Having had a Corolla for the last few months, I am thinking of getting another Micra.. will miss the boot space but the Corolla is slower than my old K10 and eats petrol like a demon! Have seen a couple of 1.4 K11s for sale, are these much faster than the 1.3s? Seem to remember someone...

Very reluctantly getting rid of my baby! Putting it on Ebay at the weekend for £600-700, but would like it to go to a good home. Passed MOT yesterday no problems, the tester remarked what good condition in and was surprised there is no rust on the crossmember. Has been garaged much of its life...

Hi folks havent been on this site awhile (mainly because my lil' baby has been behaving perfectly). Am thinking of upgrading to a slightly bigger and safer car, and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for Ms Fussy! Want a hatchback, ideally 5 doors but compact, sunroof that slides...

Check out the Trypshop, weekly psychedelic podcast by Mark Vidler - its wicked! Showing my age a bit here..... http://trypshop.blogspot.com/

Something seems to be draining the battery, and I'm wondering how to check what is doing it? When I got the car less than a year ago the battery was knackered so I bought a new one and everything seemed OK for months. However I'm now doing more short runs in the dark with the lights and...

Spotted this very retro car on Bristol Gumtree this morning! £675 ono. Anyone interested? Link here http://bristol.gumtree.com/bristol/82/14284482.html

Remind me never to drive in Bath again.. its a nightmare of badly marked, illogical diversions and one-ways, with a building site in the centre. Didnt realise I was in a bus lane, but got snapped by a CCTV and a £30 fine - scary the amount of detail they can pick up! The most annoying thing is...

Drove over a couple of massive potholes at a festival at the weekend, and since then the exhaust has been making more and more noise! Had a look today and there is a hole in the rear of the backbox (other end to the tailpipe). Its pretty rusty and I can put my finger through it, assume it...

I was driving along yesterday and something fell on my foot, making me jump a bit! .. on further inspection it is a small black box (about 10x6x3cm) with a bunch of wires attached to it, and the wires come from behind the dash above the footwell. It looks like the box used to be glued to the...

Is this someone here's pride and joy? Nissan March, with central number plate (J reg - didnt know they were made then) and instead of engine size said A+ on the back. Identical to mine otherwise, grey-mauve 5 door.

My driver's side wiper is squeaking horribly (think tortured cat being dragged down a blackboard..) and its doing my head in. Anyone got any tips? The wipers are new-ish Bosch ones, and the screenwash is new pink Halfords stuff. Have tried Rain-X, vinegar and screen cleaner to no avail...

This website is aimed at cyclists, but we all have to share the road and the pics on here demonstrate the idiocy of some local councils, how they put cyclists in danger of being hit by cars. I have been knocked off my bike twice by cars, and also nearly hit a couple of cyclists myself when...

Just found this website which looks like its for student mechanics, has a few of videos on it, of basic maintenance jobs and animated diagrams of how things work. Is American so some things are named differently..and the voice is rather irritating, but it taught me a few things. Haynes could...

My clutch is on its way out, and having been quoted £385 by my usual garage (because it is a 180mm clutch, apparantly. Or do I just look like a sucker?) am looking to buy a kit myself and am shopping around for cheaper mechanics. 1) Is £385 way over the top to replace a clutch on the 1.3...

Have read the 'tuning your K11 - FAQ' and it suggests that K&N with modified air feed is the best setup. I've got the K&N, and would like to try this, has anyone got pics of successful setups? I'm not a mechanic and its hard to visualise from the descriptions - dont want to end up making...

Only just found these - is this anyone from the MSC? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-MICRA-K10-T-Shirt-LARGE-more-sizes-available_W0QQitemZ250084471166QQihZ015QQcategoryZ313QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Very cool!

My L reg K11 LX is lacking that buzzer that goes off when you accidentally leave the lights on and open the door. My old K10 had it, and the facelift K11s have it. Anyone know if the early K11s never had an alarm, or if it might be just a fuse gone or a loose wire somewhere? Or if there is a...

Havent had my K11 long, but have managed to lock the brakes and skid badly twice in the last week.:wow: The first time a suicidal cyclist shot out of a turning right in front of me without looking - def his lucky day as I stopped just on his wheel - and tonight a car pulled out and I skidded...

My car (L reg) has an immobiliser, looks like a small jack plug which goes into the dash next to the steering wheel. I have never used it as there is only one key, and I know I'd lose it! Can you get spares or are they stupidly expensive?
