Will this fit a CR14DE engine?

Checked the timing today as per the Haynes manual, and it was virtually spot-on. Just need to check it again when I get a rev counter as I suspect the idle speed is a bit low. Thanks again.

Thanks. I have a timing light, it just never occurred to me to check the timing. All the other cars I've worked on with efi have a crank position sensor on the crank, which can't be adjusted, and don't need the timing to be set.

When I did the head gasket on my K11, I just put the distributor back in the same position it came from. Do I need to check the ignition timing or will the ecu cope with a tiny amount of misalignment?

Works both ways I suppose. I've lost count of the number of times I've PM'd someone on here about stuff they are aparrently trying to sell. Get no response. A few days later they are bumping it.

Put the correct pressure in the tyres for a while and see if the problem goes away.

Steel wheels on my K11 facelift are 155 70 13. www.event-tyres.co.uk do them for £32 each fitted at your house.

The PCV uses inlet vacuum to create airflow through the crankcase to stop condensation in the crankcase. The valve on the inlet manifold regulates the amount of air being sucked from the crankcase via the laft hand pipe on the rocker cover. The pipe on the right hand side of the rocker cover...

Not selling it to me then?

To convert from 59.1 mm to 60.1 mm you would need a spigot ring which is 0.5mm thick, giving a total increase in diameter of 1mm. As you say, not practical really :(

Yes, there's a bit of curbing on one wheel, but what can you expect for £35? It's a shame the tyres are too big because there's loads of tread left on them.

SED5000 here are the pictures. Well, you did ask! Whey weren't off a Clio at all, they were off a Ka which is 4X108 pcd. They are multi hole though, so they fit the Micra. I even ordered the correct spigot rings to get then centralised. The only annoying thing is that one of the centre caps is...

I have the chance of some aftermarket wheels that were on a Clio. I know the PCD is the same, but will the centre hole match? Anyone know?

I'll have this if it doesn't go to the Netherlands

What is the operating temp of the thermostat in the K11? I'm sure sure it's meant to be 88 Degrees. Most of the car shops round here dish out an 82 degree one when you ask for a replacement. Does anyone have the correct Nissan spec for the thermostat?

Is there a thread somewhere which tells me about your turbo micra?

My K11 seems to judder a lot when idling, which makes me think that the idle speed is too low. Should the idle speed be controlled by the ECU via an idle control valve? Or do I have to set it using the throttle stop screw?

Your pictures aren't close-up enough but the top of piston no3 looks like mine did when the head gasket failed there (mine failed at no2), ie a bit pitted. See this thread http://www.micra.org.uk/showthread.php?t=34383 You should have noticed the cooling system getting over pressurised though.

The lead in leaded petrol will contaminate the catalytic convertor, eventually blocking it.
