Does the front passenger seat of a 5 door tilt all the way forward? To help with fitting my bicycle in, you see. Ta in advance.

So, I can carry my bike with the rear seats folded, but it sticks out the back. The hatch stays open about a foot, tied down with a bungee around the wiper post and bike handlebar. I think (hope) that with the front windows open a few inches I'm safe from exhaust fumes coming in. Any thoughts...

My '03 with 120,000 miles has "TMC WP 95000" written on the engine cover with Tippex, what can it mean? I'm kinda hoping...

Hi, my '03 K12 starts and runs beautifully, except sometimes: Starts fine, but cuts out after a few hundred yards, will re-start fine after a few mins. Recently, if turned off refuses to start for a while. Thinking dirt in pump, tank was 1/4 full, so put more in started then. No check engine...

Finally got around to masking and applying clear coat to the areas I had previously primed and base coated. I bought the car back in December with large areas of paint flaking off, and getting steadily worse. It's a 2003 in Cornflower Blue, I saw a same year and colour K12 with similar paint...

Hi, my driver's side window sometimes refuses to go down, when it works it seems normal enough. There is no sound at all when it refuses to go, so likely not the mechanism itself. How would I get at the switch to apply some cleaner, or any other ideas? (I'd hate it to get stuck down!) Oh, and I...

Hi, I've just got one of these fellas working, yay, just wondering about leaving it plugged in all the time. It does have a power on/off switch on it, but still not sure. Any ideas? I suppose I will run a parasitic drain test and see, but what experience do you guys have? Thx.

(K12 '03 1.0L, 110k miles) So I'm cruising along, engine warm, need to down shift for a turn, into 4th and 3rd is fine, changing to 2nd is not so nice, not crunching but baulkier, stiffer. Double de-clutching makes no difference. I'm reluctant to spend 60-80 bucks on gearbox oil, is there a...

She passed the NCT (MOT to some) today, not a bother! Think I'll treat myself to an OBD2 device, change the oil and filter, maybe wait for warmer weather to do something about the paint that is missing in patches. Oh, and do some rust treatment. Fab. ?

I was thinking of applying Hammerite underbody seal with waxoyl, however I've been re-felting my shed and find I have a good bit of Bostik felt adhesive left over. It's black and gloopy like treakle, and claims to remain flexible, moving with the felt as the temperature changes. So, I'm...

What am I seeing here? First pic is a flake of paint, which is a different colour underneath. Does that mean it's top coat and primer combined? Second pic seems to show top coat, some primer and some galvanised metal? So, would etch primer be the best bet? I have some top coat in the correct...

I have a Nissan Micra K12 Factory Workshop Manual But it's 304mb of PDFs, (or 138mb zip) I'm not sure how to post it, assuming anyone's interested? I keep getting "run into a problem". It's from this site...

Ok, I've change a few oil filters before, but the last time on my K11, I wound up with oil flowing up my arm. Rats. So, I dunno, a plastic bag over the filter...hard to keep in place with all the turning involved. Stick a pokey thing through to let it drain more controllably? I have a variety of...

So the rear light cluster is held by two 10mm bolts, but there is a hidden clip too. Do I pull the assembly straight back, or tilt it or what? There is some condensation in there I'd like to get rid of. Thanks.

Hi, my new-to-me K12 sounds ok with a Sony head unit, wondering about cheap upgrades, I have 2 6x9 out of my lamented K11, wish I still had the pillar tweeters. Are the standard speakers blaupunkt and not too bad? RMS power rate? Looking for an clear, balanced sound, no mega bass or that kind of...

She starts fine from cold but if stalled or stopped v. hard to restart. Starts very nicely even very cold and ticks over grand, runs fine too but can cut out in slow traffic, maybe my fault, or if I switch off it's very reluctant to start again for some minutes. Then she runs well again. Once...

I see the above deal at €20.66 euro or Sterling equivalent. Just sayin'.

Silly, I know but...how do YOU get out? My previous K11 was a three door, the B pillar was further back so my right hand would go to the door frame where B met the floor, and I'd leaver myself out. My K12 is a five door so the B pillar is further to the front, making that more awkward. Perhaps...

Hi, my new-to-me 2003 K12 1.0 speedometer seem to under read, compared to the revs and GPS. (I read the car is geared 18.6 mph per 1k rpm.) At 2k rpm the clock says 33mph, should say 37 or so. At 2.5k rpm, speedo 40, should be 46. My GPS can be hard to lock on, but when it does it seems to say...

Hi, my new to me 2003 K12 in blue has paint missing in patches, right down to the galvanised metal. I'll get a rattle can of the right colour made up, will I need primer on first? I don't expect a perfect finish, just tidy it up a bit and stop it getting worse. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions...
