Hi all I was wondering if any of you could give me any advice for changing a clutch myself? I'm going to do it mainly because the garage my partner took it to a couple of years back didn't do it properly (only changed the friction plate). And one of the headlights didn't work. I'm...

I'm all the way down in Telford, Shropshire unfortunately :( Cheers for the offer though buddy P

Hi all I was wondering if anyone could give me some info about the best place to get the following parts. Approx 20 of those annoying plastic trim fixings that break for fixing on the engine and wheel arch splash guards. A couple of little dashboard bulbs for the speedo light. Many...

UPDATE: Thanks for all your help fella's with my problem. Car is now fixed with a new heater matrix and by cleaning up/drying out the ECU. It was relatively easy but time consuming to do. It took about 4 hrs in total from start to finish. Again, many thanks for your help

Yes - i should imagine its quite unusual. Fantastic!!! It did have solidified antifreeze on the circuit board which i've cleaned with alcohol. It's come up quite nice now (fingers crossed it will work when i've dried out the car) My next problem is getting to the heater matrix. According to...

UPDATE: I've now found out what has caused this malfunction. Before calling auto electricians etc. to recode the key I thought i'd check the ECU connections. To my horror the carpet was wet and so was the ECU. I've opened up the ECU and cleaned the parts where it had got damp (there was a build...

Thats bad news. How do I go about getting it reprogrammed? Also, how much would you sell me a 'piggyback' unit to remove the NATS system for?

I'm based in Telford :) Thanks Frank :)

Thanks for all the replies chaps. All sorted now managed to get codes. There were non. Also checked the O2 sensor - functioning correctly. Thanks for the offer of the RAC Diagnostics scanner - very kind of you Paul

Hi all Having just replaced the front crossmember and sorted the brakes the car flew through it's MOT. However, it seems to be using a fair amount of fuel as of late and also doesn't run quite as smoothly. I would appreciate any advice on how to check the fault codes. I also own...

Do the headlights need to come off if i'm just changing out the lower section and not the whole pannel? He he, yep the headlights do need to come off to get the bumper off as i've just done it all. The grill removal and headlight removal was a royal P.I.T.A. due to the clips and the...

Hi This is my first post on the forum so be gentle lol. I am about to start stripping my micra vibe to change out the lower front crossmember. It would be really good to know what needs to come off in order to change it out. Do i need to take just the bumper off if i'm just doing...
