So my 2002 K11 Coilpack 1.0 has been off the road for around a month now due to not starting and I still can't figure out the problem. I should point out that up until this point the car was starting every time, every day, week in and week out no problem whatsoever and other than a slight loss...

So...not had a K11 for a few years now, had 2 prior and absolutely love em, one was a bit of a pain mechanically whereas the other one was blessed with that renowned K11 reliability. My question is, is a 17yr old K11 still worth it in 2019... as great as they are i realize they are getting on a...

Does anyone know what the bolt/nut sizes are for the top mount of steering knuckle that connects strut to knuckle....theres two of them, beefy things, and mines are ****ed need new ones asap but don't know the sizes....also can regular bolts be used or does it have to be torsion/high tension...

Hey guys, not been on in a while, bought a focus a while ago, a white mk1 1.8 chipped, nice car, quick but the gearbox went, rusted to bits, and other issues so had to pickup something cheap, of course i defaulted to a micra k11, another 1.0, this time in that slightly woozy bluey/greeny colour...

hey i need to get rid of my micra soon, it will not pass an mot in november when it comes and im not throwing any more money into it, ive already put a ton of new parts in it, i could strip it for parts but thats really inconvenient considering out cupboard space is full. it has problems with...

Ok guys, it's been a while since I've been on here but I've been busy doing bits to the micra. I was playing around with my idle speed today as my engine has been really lumpy at idle, grumbly with a lot of vibration and a constant whine/drone and when I turn on heavy electrical components such...

Is it ok to run without a backbox on a micra?... cant be arsed fettling with grinders and welders to do the proper backbox gut job so gonna just remove it entirely....its blowing anyway and holier than cheese....anyone done this and what differences did you notice?

Hey peeps. yesterday I shortened my air intake hose as in attached picture...im wondering will this negatively affect the engine atall or will the ecu and sensors automatically adjust to this? The standard air intake hose has a few sharp bends and is very long and ends at a location where air...

While browsing some old threads on msc I noticed a few people had "gutted" their micras backbox...presumably removing/drilling out the baffles...this sounds interesting but would this affect low end torque noticeably on a coilpack 1.0? If it didnt have a power loss id consider this

Ok guys. Going to get a set of 4 tyres this week. Currently im running 165/60's atm but not alot of tyres available at this size. Much more available and for cheaper if I can go to a higher profile, could I run say 165/65s or even 165/70s? Whats the maximum profile that would fit? Car has not...

Where can I buy chrome spray paint? Thought it would look awesome spraying my steelies chrome as car is silver. But not seen any in shops? Would it be online only?

Hey guys, today I readjusted my biting point. It was way too high for my liking and a pain when pulling away. Iv adjusted the biting point and pedal height so it bites two inches or less off the floor and it feels perfect bite wise just how I want it. However now fifth gear sometimes doesn't...

Ok so I discovered the old wishbone balljoint was knackered when off the car it rolled about freely...fitted new ns wishbone...its all fitted tightly and correctly however im still getting a knocking from the front ns. Not as bad now and steering is tighter (still to do drivers side in couple...

Would front strut top mount bearings knock if worn? Trying to diagnose my knocking noise. Have eliminated track rod ends (brand new) and anti roll bar (off the car) so has to be either bottom ball joints or strut mounts. Rattles even going over small bumps. Not a hard knocking more a clattering...

Right guys went out to diagnose my knocking suspension this morning and discovered theres alot of play in my strut and I think this is what the knocking is. Tire shake method sees far more play in passenger side than is acceptable. Is this just a case of tightening em up or new struts?. I gpt a...

Hey peeps. I have recently removed both my front callipers to free off, relubricate. Clean up etc. I now have them back on to bleed when I get a moment the question is do I HAVE to bleed the rear nipples even though they werent removed or just the fronts? I didnt bother clamping as im replacing...

Right guys....iv done all the servicing bar oil and oil filter (sometimes skint tells you to wait) and now that im going to do it im a bit confused as to which is the better oil....Castrol magnatec or Castrol Edge. Edge claims a stronger film strength and a few other things....While Magnatec...

Does anyone know how you remove the lowest hub nut bolt on bottom of hub. Iv yet to get the upper bolts off but concerned once I do whether the lower bolt that holds ball joint in will come loose...this one here I mean.. No socket will fit In that

Hi guys, while waiting for my exhaust gaskets to arrive iv been doing some suspension work. Got new track rods and cv joints in my cupboard of goodies so thought id make a start on them. However the track rod end nuts were fused on the bolts so I dragged out the grinder but rather than grinding...

Hi guys my new tps sensor came this morning, and have just fitted to car, however I hear of people talking about adjusting the sensor for the car? It doesnt seem to be manually adjustable, do you have to digitally set it or something or is it just plug and play as I suspect? Obviously ill set...
