    Recommended sump sealant for the 1.2

    Got an advisory that the sump has rusted and oil is seeping through. I can get a new sump off ebay, but there's no gasket, it's a sealant job. None of the sumps I've seen come with sealant, so what's the recommended sealant for the sump?

    Came out this morning to see this on the bonnet, a chunk of paint missing. It's look like it's lifted off the primer. Is this a common micra thing? or just someone's poor respray job?

    The ads are getting a bit over the top, seem to have banner ads between each of the topics when looking at new posts. Can they be cut back a bit?

    1.2 exhaust front pipe to middle section gasket

    I got the rear box and mid sections of the exhaust replaced a few weeks ago. It's started leaking at the joint to the front pipe. It used to be a great little business, but they have sold it on and those there now are just cowboys, I'm not going back no matter what. I was going to have a look...

Got home to read the codes from the ABS module and it says "RH pre-tentioner" I presume this is at the seatbelt buckle, they dont liike like they have pre-tensioners, more like a solid metal bar holding the catch. Do they K12s have pre-tensioners? if...

    What's the typical clutch life on a 1.2?

    I've not had time to look at this yet, but the front driver's disk is noticably hotter than the passenger after hearing a brake squeal when driving. Any usual suspect for the micra? slides or is it normally the piston?

    Rear exhaust heat shield

    How vital is the heatshield over the back box on the micra? I'm guessing not that important, but it must have been put there for a reason. I had a rattle from the back of the car, had a look and the heat shield over the backbox had come loose. I pushed it back up to see what fixings were...

    1.2 oil filter, pain of a place

    That oil filter on the 1.2 is on a pain of a place to get a good grip for tightening, you can only get one hand to it, and your arm is at full stretch, from the side, or underneath, or from the top. I know it'll be tight enough, I can get it physically any tighter by hand, I'd be happier with a...
