternator by switching on the lights, wipers, hazards, radio etc then it starts shuddering every other 'cycle' when it idles. It feels like...

So my old Ted came in red. Faded red. It's not too bad but obviously I'd like to bring it back to somthing a bit brighter. It looks red when it's all polished and nice but pink when it's not. I know some paints you can cut the hazing from either the clearcoat or the paint itself depending on how...

I know this has been covered in a lot of threads (And I've read most of them) but there's little info pertaining to the coilpack gearboxes. From what I understand there should be a drain on the side at the bottom (Which I've found) and a fill plug on the front (Which I haven't found but I...

So I've got a Y reg coilpack and she's got an R reg pre-coilpack facelift. Hers is immaculate with 26,000 miles on and inherited from an older family member who's given up driving. Mine is the village bike with 5 owners and 80,000 miles. Now hers should have 53hp from stock and mine should...

This is probably going to sound really stupid... I have a K11c and my Mrs has a 1998 pre-coilpack K11. How the hell do you fill them up properly? If you stick the petrol nozzle down the filler neck and hold the trigger it immediately clicks off. We have to hold it on a really low flow with the...

I have an 01 K11c. I'm looking at giving it a bit more grunt. Nothing major; just airbox mods and an exhaust. Now my worry is running too lean. If I was to fit a GA16 airbox, panel filter and get a free-er flowing exhaust, would I have to fit something like an adjustable fuel pressure...

Hello all, Bought a nice little Y reg K11c a few weeks back and I've been going though and doing the mechanical side of the service. Tomorrow I'll finish that off and move on to the cosmetics, however I have a few questions; 1) The aerial has been snapped off and only the base remains. I...

Hello, I bought myself a red K11c the other week. Since then I've been buying up bits to do a service and doing bits when I can. All I have left to get is some gearbox oil and engine oil. I've looked around and looked in my Haynes manual but I can't find out what weight gearbox oil is...

Hey all, first post and all that. My girlfriend got given a Micra (R reg with 27,000 miles!) from an elderly family member who's given up driving due to cancer. I was so impressed with it I've decided I want my own! I found an X reg K11c for £795 with 94,000 on the clock. I'm not too...
