    IPDM Coding

    Hi All, I have an '07 Micra C+C 1.6 with an intermittent starting problem, After checking a number of things I have learned that a sticky fuel pump relay is responsible. Usually after a little persuasion (Battery off for 10 mins and back on or a tap of the IPDM) I can usually get the car...

    EGR replaced but...

    Brake Pedal travel?

    How old is the brake fluid? The Nissan Workshop manual says it needs to be changed every other service. Seems very very frequent to me but that'd be a starting point for me in this problem Ricky

    Lowering

    Yeah all seems nice, and those wheels look great! Might have to save up for a little bit though :p Did you do anything about the drop links or keep the factory? Ive heard the adjustable drop links from a mk5 golf will fit and allow you to preload the antiroll bar........ Haha the K12 always...

    Lowering

    Hi all, I have a k12 dci, and I cant help but feel the car sits too high and the rear wheels so far in from the body. I was wondering if anyone has any experience track widening and lowering a k12 and what were the results? Was the ride improved or ruined, any reliability concerns or anything...

    Here's the problem - but how do I fix it?

    How secure is the whole air filter housing? On these engines the fuel filter is situated underneath the airbox, so the air filter assembly is dissassembled rather frequently. It may be worth just dissassembling it and reassembling it, making sure it all goes back together properly. Id also make...
