What obd bluetooth module do you have, Guy?

 

[Guy]

Paul, just the basic ELM327 Bluetooth dongle. Seem to be about £7 on Amazon at the moment. Works perfectly with the Torque app on my Android phone.

 

[PaulN534]

Could you share a link please?

 

[Guy]

Go on then you lazy so and so - HERE.

 

[PaulN534]

When you have just bought yourself a nice set of alloys, you might have the problem the centre caps won't fit.
The grease cups of the micra are too wide at the top so the "clips" of the centre caps cannot bend inside and click on the alloy.

You can a. Take off the grease cups and have serious problems real quick (wheel bearings anyone?)

Or b. You can have a look at this guide and make yourself some grease cups that will change your life!
(and best of all, they are cheap if not for free! )

It's okay @Guy, @SirChris couldn't torque his way out of a paper bag Lol

Love you Chris

 

[SirChris]

LOOOOL I Dyno about that @Jen319

 

[PaulN534]

Hmm.. Where is the obd port? I want to check if mine has the port before I purchase the scanner .

 

[Guy]

On the K12 it's under the steering wheel on the right hand side.

 

[PaulN534]

Thanks! I had a look at the Torque app and it looks very interesting! Definitely the must have! I have an intermittent fault. If I floor it above 80mph the red engine light comes on until I release the accelerator. Could this find the fault?

 

[Guy]

If there are any stored codes it will list them. Then it's a bit of Googling .

 

[PaulN534]

Thanks a lot!
