    newbie

    welcome wayne, sounds nice :) pics would be good! TBH sounds aren't my thing so I've found the stock stereo very good inc the 6 disc changer, but I understand if that's what your into standard won't be good enough. jen- good idea on the control knobs, the white ones in mine do look like...

    K12 Tailgate Badge Removal?

    Hi All, I'm back in the fold after 4 years of having a yaris- now have a K12. I was thinking about de-badging the tailgate, where the "micra" badge is and the model badge on the other side. Are they just held on with adhesive or are there pins aswell? Is it possible to remove the badges...

    Changing 1.0 Headgasket -all systems go !!

    you'll prob need a longer bar than a foot long one if its siezed on. i did a wishbone on a sera the other week and we used a 3 foot bar, the bolts came out with ease. if that isnt long enough a scaffolding tube extension will help. don't use your mums vacum cleaner attachments, they won't be...

    Lol just how rubbish ARE k10 brakes!

    I think the K10 standard brakes are great! I find them more than good enough for normal driving and they have enough bite when really needed. I'm comparing to a much heavier car though, bloody toyota tank- which does have crap brakes.

    wrong cam belt

    I think its an age thing. I cant remember for sure which way round it was, but i think I bought a belt which was too short and apparently suited earlier models, sold it on to a prefacelift owner who used it. Mines a 91 facelift.

    actually i've just sold off all my SU stuff, I had a pair of HS4's ready to rebuild and bolt on just for the hell of it- until I realised i just wasnt going to get time. never done it myself but have read up on them, but they seem easy enough to tune I cant see why bolting another hitachi on...

    Brake Warning Light - K10

    it will probarly be the sensor for the handbrake, mine used to do that until I tightened it up- all is OK now although it was fun trying to keep the light on all the way to work.

    Handbrake - too much side movement

    amen to that! you wrote exactly what i was thinking :) as for the rivets, could it be worth blocking one side and hammering / gunning the other before you fork out for a replacement? Chances are the shanks are worn but it could help a little. please remember i cant remember what the...

    Quick Oil Q

    i found my micra a breeze- compared to a transverse mounted toyota twin cam anyway. took me about half an hour just to get the upper cam cover off....... bring back RWD, and keyhole surgery will be a thing of the past :)

    super s anyone ?

    ooh get a capri- never drove one myself, but the handling should be great, the 2.8i's had a reputation- but I think that was mainly due to V6 torque, LSD and light rear end with an idiot up front! I had a 60 BHP RWD escort (same setup, mac struts up front, live axle and cart springs on the...
