Anyone tried toothpaste/baking soda/ 'other random household items' for cleaning headlights? Lots of stuff on youtube, haven't tried them myself.

Plastic rings that cover the top of each spring are broken. Anyhow, I took the car back to the local garage to double check the springs which are indeed broken :/. The 220 quid he quoted originally included springs at 60 quid each. I asked him to quote for pattern parts, said it should be 40...

Sorry plastic bits are at top of springs not bottm...

It failed on broken springs. Im suspicious, drove 750 miles in it last week, no clunks or dodgy handling or dropped suspension. I know the plastic discs on the bottom end of the springs are broken but the springs look okay to me. When I queried the fail, the halfords bloke said they might just...

Yeah not a difficult job, so 140 quid for labour seems excessive even accounting for vat. The MOT was done at halfords, they quoted 252 quid. The guy i usually go to works with his son out of a small unit, word of mouth business been there for years, so thought he would be cheaper. Think I'll...

Hi. Ive been quoted 220 (!) quid to replace the front coil springs after an MOT failure. Seems a bit steep to me, the springs are about 40 quid each I believe. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Cheers

I know it's an old thread but I had the same problem today. Disconnected the battery for just a few seconds, all good and didnt need the radio code. :)

Cheers for that, I need a touchup so will do the same. :)

I guess you're right. Looking at the recalls listed elsewhere I dont think I'll worry too much. I can check the steering wheel bolt(s) myself and the ecu problem is unlikely to appear tbh. Think I'll just cross me fingers :)

Thanks for the update. Well done in rescuing a unique motor, breaking would have been a real shame. Whatever your opinion regarding the rather feminine makeover, an automotive curiosity and head turner no doubt. I thought I had a low miles 05 160sr at 27k, 18 miles takes the prize I guess...

As I posted elsewhere, just bought an 05 160sr. How can I find out if the recall remedials have been carried out? The car has full history but cant see any ref to recall repairs. Would nissan have any record? Thx

New wheels are more stylish and less in your face. I like it :)

Interesting thread, any new developments?

Thanks for the welcome and apologies for the deception :)

Now Ive got your attention, just sayin hello ;) New to the forum and just bought a 2005 160SR with 28k on it, great fun. Hoping I can get some useful tips here as well as havin a laugh. My fourth micra, two k11 and two k12. Also had an almera, but love my micras.
