    Somebody tried to steal my car!... why? (need info on good scrappies)

    Argh all the good stuff is up north. Can't believe nobody's scrapping nice little white K10s with baby sick brown interiors down here :(

    K10 (3rd) set of white doors in good condition.

    Long shot but worth an ask. I don't need anything but the doors, I have all the internals, door cards etc. Don't mind if exterior moldings are there or not and some cosmetic damage just nothing that needs a re-spray. I can collect. Thanks.

    Somebody tried to steal my car!... why? (need info on good scrappies)

    I don't think I was really thinking straight when I pulled the door off. Pretty stupid mood. Wasted a lot of time and as you said, needs to be on the car to line up properly. It's now got a red LED visible from the window but I didn't want it too obvious in case somebody thinks there's...

    K10 pre-facelift steering column mouldings (brown).

    Desperately need the top and bottom cover to replace a 1987 colette with brown interior. Thieves smashed it up but weren't courteous enough to leave the pieces for me to try and fix.

    Somebody tried to steal my car!... why? (need info on good scrappies)

    Right now i think that will be just the ticket! A whole day mucking about trying to fix it. Now I've gotta hunt high and low for brown column mouldings for a pre-facelift (not holding my breath) as well as get my door fixed. Stupidly I decided I needed to take the door off to bend it back. When...

    Somebody tried to steal my car!... why? (need info on good scrappies)

    I think I remember seeing some pics of that. When I get a new door I'll definitely be looking to do that. Gonna fit a loud alarm as well.

    Somebody tried to steal my car!... why? (need info on good scrappies)

    Pretty much says it above. Now need to spend my day looking for a white K10 3dr drivers door because that will be a lot cheaper than the £200 excess for my insurance company. Thankfully my DIY immobiliser means I've still got a car to drive in so does anybody know any white K10s in scrap yards...

    is feeling a wee bit sad :(

    Hi weestar. Sorry to hear about your car woes. It'll all work out in the end. Just have to push through with it and you'll have a nice little white micra running around again. Keep me updated on what you're doing with the spare one. If you strip it for parts I'd be interested in a few bits.

    What is this noise coming from my engine?

    And this winner is.... VACUUM CONTROLLER on the dizzy. Thanks Frank and Frazman101. You win the wheel of sound diagnosis fortune. Picked one off a J-reg at the scrappies today. Just put it on there. No more crazy ticking (Y)

    Suspension Overhall (where to find bump stops?)

    I'm getting all kinds of moaning and groaning from my suspension so I think it's time to replace the lot. It's a 1987 K10 and I'm pretty sure they are the original shocks and springs. It's only done 35k but 24 years will have done enough damage. Because I have to think twice about buying a...

    Cheapest bullet connectors?

    Ok, just so I'm clear, soldering the wires together and covering with heat shrink is the best option?

    Cheapest bullet connectors?

    I've been doing a bit of work fitting various electronics on my K10. Getting fed up of paying through he nose for bullet connectors from Halfords. Anybody know the best place online to get them in bulk and cheap? Crimp or solder type. Thanks.

    Car Security Tips needed

    Maybe get an immobiliser kit from eBay and fit the relay somewhere sneaky in the engine bay instead of the steering column? They're pretty cheap on eBay. What do they keep breaking into it to get?

    K10 and k11 bits

    How much for the arches and skirts? They look pretty tatty but could be brushed up I guess. Are those stock 13" steelies or VW I see?
