Excited by my new March Cab, but a steep learning curve and advice needed.

[QUOTE="Rupe, post: 749286, member: 27700"] Hi fellow Cabriolet owners, it is just dawning on me how rare my recent purchase is and I have so many things to think about. It arrived here in 2011, and has been underused as a runabout here in Devon until I rescued it. Will share photos of as soon as I have got various commissioning necessities out of the way. It is MOTd but I want to address various maintenance issues knowing that parts don't grow on trees. I won't describe it yet, as that will spoil the impact of the photos later. :) It has some of the expected corrosion, which I want to treat pronto. Hood has already been replaced and I have cleaned and reproofed it. Car is basically sound, and considering it hasn't been driven much in recent years is pretty quiet and smooth. Current areas I need advice on:- I have read all the threads regarding insurance, and was intending to insure and tax tomorrow as I have waited long enough to enjoy it. Just realised my excellent no claims on my very different A4 Avant tdi cannot also apply to the Micra. Do you know if any of the recommended insurers will mirror or match on a 2nd car? Have inspected brakes, and they are all down to about 3mm so I want to get them done. ABS, vented discs on front, drums on rear - are they the same as standard Micra, or will it be trickier to match them? ECP has 2 different pads for first and 2nd half of 1997. Want to replace shoes and cylinders at rear, are either of those unique due to ABS? Passenger side window has power (very quiet hum when either door switch is pressed), but stuck in the up position. Again, is it a standard regulator with motor attached, or is it possible to unseize it after taking door card off? Any loads off my mind would be very welcome at this crucial (for my sanity) time o_O [/QUOTE]
