    K11 power problem...

    Forgive my thickness when it comes to cars folks - like I said in my first ever post - pc's, shotguns & air rifles then I'm yer man but cars? Not got a Scooby, sorry. IF the fuel's ignited inside the cat, would this not have completely destroyed the honeycomb or would this destruction be a...

    K11 power problem...

    It's a W reg, should've said that early on I guess. My wife says the smell was defo not eggy but more like burned fuel. I wasn't present at any of these episodes so I'm not in a position to do the bloke thing and contradict her with superior olfactory diagnosis :D Assuming the cat needs...

    K11 power problem...

    On the move frank - and no, the lights never went out, the engine was still "on" but had no juice to give and re-started after my wife had switched the engine off. Maybe I should have worded the original post better, sorry for any confusion.

    I know nothing about cars...

    More into fettling my air rifle collection and keeping my shotgun in tip-top condition these days but that discussion's for another forum. I'm a mod on another couple of forums so I know how annoying and rude it can seem when a n00b comes in without a "Hi! I'm Jimmy McN00b." and goes...

    Lights off - show's over!

    Thanks for the prompt reply Arnold (and the semi go-ahead to try a bodge it :D) I assume it's as easy as pop the bonnet/open the boot; remove the old & replace with the new?

    Lights off - show's over!

    Hi all. As this is only my 2nd post and, as per confession in first post, I know next to nothing about cars, please be gentle with me :) OK: The other day my wife (The Driver) noticed that the driver side brake light was out. Fine - I'll change the bulb says I. This morning I get a...

    I know nothing about cars...

    ... my wife's the driver in the family :grinning: Hi all. As this seems to be the number 1 site for all things Micra I thought I'd better register & say hiya before I ask about a wee problem we have with our car (worry not: I'll post it in the appropriate section - I'm a n00b but not a net...
