I was trying to get the fuel filter off in my K11 yesterday and not having much luck. Simple enough job - undo the jubilee clips and pull. But she ain't comin! Any hints/tips or do I just go back and apply brute force until the fuel line splits and I swear a lot :upside: (or the filter...

Not generally what you'd expect in a Micra, but I've finally fitted my in car PC. :grinning: It's got a 7" lilliput touch screen mounted where the stereo used to go (I modified the centre console to fit it in), and the PC is mounted under the drivers seat. It's got USB in the glove box...

Can anyone recommend a company that offers insurance purely for car audio equipment? The value of mine's going up, and if anyone nicks the car, I'd at least like to get the audio stuff back for the next car!! Cheers

I'm knocking myself up a lovely car-pc, but one of the things I want in the software is something that tracks the fuel gauge. Does anyone know a sensible place to tap the fuel gauge sender voltage? I haven't looked yet, but I guess there's a point on the fuel tank, and something behind the...

Has anyone replaced the ariel on a K11? I've got an amplified DAB/FM antenna to stick on my car, and I just wondered if anyone can offer advice about getting the old one out and wiring the new one... Cheers

Does anyone know where to get hold a cable to connect a PC to the Consult connector in my K11? Also, what information can I get out of it? Cheers

Can anyone give me an idea of where to get the earth from for an under the seat amp install. At the momnet, I've found a nut under the dash on the passenger side, but I've only got 1m of earth cable so the amp is in the passenger foot well. Where has anyone else taken the earth from...

I changed my ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) yesterday. No problems - just wanted to say that it was really easy and if anyone else wants/needs to do it then it's not a complicated task. The capacity of the box and filter is supposed to be 4.2 litres, but I only needed to replace just...

Has anyone adjusted the headlight alignment on a K11? My understanding is that's it a fairly difficult thing to get right, but I'm guessing it's not difficult to adjust things a bit. At the moment, one of my lights is quite successfully blinding the person in front of me, and not doing too...

Hi All Just took my CVT electromagnetic clutch brushes out this morning to check out the wear, and I took a few pics with my phone (couldn't find my DSLR camera!!). The first one (Brushes.jpg) shows the brushes removed from the gearbox - you can just see the wear lines towards the top end...

Is it for stopping things rattling, or is it for stopping road noise? Or a bit of both? I notice people spending >£100 on Dynamat - where do you put that much and what does it stop? Cheers

A barrage of questions.... What's the induction kit comprise? And how much does it cost? And will it improve fuel economy? And what else will it do? Cheers!

Has anyone actually changed the brushes on a CVT gearbox? If so, what was the car like before and after? I've had a scary conversation with Nissan about them. Basically, they are an inspection item at 27k miles, not a replacement (my car's done 41k miles). And apparently, when you take the...

You may have noticed my other posts on here about my door SPS-171A's. Now thinking of getting an amp for the front. (a) what sort of power do I need (the SPS-171A's are peak 250W) and (b) where the hell do you put an amp in the front? Maplin have got one for £40 (2x100W RMS) by...

I was going to change the brushed in my gearbox (CVT), and I expected about £20 or so (with them actually being worth a couple of quid)... I was a bit suprised when I phoned Nissan an firstly the guy told me you can't replace any parts. So I corected him, then he went of for 5 minutes and...

Just bought some pads an discs from Halfords (total is £60). Can I do better? I've got a speedy supercar thingy and people recommend Green Stuff pads for that on the appropriate forum, and I think I've seen mention of that on this forum, but I couldn't find any prices. Also, I've seen a...

Evenin'! My car seems to take quite a while to pull away at roundabouts and junctions (the revs go up, then it takes a bit of time to start pulling). Also, it's getting poorer at going up hills. Just wondered if this is the brushes wearing on the magnetic clutch? I was thinking of...

Hi I've installed a set of Alpine SPS-171A component speakers into the car (a K11), and to be honest it all sounds bloody awful! :doh: I've got a 10" sub and 400W amp in the boot, so the bass is fine. And the tweeters work lovely, but the woofers don't seem to be doing much (they're...

Now, I realise this may well offend a lot of people grr here but... Is a Micra the best what people aspire to? :wow: I mean it in a genuinely interested sense. I've got one, which I use for commuting generally, and I have a nice HU and sub/amp etc in the boot. Love the car for it's...

Just been playing with the car (k11) now that I have my Alpine SPS-171As (components), and found that the car (a GLX) already has some tweeters behind the grills on the B post (I think it's the B post - the one by the windscreen). Well, I was suprised - I thought they were only there for...
