Hi all, As per the title, I'm looking for a driver's door in Apple Green Metallic to fit to our 1998 (facelift) K11. It's a 3 door car and has the 2 part bump strip on the door. Thanks.

If it is running 15:1 at idle/low throttle, thats fine. If that figure is at high revs, it is dangerously lean. Ideally, you want to be running leaner than stoichiometric (14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel) at low revs to foster good fuel economy and throttle response. At high revs, you need to...

Picked her up today. Drives really well. Only a couple of minor problems that the seller "forgot" about: The heater fan only works on the top speed. I've put a parts request in for a resistor on parts gateway. The stereo doesn't power up. I've yet to diagnose this, could just be a fuse but...

I wouldn't necessarily confine myself just to Fuchs products, Halfords 10W-40 semi synthetic would be fine for your needs. Valvoline oil is also excellent and widely available. AFAIK its Castrol who make oil for Halfrauds. Speak to the manager of your local store and ask him for a trade card as...

9 times out of 10, an optical interface on a hi-fi is going to be an input and not an output.

Good deal. Just make sure you don't put more than a 90 degree bend on the optical cable ;)

You could definitely use Edge, don't know if I'd pay the price they ask for it though. With most of the name brands we are used to hearing about, you are paying for nothing more than the name, their sponsorships and their advertising costs. The oil in the carton is very often not as good as a...

Sounds like a sticky hydraulic tappet to me or if the Micra engine is not equipped with them I'd say its a valve clearance issue.

Diesel specific oil generally has higher detergency than general purpose or petrol specific oil. It will do no harm at all to use diesel specific 10W-40 semi synthetic in the micra petrol engine. Engine flush will not eat away the rubber seals of the engine, all engines have rubber seals. If a...

Definitely the best way to do it.

Thanks Frank. Its only done 53k so hopefully it won't be too problematic. I've read up about the carbon clutch brushes etc and I'll change the transmission fluid along with the oil, I do this on my Hilux Surf Auto to keep nice clean fluid in the box.

If you have an optical out on your PS3 or TV and an optical in on your hifi, the optical cable will give you the best sound quality. I have one running from my SKY+ HD box to my home cinema setup. If you can avoid running anything from the TV, you'll get far better sound quality by going direct...

Tesco sell a cable with a 3.5mm headphone plug on one end and 2 phono plugs on the other. This will do the job for you.

I spoke to the chap I'm buying it from today, he sounds like a nice enough guy. I read on honest john that the only major points to check are the front chassis crossmember, the sills, a rattling cam-chain and clunks when going into gear or difficulty moving the CVT auto gearbox selector. Do...

Thanks for the replies. It does look very clean, I must admit I'm very wary of a clean engine bay, I always think they're trying to hide a major oil leak or something. I'll give it a good once over. Are there any common issues with the 1.0 litre engine and auto gearbox I should be aware of...

The phono sockets on the back of your TV are input only so won't work for connecting to your hi-fi. Doesn't the PS3 have phono sockets on the back? If it does, you should go straight from the PS3 to the Hi-Fi, this will give the cleanest audio signal possible.

Hi Everybody (I'm not Dr Nick from the Simpsons :laugh: ) I've just bought this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250553274312&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT It'll be our first K11 having had a K10 Auto a couple of years back. I've basically bought the car as a...
