Hey all, I had a go at the belt change today and got stuck trying to get the crankshaft pulley bolt off. Absolutely jammed solid on (22yrs old) tried lots of techniques, jamming a spanner through the spokes, standing on the brakes, hammer on the wrench, sharp pulling etc and the ####### won't...

Hi all, My cam belt needs changing. In fact, it has needed changing for a good while. Its 22yrs old, done 75K and there's nothing on the engine to say it's had a new belt. Ever... I have new belt and water pump (where should I get a cheap tensioner from and how much?) and was planning on...

Thats right, I remember seeing 404 written. Instead I got the copper standard ones, think they were 707. You mean air filter? I wouldn't worry.

OK good point. The spark plugs were difficult to get in by hand but i think this was due to the age of the car and the gunk that had built up on the threads over the years more than anything. I will re-fit them though when I can. As for the leads. I will double check but basically, I took...

oil plug is fine. Dont have any way of taking plugs out where I am now! The plugs were quite tough to get in by hand anyway. What would cross-threading actually do to the car?

Hi again, I recently renewed a few things in my Colette, I changed the air, oil and fuel filters, HT leads, spark plugs NGK BPR5ES, same as what was in there before) and the oil itself. However, since doing this starting the car has needed a bit more encouragement on the gas pedal and...

When i go round a particularly sharp right-hand bend, my handbrake light comes one. Why is this? Do I need to do something to fix it?

I am in the UK at the mo. What is the part number for the V-groove NGK's that everyone uses in their K10s? I think I'll leave these hot plugs for the moment as I don't want to damage my 22year old car! H

does anyone have any advice at all?

Hi there, I did the Rally in 06 and made it in a 1991 £50 K10 off ebay. It was amazing and we went through turkey, georgia, azerbaijan, iran and all the stans before Russia and Mongolia. The car was simply incredible. It was completely standard, no mechanical modifications whatsoever. All...

I have the 1.0L colette and have got some new spark plugs from a friend, the NGK BP6ES type. Will these work ok in the car or will they be too hot? Is that a problem in a motor like this? Would you say not to bother and go with the standard ones that NGK recommend? H

It has mysteriously ended with no bids.

I think the mileage could be geniune. Definitely a little old lady's popping-to-the-shops-mobile. Yeah, none of my numbers have ever lined up properly and I'm pretty certain that my three micras weren't clocked. If you see the photos that depict the pedals, there is not a sniff of wear on...

Think they were aussies. That made me want to cry...

what do they look like and where are they? and are they also known as 'baffle plates'???

Yes its the front right side. I think you are right in that it is coming from the brake protectors. What do these look like and should I just whip them off or can I bend them back? H

Hi there, My little colette makes a kind of metallic 'skim-skim-skim' noise when cornering right which somes from the right wheel. Any ideas? I think I had this with a previous micra and the mechanic said its something rubbing against the axle which he quickly whipped off. I cant remember...

mate how was it? I did it last year. Did you make it? What route did you do? Iran? Kyrgyzstan? Ahhhhh so good...!

Any ideas on capacity? How often should this be done anyway? H
