I'm su
I'm sure demon tweeks do something very similar to an aerospace standard if you have one of there catalogues handy
cheers guys
I used the matiz bearing thing and put the Micra on straight on top of it so it fitted correctly into the Micra top mount, maybe a washer in between the two?

Yup, preferred option to squeezing in adjustable sprockets. Just a small ream and easily available old skool Ford dowels do just nicely
Hopefully it won't be a Fix Or Repair Daily motor though

Think id have the dizzy apart and give it a look over
Coils normally start to fail when they get warm eh, so doubt its that. Do you know which cylinder is missing when its warm? or is it just a general lumpiness?

Pretty sure i've got operation condor on tape from one of the Jackie Chan TV marathons...Project A also sounds like i've probably got it recorded somewhere, amongst others (The Protector and Drunken Master spring to mind).

So who's the lucky person just waiting to find out there's a note missing from their piano?
WDIDT - nothing, pouring with rain. Did plan a photo shoot in the field at the end of the road I grew up in, but, no chance.
I planned it because in the background would be the super yacht M5 which has the tallest single mast in the world (295 ft )
If she stays all next week, I'll try to do it again, if anybody wants ??? Just thought it would be interesting

Bah, photo bucket app is not the best <_<
Fixed now
Not that you can really see the wheels.
*facepalm*
3rd times a charm lol
That's better...
Edit: ...and before I forget, again, when I went for an interview back in March I saw an interesting k10
It was back again the other day.
It has the little spoiler too.

I know, I already did a mock up lolThey are nice wheels, would really suit a white k12

Bit of a double entendre perhaps ?
Did a quick wash and removed the smoked headlight vinyl.
Fitted new braided brake hoses yesterday.
Here she is, in the field above the harbour, the yacht is to the right of the piccie, might be a bit to small to see. Went down to the terrace below the field for a better picture
I used to live 50 yds from this field, played football here for years. And if I wasn't playing footie, I used to go swimming in the last piccie.

Just sounds like its running rich. Spark plugs will give you a good idea, as it's still the best way to know for sure whats going on.

Did a lot of service jobs to the MGZR (my road car) which i will be using this weekend at the Targa rally, i i dont want to risk the micra just before Wales Rally GB.
On the micra, i have fitted new front pads and bedded them in.
Fitted the Yoko A035's and scrubbed them in
Fitted and tested the lamp pod, good job i did as at first it didnt want to work, but traced it down to a dodgy earth connector.

I've just changed the oil and the air filter. God, the guy designing the placement of the bloody oil filter should deserve some new A-hole tearing. Even on my friends Alfa Romeo, which I find very stupidly built, the oil filter is at more convenient place.
BTW any advice on how to remove the fuel lines from the fuel filter? I removed those clamps but I couldn't even move with them. Even tried gripping them with pliers (through a cloth to prevent any damage to the fuel line) but still no luck.
Also there is one screw on the airfilter box that won't move - what's the best remedy for that? WD40? Brake fluid?
