I think so mate
From what I've read here, yes it's a straight swap
.Re the mk2 thing I've seen facelift often referred to as mk2 and also on eBay too. This may be incorrect - perhaps someone could confirm. New to the whole micra scene but having fun so far

Regardless to preface and facelift... Swaps are only simple when ignition methods are the same. Coil pack vs dizzy type engines. You cannot just shove a coilpack engine on the loom of a dizzy car. Wiring will need to be altered. Facelifts can have dizzy and coilpack fyi
^^ Blimey. I'm only changing the rear wiper motor!!

He came out and we both had a bit of a mooch over her, and under...nothing? Opened the bonnet; ha, ha there it was....nut had come of the top mount, the hole had gone oval as well, so been loose a while.
Left her there and got my van, had a nice walk in the sunshine.....dopey warm innit ?????

Agree with that Frank, felt like the front wheel was going to drop off.
I decided I will never use Zenith Insurance ever again due to their ultra-restrictive policy conditions.
Picked this little number up.

Interesting paperweight. Plenty of people picking these up.
We'll see if anything develops
It's was too good to pass up, so we'll see how it goes. No time at the mo with work. I'll just source the parts for now. Got to start somewhere though.Interesting paperweight. Plenty of people picking these up.

A few updates to the blog - www.mattendean.co.uk
Plus here is a video which won't get featured elsewhere - titled 'not my smoothest run'
The first spin was harmless enough, caused by far more mud on the road compared to the previous run, the second one had potential to be a lot worse and I was lucky to not end up in the ditch. Note to self - avoid getting carried away with cutting as you don't know what you will find!

Those log piles don't look very forgiving! Looks good fun though, when is the rally itself Matt?
Yes it's a TD04L like Frank said. I would have loved to buy one ready done but there aren't that many coilpack turbo cars out there. I know nothing about turboing so I've got someway to go yet.
Changed the motor for the rear wiper today from this
to this:
Which I reckon is much better look!

Mines had it like that since I got it, was owned by a granny, doubt she would have changed it! Unless she destroyed it at some point.
