    Simple way to wire in fog light switch

    Right, after buggering around for an hour trying to get the fog light to work I'm going to stick in a simple switch and run wires to the rear. What's the best way to take a feed off the loom? It's only for the mot. Who the hell needs these things anyway.

    Hatchback strut re-gassing?

    I've searched because I thought someone had posted about having this done but can't find anything. Anyone know anyone who can do this? There are some on ebay but I want to try and be environmentally friendly and keep the originals.

    Been told by the mechanic these need replacing which explains a slight judder when taking off in first on a hill (clutch and gearbox are fine.)

    Oil sump leak

    Just a small one but annoying me because I like things clean. Is it possible to remove the sump just using stands? If so, should I replace the sump or just clean it up and use a sealant of some sort?

    LS: leaking sunroof

    The girlfriend's LS has a webasto sunroof, Nissan UK fitted, not the wind type but one you can tilt at the rear and pop out altogether if you choose. The thing leaks from one corner and I have cleaned it to no avail. I can't for the life of me see any drain points. Am I missing something or is...

    Girlfriend's Micra is smelly

    Was driving behind her the other day and noticed that the exhaust smells damn rich. Not quite unburned petrol but not far off it. Never really noticed it before but wondering if there are some basic checks/adjustments I can do. Servicing is up to date, not messed with the carb or the fuel/air...

    Low coolant post cambelt/water pump change

    Had a mechanic change the cambelt, tensioner, water pump and rocker cover gasket (had a bit of an oil leak). Not pleased as got home and found the coolant way low, below the minimum marker. Engine also seems to sound more "tappety", used to be extremely quiet. Would you normally lose coolant...

    Small oil leak from the rocker cover on the LS (89), and want to replace the gasket (having the cam belt done so the time is right.) Seen a few on ebay saying 82-92, and some saying K10-K11. Is the rocker cover gasket the same on all K10s? Thanks.

    Springs and shock questions

    My 1.0 has been a trooper in this last load of snow, including an emergency run to the hospital. The old girl needs new shocks. Also wondering about springs. How do you tell when springs need replacing? The shocks are an MOT advisory, nothing said about the springs but while I'm doing shocks...

    Differences in performance between MA12s? Handling of 1.0s vs 1.2s

    I had a chance to drive a friends 1991 K10 GS, just like my 1992 with the 5 speed. She keeps her one well maintained and it ran fine but I am darn sure it did not have the nice haul in second gear that mine has. I'm sure I'm imagining it but were there any differences in the MA12 over time...
