I thought the front bumper looked rubbish so I undid the one bolt holding it on and took it to my shed. Chopped out the lower grille, sanded flat with wet n dry. The only paint I had was half a tin of 'poundland special' black gloss. Ran out after 2 coats so if you look really closely along the...

Lol, I don't have a choice, it's too far gone to get it back to show condition. Found a job to do when I get my new welder. The front suspension mounting is rusted away and has been filled with newspaper and glue. Also the wishbones could use some 3mm plates welding to them to make them...

Taken from wiki: You can really see this when you jack it up and the doors won't open.

Both rear wheels are that far forward lol. As for the bumper, it was the first time I'd driven it. As I parked I discovered the brakes aren't any good and stuffed it into the wall, cracking the bumper a bit more. That's the best thing about having a french car, I didn't even get upset.

Lol, it was a bargain price, just til I can afford sommat decent, maybe another micra as my last 2 gave me no trouble.

Citroen AX 10 Good points: MOT til december. Bad points: After having a good look at it it's been in at least one accident and been repaired very badly. Oil is white and exhaust is smokey. Everything else. Mods so far include tacho/oil pressure/volt/water temp gauge as the car doesn't...

It's the sweetest exhaust I've ever had, it wasn't that loud either cos the cats were still in. Passed an MOT with it, MOT man didn't even comment. I think I had a pic in my blog but can't find my blog lol. Before that i had a 3 inch Savage exhaust and it sounded rough, like a tractor.

Conductive paint? I think you'll find lead will last a lot longer that paint. I but a bit of solder on mine and it lasted ages (might still be going)

It's easy enough to change, I don't have my Haynes anymore but I'm sure someone will be along shortly to talk you through it. If not just keep undoing bolts til it falls out. Take the wipers off, then look around the motor for bolts.

I've only ever owned coke cans, I did drive a mondeo a few times and the puma but I felt disconnected from the road. I prefer cars with no power steering and where you can feel the road though your seat.

Mine was the relay, it would also stop wherever you turned the wipers off. I never fixed it so can't tell you exactly how.

If you want a car that won't rot get a citroen AX, galvanised panels, some plastic ones too. Cheaper than a micra to insure, great on fuel. There's hundreds about for next to nothing, I just bought one for £250. Then save up for a better car.

At least you didn't notice the reliant robin website :p I live in a tiny village so didn't expect to be on there til my bruv called me and told me.

By about a year, found a pic of my old micra:

I can't find a pic but I just replaced my backbox with a length of 38mm pipe, it sounded great, not too deep, and cost practically nothing. Looked standard too.

We aren't saying people shouldn't enjoy a drink with their meal, just don't drive afterwards. Drink away and have a designated driver/taxi

Just fix it, it's not worth the cost of a new one.

Those ones are the best standard alloys IMO. I found my alloys were heavier than my steelies but I think it's cos I had such wide tyres on them.

Got to halfords and buy a roll of 17 amp cable and some spade connectors, may as well do it properly.

Fit a relay then it doesn't need to be able to take much current
