    CV boot change > axle fell out > gearbox dumped > "problem"

    The split ring we used is in the CV joint, so it's far less of a problem. Yeah, I certainly wouldn't mess around with it anywhere near the speed grinder. That split ring seemed to weather the adventures okay. The only reason we used that as a split ring is because nobody around here stocks...

    CV boot change > axle fell out > gearbox dumped > "problem"

    Well, there you go. So this all started out as a CV boot swap. Followed the YouTube video for weekend fun and the like: Fast forward to the bit at 3:15 (parting CV joint with a hammer), and cue the entire axle coming right out of the gearbox and dumping liquid fun all over my brother-in-law's...

    Whoa! Strange crunching noise from the engine when revving....

    Couldn't replicate the issue. Engine is relatively cold only having been brought from the car park to the front of our house and started a couple of times for less than a minute for these tests. Hmph. I wouldn't like to imagine if it is something critical like rod bearings since we can nary...

    Whoa! Strange crunching noise from the engine when revving....

    Hi guys - haven't been on for a while since I had the CV joint issue. That's all fixed now. No biggie. Noted a weird thing a few weeks back though. When changing gears and pulling off/re-applying throttle the gearbox feels like its making a knocking noise or something isn't re-engaging...

    Momentary random deceleration problem?

    Hey guys. Our 1,0l K11 has been running fine since we got her other than a paired of screwed CV joints. Our son pointed out a weird thing which we also noticed ourselves on a 3,0hr round trip yesterday. Every once in a while, the car feels like it decelerates for a fraction of a second. Not like...

    Sounds about right. This video describes the sound perfectly. I guess this is pretty critical then....hahaha....thanks!

    Steering rattling on full left lock

    Bit of a weird one this - perhaps - however our 1.0l K11 makes a strange rattling when driving either under full lock from standstill or when turning left hard at low speeds. I can't feel the rattle through the steering column and the noise appears louder inside the cabin than it does outside...

    Japi´s shirt Micra (Finland)

    Terve Porista.... We just bought a 109,000km K11 a couple of weeks ago and could do with fixing it up to daylight running. 40€ sounds a lot for a simple 12v relay so I might modify the lights with some LED strips instead or something. What's the legality of smoked light clusters here? I'm a UK...
