For FOOK SAKE!!!! Just pull the engine out already!!!!!!!!! No more issues!!!!

Wet car? Water in fuel?

I had a similar issue that I fixed just this morning - take out the fuel pump/sender/filter/regulator from under the rear seat, attach an old electric fuel pump to the fuel delivery outlet on the assembly, remove the clip that holds in the metal regulator then take out the regulator. Immerse the...

Problem found. Performance suspension installed by "Professionals" . Drivers side damper bolt on the strut not done up tight - result was a clunking.

Having a clunking coming from the front I put the little beast up onto jack stands for a look. To my amazement I found that the front suspension crossmember is not mounted solidly to the body!!! Anyone know of some aftermarket bushes to firm this section up?

My Australian delivered K12 1.4 auto has just clocked 157000km in 3 years and is starting to get a little rattly. After enquiring about the cost of the timing components from Nissan - $1800- I decided to buy a kit from Ebay UK for 220 UK Pounds - $350. The adjustable gear is so bloody heavy it...

Here is a tip - after you take the shields off, go for a drive through heavy traffic - if you smell burning, your feet are getting hot, there is smoke in the cab or people are pointing at your car more than usual - it is a K12 after all- them perhaps they would be better put back on. Also, I...

Regular oil changes made for no difference in mine. Changed oil/filter every 5000km with a top quality synthetic and still have the noise. Currently 156000 km and sounding like a chaff cutter at idle.

Allow wife/girlfriend to sit inside the cabin instead of in the engine bay on cold days?

That would be good Frank. There are heaps for slae on Ebay uk but I will need all the items as there are no manual K12s over here.

Yes we do have the Clio. Was thinking of importing all the necessary items from a wrecked K12 from UK so I know it all fits. Can you suggest any wreckers that would be interested?

WD40 every bolt/nut the night before you start to free them up. Pre oil the turbo by pouring a little oil through the oil intake and turn it manually to lube it up. Remove the fuel pump fuse and turn the engine over a few times after you have it together build up the oil pressure and remove...

I want to convert my 2009 1.4 to manual as they were only delivered to Australia in auto. Looking for someone to provide a complete package of required items.

Not really. Get yourself a programme and a cable and do your own diagnostics. Pretty cheap on ebay. A lot cheaper than throwing parts at it.

To see if you have an intake leak, spray an ether based (aerostart etc) on the gasket areas of the intake manifold to see if this varies the idle( it should make the engine race)

120000km and my rocket us starting to tramline( bumpsteer). Have had numerous wheel alignments, tyre rotations etc to no good effect. Seems to be a small amount of play/clicking in either the rack ends or the rack. Is this a common issue at this distance? Still under extended warranty...

too many cd s already in there?

Did not know that they came with independent rear suspension. Take a look at the camber on the lowered blue car!!!

The timing chain tensioner operates on oil pressure and being at the top of the engine and on the end of the pressure circuit is the last item to be operated.
