Sod that for a lark - best of luck (!)
Update Max....the fella never turned up to buy the car, so I've taxed her again.
I'll carry on with a few mods now.
Now I've got two micras again LOL.
I'll shift the 1.3 auto instead, but I like driving that girl as well - decisions, decisions.
Sorry this was the format for sigs everyone used on the previous forum I was on. Adjusted just for you
'94 k11 dot 1.0, McGill Motorsport steering wheel, Mountney steering wheel boss kit, Side exit peashooter exhaust, Lowered on Kilen springs, Renault 5 GT turbo turbine wheels 13", Nankang NS2R semi slicks on the front, Whiteline front arb (not fitted), Idle control systems removed, Intake trumpet on throttle body, Micra SR clocks (green), GT15 turbo to be fitted (waiting on rrfpr)
You babe <3
I've been on here a year today And it seems my car has decided to welcome the occasion, just over 4 months ago I done front discs, pads and a N/S caliper, Yesterday I decided to check them for the first time in two months, Much to my dismay the passenger side pads are nearly metal to metal, Somethings not right here, because the other side still has over 3 quarters left on the pads, We've been throwing ideas around at work and come to the conclusion it is either a faulty caliper, or a buggered Flexi pipe, any ideas?

Thanks for the replies, I done a little brake testing in my works estate, under heavy braking it veers heavily to the left and upon taking the caliper off today to test it it slides in and out with ease, all sliders and pads free ect, There's about 2mm left on the passenger side, drivers side had less then 2mm wear when placed against the new ones (same make) I probably should have mentioned that the master cylinder is on it's last legs, it was a pain in the ass bleeding it out when I done the caliper.
Gave mine a thorough clean on the outside, peeled all the weather strips cleaned it all, waxed and put all plastic/rubber bits back.
Also gave a good clean in the engine bay after finally managing to undo a rusted screw on the throttle cable (needed adjusting as the throttle had no response for 2-3 inches of pedal travel - very loose). Had to file down the sides on the adjustment part so I could clamp my vise grips securely without them slipping on the round surface, the top threads are now unusable, but I will never use them anyway.
Adjusted the clutch pedal height and cable.
Now have amazing clutch and throttle response with a very shinny car
Tomorrow will clean up the interior and then next weekend will do a full service - oil, filters, sparks, PAS flush, belts, etc.

Nice to have the forums back! Seems to be much quicker too
Sold mine. Update on new purchase to follow.....
Well little old red went for scrap value but there you go. Couldn't keep 3 cars here so she's gone. Now we have a 2001 coil pack Vibe 1.0l. Needs nothing at the moment and 11months MOT although there was no RH dip beam when I picked it up?! What can be done to replace the black bumper infiltrate bits? These are terribly grey?

You could cover them with chrome covers like @Andy5077
He's the shiny, shiny king of Guernsey, in fact he's covered everything in chrome.
Peanut butter (Not the crunchy kind) or a heat gun, heat guns cleaner
I wrapped mine in carbon.

We don't peanut butter but the Mrs has a heatgun for crafting. Do I need to take them black bits off the bumber first?

You can take them off, but you risk damaging them.
If you're going to go through the effort of taking them off, you may as well paint them
I took off the front wings and slapped underseal all over the inner wings and the inside of the wings as well, also fitted an external tacho (2002 coil pack) but the tacho seems ok ish but the engine sound does not seem to mirror what the tach needle is doing.
It ticks over fine but when you rev the engine it just seems slow?

Got the Mrs's crafting heat gun out. Works well on small areas but the large areas under the front/rear bumpers are more difficult to get a decent finish
