    Coils Corroded - MOT Advisory - Time to replace after 28 Yrs? Suggestions?

    auto fluid possible issue

    If it came out red it was still in fairly good condition, my slx is a manual but my s60 is an auto, I changed the oil 2 months ago and it was black as. Does your car have the code reading function? I wouldn’t think the eml is connected to the gearbox but I could easily be wrong

    Why can I never get the right parts.

    if you google the Nissan micra k11 March, it looks like it was built in Taiwan for the Asian market. Would explain the subtle design differences. I had a british built 87 Capri 2ltr laser and a German built 1.6ls, Drive train parts were different on them. The guy who fit’s my exhausts...

    Busy time with the 94 slx!

    I had trouble getting the k11 insured at 20 years old, we have a restricted amount of companies who will cover in Northern Ireland, Direct Line we’re the only company who would cover her, £143 for that first year ironically! Drifted over 6 years up to £161 which I don’t think is bad considering...

    MOT time after the 2 year extended gap

    First look I have had at the ‘94 SLX since the 2019 mot, she doesn’t let me down? Loving the ‘big’ pile of rust I cleaned of the rear while removing the old, useless panhard?? Got a gizfab panhard on the way, has anyone used a gizfab and kept the car more or less standard instead of lowered...
