Hi Can anyone help get me the code for BP536556021310 Part No. (?) LP 8 635 123 524-3 Found it stamped on the side of the radio. Thanks Phil

Disconnected the battery so now being asked for the code. I can't find any piece of paper with it on so took the radio out to have a look. Aghh a bit of paper stuck on it.. but it was ripped.. I can only make out the following "28 184 BC401..... .54" Stamped in the metal casing is "LP 8...

Last year I bought my wife a 5-door K12 SX - it has been no problem... until she told me it was making a rattling noise. I listened to it.. and there was a quiet regular mechanical knocking. I thought about this for a day and then suggested she let the garage listen to it. Holy cow! The sump...

Started the car today and noticed that the heater fan was a bit slow.. the dashboard lights were dim and then wipers were slow as well... just a general loss of power all round. There were no warning lights on... I figured the alternator light would come on if I was not getting juice?? Any...

My K10 just failed its MoT. The guy was really severe.. I mean for £35 I expect them to top up the wash bottle for a loyal customer. Anyhoo... one failure item was "insecure steering rack" !!! He reckons I should undo the support mounts and put electricians tape around the rack to make the...

I read the other threads for this task.. and expected it to go OK. I bought two new shocks from the nissan guy... er I was a little surprised to see they were so small and narrow... and wondered where the spring would sit. I imagined that the assembly would come apart when i removed it and...

Looking for a nice sound engine to replace mine.. it blows blue smoke and must go!

My wife's K10 is losing water again... the hoses are OK.. but when up to pressure I can see a trickle from what looks like the area of the water pump near the fan belt pulley. I fitted a new pump just over a year ago so rather than the pump seal could this be simply due to the gasket...

MOT is due and I need two suspension arms. Today i bit the bullet and got on with the job. Well... the new arm!!! It doesn't fit. The threaded shaft has too big a diameter to go into the wheel hub!!! The shop must have sold me the wrong part. In all other respects it matches the old arm...

Hi all, I picked up an almost mint B reg K10 at the weekend. The bodywork is almost perfect with no evident rust. I figured it might do if one of mine fails the MOT. Couple of problems.. 1. he had no pressure in the brake system and it needed topping up with fluid. Possible leak...

I noticed the other day that my K10 temperature was spiking a little in town traffic. I put the heater on to suck the heat out and it came down OK. For some reason both my K10s have needed new thermostats on a number of occasions and they always end up sticking. Anyway.. I had to motor up to...

Still have a problem with my headlights. Relay buzzing and just the lefthand main beam is flickering. The RH side has no problems. The problem is intermittent though and sometimes they come straight on. I tried a replacement relay from a scrapper but it is still unreliable. I am not sure about...

i have a replacement door my wife's K10 ... to match I will need to get it silver/grey. How hard is it to obtain the appropriate micra colours? Are they standard and off the shelf from Halfords or something? thanks

has anyone successfully re-attached a broken connector to a heater matrix? If so.. how. The plastic looks a bit stubborn to me and may not lend itself to epoxy or some kind of glass fibre/resin tourniquet.

My wife's 1.0 K10 (K reg) sprang a leak and it seemed to be coming from underneath the carb. I took off the air filter and as the hoses were OK I deduced it was probably coming from one of the two joints between the carb and the inlet manifold. I wasn't even aware there was water circulating...

I have a 5 gear K10 1.0L. The box is shot so I got a replacement and figured I'd swap it. The operation looked tricky but do-able. I have lifted boxes in before but usually with my dad.... I found the single handed hoiking quite a damned struggle... Then... it all got worse... the...

I can hear a new weird knocking noise on my K10.. it is more like a tapping. Sounds like the left hand side of the engine. Not wheels.. it will do it when still. It seems to need to warm up before it starts... it is too slow to be a piston etc.. it is regular like a metronome and in...

Hi After perusing these forums I bit the bullet and changed the water pump on my K10. I've never done a timing belt task before and was a little anxious but it went OK. Now though I have developed a new leak - this time from the coolant pipe where it joins the engine under the dipstick. I...
