    Any hub cap suggestions

    Never thought of that. Any pictures? You mean in silver? Don't like black hub caps on my colour car, so probs won't like black paint.

    Any hub cap suggestions

    Got a K11C W reg in silver. Any suggestions for hub caps? Can't afford alloys yet, but would like something at least half decent. Mine are naff / unmatching. 14". Anyone got any pictures of their own ones (on silver K11s), with links to where they bought them? Hard to judge how they look...

    Noise when doing over 65mph+

    Ok. I'm not familiar with car parts and servicing myself, so will have a friend help. Is there any more details you can give so I can pass along to my helper? Do I just mention a slack fan-belt, or is there another name and something else it's linked to, where it's located, etc. Any specifics to...

    Noise when doing over 65mph+

    I realised it's not so much based on speed. I was doing it all before in gear 5, but doing about 50 downhill in gear 4 had the same effect. So it's something about the high revs? Also smelt some rubber or something come through the car at about 70 when holding it there.

    Noise when doing over 65mph+

    I've only been using my K11 local driving, so speed has been 30-40. I decided to give it a burn on a dual carriageway for the first time and it happily rides to 60mph, but when it reaches around 65ish and over I get this intermittent sound, not constant, come and go. I have no idea what the...

    Installing cigarette lighter

    The spade connectors I bought fit into the T socket but the ciggy wires will need splicing as they're female (like the spades). A friend's gonna help. Just to be sure then, in the picture above with the + and -, I want to wire the black cable into the - and the red cable into the + and voila...

    Replacing driver side mirror

    I have a K11C (facelift) and I need a replacement mirror for the drivers side (the clip on part). Do I need a facelift specific one or will this regular K11 one fit: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390727320743?ru=http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=390727320743&_rdc=1

    Installing cigarette lighter

    Now you're confusing me. :( Why do I need to test if they're outputting electricity? I'm not trying to troubleshoot anything. Just want to know which wire goes where. Now I know it's the T socket to use, I was suggested to buy those crimp connectors which I have. Just want to know which wires I...

    Installing cigarette lighter

    I've bought some 6.3mm male crimp connectors. So I need to use the red AND black cables, not just the red? In their respective + and - sockets noted earlier, right?

    Installing cigarette lighter

    Do I need a male spade crimp connector for both the red and black cables, to both go into the T socket?

    Installing cigarette lighter

    I had a look in my local scrappy the other day, only had one K11 which didn't have one fitted either. So basically I need to buy a spade to turn the one red wire into a "spade" that goes into the T socket's female spade? The other black cable just gets left? The 2nd red is just the light I...

    Installing cigarette lighter

    I think I've confused you. When I fitted it I meant I simply placed it in the hole, unwired and not functioning, as a place holder. All I have available on the car is that T plug, which by the looks of other threads is indeed the appropriate one. The black and 2 red cables all came with the...

    Installing cigarette lighter

    I think mine must be different than most as it doesn't look like it has the connector for it. It did say universal on the packet though (I think it's Sakura). It already had another red cable for the led which I hadn't pictured. There's some more pics attached. I'm guessing the only way would...

    Installing cigarette lighter

    What do I do with the black and red cables? You're saying all I need is the T plug to go in the back of it?

    Installing cigarette lighter

    In my W reg K11C, there's just a blank plug where the cig lighter should be. I've bought a cig lighter but I don't know how to connect it. Any help would be appreciated. I'd rather not be splicing anything but rather find an adapter if necessary. I'm a total car and electrical noob so go easy...

    Which Haynes for K11C?

    Thanks! :) Just seen your thread btw, you weren't kidding! I always get curious now when I see K11s myself too :). Makes me jealous though I have the 1 litre, everyone else seems to have 1.4s he he. The 1 litre is still fairly nippy as it is, but I wonder how much nicer the 1.4s are?

    Which Haynes for K11C?

    I have a W reg Micra. From comparison shots I've seen on the net, I have the K11C model. The Haynes manual out there is for the K11, is it still okay to use it for the K11C? This is the one I'm looking to buy: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008CE7MOS Thanks guys
