This was my install: https://www.micra.org.uk/threads/the-autobiscuit-tin.64723/#post-725951 (Note: colours don't match as I moved them!) That third pin you see is snipped - it's the sensor input from passenger door, which bridges via the remote box back to the white wire. Meaning that if the...

Hi all, 4 door 1.0 CVT Micra is to go (too small for family!). Shell is a bit tatty, but passed MOT. (Due next March) Has Power steering, remote central locking and rear wiper. Sunroof. Ready to drive away - just add Tax and Insurance! Good bits: - ~35k auto engine, quiet and starts with...

Do both front seatbelts retract properly (quick & smooth)? If so, £8 posted?

I wouldn't bother with an RB lump in a Micra - unless you make room by chopping your legs off (plus it's heavy!) I got one in the boot of a Fiesta - front wheels barely touched the floor and rear suspension bottomed right out :D I'd most likely use the Zetec lump. Silver or Black (blacktop...

Quick google brings up our Aussie cousins: http://www.micra.com.au/community/message.php?messageid=69248 This suggests that there are 2 sets of contacts. One set for position detection (low current) - (likely the one you mean, davyboy), another for high current (inhibitor). You could, for...

No-one said it does? My comment was: 'if' you were to bypass the inhibitor (if in the autobox), don't use the accelerator. whilst starting. You would hopefully be used to checking it in neutral/park first, but it's a second step in keeping the box safe. (to prevent hard use before the oil has...

Our last and current Auto Micra has the same treatment as Muji mentions. I 'think' the switch is in the selector - not the box. But either way, you 'could' get away with bypassing the inhibitor - though I suggest you don't touch the accelerator if in a driving gear, whilst starting - that's...

Do you have the front driver/pass seat belts? If so, do they retract, etc, properly? How much? Cheers!

No probs. May ask another time if still avail, turns out I need more MOT required stuff suddenly!

I know that feeling - bought an 'ok' Sierra Saf (had been resprayed, but could do with a good cut). I pulled the carpet out and found the odd rust spot - once I cut that 1" square, it turned into 1', then more - whole floor pan was rotten from the in-side out and no way to tell from the outside...

Whilst i'm here: - Fixed radio. Just a weird radio, swapped power leads - all good. - Fixed rear wiper: as per usual guides, but instead of packing out the 1" gap, I made 2 cut-outs and angled the track into them. Reason: 1) Had no glue. 2) Nothing to break off over time. Pic for gist: The...

Just above the accelerator pedal - remove the fuse cover and you can see it suspended to the left. It just pulls down, then un-tether from the leads.

Update: - Stage 1 complete (barring welding rear pass footwell for now). Engine starts effortlessly. Lovely. - Stage 2, remote fob unit & radio in (radio looses settings when engine starts though, but not in other positions - off to ign is ok, radio sleeps when ign off, just key over and...

First look - they are a bit short - the car sitting stock will likely pull the cross shocks to the end. So, it's either return them, or use stand-offs...

What did you want? £20?

I have a replacement wing that I'm trying to replace with a better quality part, and this I have noticed that the pillar section seems wider than the pillar and the original wing on the other side. I 'assumed' it was due to being 3 door part fitted to a 5 door (though it may just be a bad wing)...

Oh yeah - also modified rear wiper motor, but cut corners and blew a fuse. :rolleyes: I'll do it properly then :D

No pics, but there are some pics on here. Basically, you need a spot-weld drill-bit (I went through 2, but if I kept them lubed they may have lasted). Unbolt all the bolts (obviously) 10 spot welds each side - mirrored, so if you find one on the left, it'll be there on the right. Pop each...

Weekend: Welded on crossmember, re-assembled final parts, ran it to temp, straightened sills a bit. Today: Took it to work - drives like a dingy in a storm, but it didn't dump allover the motorway. Will fit new sus' tonight and radio. Just need a new drivers-side wing & front & back door...
