Hi, Just a quick question to those with Haynes's out there, what size and spec spark plug goes in the 1.0 K11 engine, I'm heading over to the shop tomorrow. Also what size increase does the engine take? On my old Golf, you used to be able to get away with putting one size up in the engine...

Ok, so late last month, I swapped my Citroen Saxo 1.4 in for something more economical and robust, and in the Autotrader, found a nice looking Polo for sale in Formby. Drove up, and it had been sold, but the guy showed me a couple of Micras he had in. After testing it, I fell in love with...

I've tried the bay and amazon, but both are quite expensive, on the old pug 309 I used to own, I got a haynes for 1p plus postage! Are there any online resources that have the same info as contained in the Haynes manuals such as torque settings and whatnot?

Hi, On the Micra I've got, everything is stock, but battered. I'm wanting to "do it up", make it nippier, lighter, and nicer looking etc, and above all, be able to top 100mph, it struggles past 80 at the moment, steering wheel shakes and the engine drones. 80 isn't bad for a 1 litre, but you...

Hi, As title suggests, I need somewelding work done on my exhaust, and I don't have the equipment to do it, if anyone wants to earn some money for just a couple of minutes work, please get in touch, I'm absolutely desperate! Thanks

In an old Mazda I used to drive, there were speakers built in to the dash... got me thinking, is this an opition in the Micra, if I were to buy two smaller speakers and maybe cut some holes in the passenger side dash to mount them in, would give a true surround sound feel. Sound liken a...

Hi, as the title suggests. I'm looking for a carpet for my boot, and for a replacement door for the drivers side, rear (it's a 5 door K11), mine is in red, other door will be too, preferably, with glass still fitted. Any offers of anyone breaking theirs. I also need a replacement...

Hi, just wondering where everyone buys their tyres from, I've been looking around for new ones for a set of 13" alloys I've just gotten hold of from JoelH, 175 width and 13" diameter, profile I'm not too fussed on, anything from 45 to 60, cheapest in the fast fit sector is like £60 new. This...

Hi, Due to the bodge job of the previous owner of my Micra, the wire to connect the speakers in the rear parcel shelf to the stereo carries power and a ground wire, but no sound signal, however, there is an auxillary speaker cable trailing from the speaker to the back of the car, where I'm...

I'm soon to be doing an oil change on my micra, and on a recent check of the dipstick, the oil is fairly black, so I imagine the inside of my engine looks the same, so I guess a quick flush may help it. I've heard putting transmission fluid in with the oil can rinse clean an engine after 3k...

Hi On the Micra I've acquired, the drivers side footwell has a small hole in the carpet, and it has come away from the door seals due to the previous owners bodge job of installing speaker cables and subsequently ripping it out. I tried glueing the carpet down, but it came away within a...

Whats the biggest size wheels that will fit on a micra without any cutting away at the arches, when the car is unlowered? For example, a set of 16's riding on 195/45's, will these be too big?

Hi, I've just gotten my first Micra, as was loving it until the other day when my drivers side windscreen wiper stopped working, whilst the passenger side one was fine. I popped the bonnet, and tightened the but on the dodgy one, but to no avail. A quick google search suggests this...
