    Penetrating fluid

    I decided to repair the return spring on the gear lever so had to remove the heat shield. I had had a look at the bolts a few days ago and they didnt look to clever. I did a search for "best penetrating fluid" and what came up was a bit of a surprise. A lot of people recommend 50 - 50 acetone/...

    How to reset the Airbag light

    I did post these instructions at the end of a thread about removing an SRS steering wheel but though I would create a separate thread. Once I had removed the steering wheel and reassembled, I think because I drove the car with the airbag disconnected the airbag warning light would not go off...

    Kop Hill climb image heavy

    I think the website describes it better than I could: Kop Hill, Princes Risborough is one of the oldest Hill Climb venues in England, it was one of several hill climbs in the Chilterns and the first recorded races were in 1910. It became a major event on the motor sports car and motorcycle...

    Break squeal

    Since getting my 160sr the front breaks have had a nasty squeal on the intial part of travel ( unless I break hard). I was hoping it was jusy a glazing issue and a few heavy breakinigs would clear the issue but no. So is it a case of new pads or discs as well? And I wonder if there is a...

    A general observation

    I'm now quite aged I'm sure in this forum at 45 years old. I had my little K11 Micra and I was pretty anonymous in that, occasionally morons would pull out in front of you or try and get around you in rather dangerous ways - nothing new there. I now have a K12 160SR which I really enjoy...

    SR spare wheel

    I have one of those awful wheelbarrow spare wheels. I have just got a spare alloy the same as the rest on my 160sr (16 inch with a 185 tyre). It will fit in the tyre well but wont go flush with the floor of the car. How is it done on the Sport SR, do they have a different boot liner?

    And here it is!

    After a wash, claybar, paint treatment, polish and a wax this is what she looks like. I love it, the handling and the performance - nothing outrageous but for the money it is a bargain: First proper run in it tomorrow - off to Brighton.

    Would like to get the parrot MKI9000 in my K12, it has the double din 6 cd changer, is this a "reasonably" straight forward job or is this best left to "them that know".
