    what did you do to your micra today ?

    SORN'd mine yesterday because I can't get it back to standard like ZENITH INSURANCE wanted due to their overly restrictive policies. They also use the name "Purely Motor" or "Purely Car". Avoid them if you're even THINKING of taking a bonnet badge off because they will nullify the policy. *Bastards*

    INSURANCE!!

    Today I asked my Broker to get a full and complete list of what Zenith insurance class as "Modifications". I don't expect to get one because ambiguity is better when you're trying to find a way to not pay out when expected to. What DOES class as a Modification: De-Badging/De-Trimming? Changing...

    Imported car tax band

    My experience says "AVOID ZENITH INSURANCE!". That is all.

    Imported car tax band

    Mind you, they'll probably stick their fist up your bottom on the Insurance for an Import. Which makes no sense given that nearly ALL Micra K11's were built in England!

    Imported car tax band

    I think they treat them on the year they were built. No idea what happens to "Q" plated cars, mind you.....

    what did you do to your micra today ?

    I decided I will never use Zenith Insurance ever again due to their ultra-restrictive policy conditions.

    My boss kit don't fit

    tbh a 67p resistor is less hassle than faffing about removing the clocks and putting tape on, and probably not that much more expensive. :)

    INSURANCE!!

    SO, changing the steering wheel on my car, and removing the rear seats, carpets, and inner door panels qualifies as a MODIFICATION to my insurance company! Result: They will cancel the policy! Another insurer says "Sure, we'll do it for only 200 quid more than you WERE paying (so that's a new...

    My boss kit don't fit

    No idea: I didn't need to because I put the resistor in immediately after changing the wheel so the light never came on. Check list: Have you put the resistor in the right holes (check the pic for help) Is it the right value Resistor (i.e. 2.6 Ohm and not 2K6 ohm?) Have you sacrificed a Cabbage...

    Have you reset the air bag light since installing the resistor?

    1.0 cams out and 1.3 cams in!

    Did you need to re-shim anything?

    If there's a rattle it's usually a heat shield :)

    Micra project

    All the wiring is already there. If you use Micra parts it's Plug & Play for nearly everything: Front fogs, rear shelf speakers, electric windows, A-Pillar tweeters etc. all have the wiring in place. It's just a question of finding the bits you want to fit :)

    WILL THESE FIT?

    The center bore will be too small, but if you're handy with a Dremel or something you can modify that. The tyres WILL need changing: I'm running 185-55/14's and that's JUST ABOUT the same as the standard 165-60/14 rolling radius on my K11C.

    Any musicians about here?

    Nah, that's just where it all got shoved in the corner ;) The Peavy is the Bass amp, the Line 6 is my Guitar practise amp. Of course, if I want to do Drone Metal (like SUNN o))), for instance) I can link the Line6 to the Bass amp, crack out the SG, and drop tune to A or below. That'd make the...
