This sucks! Hate write offs over nothing... only looks like it needs a new door.
New wing, new door, rear quarter, maybe new drive shafts etc the wheel took a bang. I'll see what they say they they take it away.
I'll probably have two options keep it and do what I want or write it off

Ok the pic just looked like the door sorry emz!
Bloody lorry but I'm not hurt and it could have been so much worse. If I'd has been going a bit quicker I'd have been in front of it.
But worse case I break her and many micras can live off her lol

WDID? Took her in for an mot half an hour ago. To pick her up at 2 oclock or there abouts. Bit nervous especially as I thought everything was perfect with car yet I heard a knocking from suspension as I drove down to the garage. Thought oh well im in for the ride now ill just wait till I get the list or a pass. On a side note after fitting the new track rod ends the steering is tracking straight as far as I can tell however the steering is now extremely light? As in not a lot of feel from it, it felt heavy before its so light its a bit disconcerting?

Car passed!! With no advisories. There was only one advisory about handbrake efficiency but it was verbal rather than on sheet.
Probably just my rear shoes are worn a fair bit
Get some new ones from windsors world of shoes !
Sounds like an actual shoe shop salzam lol like the kind you wear on your feet
Cvs are still clicking but worse now after packing with grease theyre clicking when turning slightly not just end to end. Oh well theyll need to just keep clicking away till I can be fecked changing em to the new ones I have. The strut nuts are rounded and I cba with that just now lol
It is
Lol
I was wondering...do you think 20yr old+ is too many years for a micra to live? (k10 and k11 ofc) mines 13 but I was wondering if I kept looking after it if it was possible for one to see 20+years, the chassis and shell im meaning, the engine being a bonus. And whats the highest mileage micra on here?
106k on a 54 plate,expect theres much higher than that. Rust will always be an issue with micras of all models,but regular undrrseal ect should help with that
hi I'm looking for my second nissan micra sold my first about 6 months ago and want another one any one selling one k11?
Got a week off work next week. Going to do all my undersealing plans then. Sills, control arms, belly, crossmember, rear axles and just everything thats rusty underneath. Is undersealing better than painting and lacquering? I got some body sealant the council used to use got it from an ex council worker actually. Canny mind what its called
To be honest for a 51 plate mine has barely any rust at all. Tiniest surface rust on cross member and tiny tad underneath. Its surprisingly new underneath although the old biddy I got it from hardly ever used it in 13yrs lol possibly why. Will still protect it anyway
Hmm wonder if mine would ever reach 375k lol thats a hell of a lot but probably average micra territory if looked after
It could reach that,but will never be the same car lol im unsure which is best tbh,ive never done any of it to my cars. When i had me front bumper off i was pleasantly surprised how little the front end rusted compared to the crash bar
Iv got micra on the brain tonight lol. Must be post mot joy lol. Another question I was wondering was how much do these things like to be revved? Or should I say tolerate being revved. I have the 1.0 S Coilpack with 14" wheels (sport? Lol) and I feel guilty anytime I really thrash it, I dont do it all the time just sometimes I like to rev it and work it.....is this going to stress it much? I know these engines are extremely strong and reliable but will revving it upto (never after) redline daily when warmed up etc be ok providing good oil?
Have you got an after market air box?
Other than that just check air/fuel system I guess

WDIDT ? a bit of progress on the electric s/c
the electronic speed control finally arrived, so tested the k10 alternator (converted to a brushless motor)
and gonna try a k11 alternator with permanent magnets (instead of the copper windings) on the rotor next

you,re supposed to be able to get 4 hp from an alternator neil http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=15057 at only 100 ish amps too so ideal for an electric s/c really, this one is cogging a bit due to the very experimental steep self-learning curve
if not i,ll try a cordless mower motor, i had to fix a 36v bosch rotak li mower last week, and that had a lot of power for a battery mower !

Need to service mine pretty soon. Found this service kit on eBay for a coilpack K11, would it be OK for a distributor model?

And there's also this one which is non genuine but a bit cheaper:
