I can't do as I planned with the car, so it has to go, either spares or repairs. 51 plate, stripped interior, Mountney "M" steering wheel. Was running when garaged in October. No MOT. I have most of the interior still, including front door cards with the cup holders in. £150, Collection...

Owing to certain circumstances I have to abandon my Micra project, so some bits are up for sale. Gearbox: Bought to replace my noisy one but not fitted due to other things Also including Brand New In Box 3 piece clutch kit. £50 the lot, no offers. Collection from Hoddesdon, Herts.

SO, changing the steering wheel on my car, and removing the rear seats, carpets, and inner door panels qualifies as a MODIFICATION to my insurance company! Result: They will cancel the policy! Another insurer says "Sure, we'll do it for only 200 quid more than you WERE paying (so that's a new...

okay, I now think its the gearbox that's dying by degrees, so I have a question: Is there any advantage in fitting a GA14 gearbox to my late CG10 over a replacement K11 gearbox e.g. stronger, better cruising ratios etc? Or should I just get a stock box? TiA.

We'll get to the "But" in a minute. Meanwhile a short pictorial.... How do we get from THIS: To THIS: ? By the use of THIS! Yes, that is MY blood!

... In the merry merry month of August With all the rain we've had I was getting a bit pissed off with the puddle that kept appearing in the passenger side footwell, especially as I thought I'd found the cause. Off came the scuttle over the wiper mechanism, had a brush around to get the dirt...

Pretty much what it says in the title. I'm changing all my bulbs to LEDs (because I'm a sad git). Should I go for a replacement Indicator Relay, or fit resistors?

The clutch is being done this weekend, and as most people recommend draining the oil from it before starting I'll need to replace it. What oil do people suggest for a 107K mile K11C 1.0 gearbox?

This switch cluster is what I'm talking about..... There's no illumination, and also the Hazard light doesn't flash (but I don't know if the switch should flash). Anyone? (Yes, I've tried prising it out with a screwdriver but it won't budge.)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151362810873?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:VRI&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2661 I'd have it, but as I have no back seats it'd be a bit of a waste :)

I have my Sports wheel, I have the Tamper Resistant Torx bits, I have all the things needed........ BUT can I get the f*&£ing bolts to even BUDGE? Can I my BOTTOM!! So, does anyone have any advice on how to get the bolts undone so I can get the airbag off, and then change the steering wheel? I...

What size is it? I ask because I've ordered some LED Bolts for the back, and now I need to get a rubber bung/grommet to fill the hole the wires went through. Cheers.

Because my bonnet rattles around when I'm at speed I want to secure it somewhat better. Has anyone fitted bonnet pins, and if so have you got a How-To on fitting them? :)

You know the bits I mean: Those annoying little spring clips that hold the winding handles on, and ping off into the wide blue yonder when you take the bloody things off!! I have lost ALL of mine (I am a genius at losing things), so I wondered if anyone knew a supplier for new ones, rather than...

It happens if I'm accelerating hard between gearchanges: Drop the clutch and the revs take about a second before they start to drop. Is it a problem with the Throttle cable, the butterfly in the TB, or the TPS? Car is a 2001 Coilpack engine 1.0, as you may have guessed ;) Please help!

The latest in the "How long SHOULD it take..." series. I know they're FUBAR because of the scrunching noise I get from the rear if I have to brake really hard. Any pointers/Tips/Things to NOT do?

The header says it all really. I don't think the oil has been checked in my K11 since it was new, and since then it's done 106K so it's probably due replacement. Any suggestions?

Please note the capitalised "Should", because I'm a Nihilist my nature tends towards the worst case scenario. ;) Also, are there any hints/tricks/tips/shortcuts anyone can give me that make the job easier? I am a Mechanical Luddite.

Are the hinges the same on the front and back doors on a 5 Door K11? I was just wondering if I could swap the back hinges for the saggy fronts. Anyone know?

The front Passenger door has the dreaded sag. I understand this is due to the hinge pins wearing down. Can these be replaced, or does the whole hinge need replacing? Klang
