I mostly stand the head up vertically on the table to avoid scratching the mating face. if I do need to rest it face down (ie replacing stem seals), I clean the face with carb cleaner & rag to remove any debris grit and then rest it over a clean tshirt/cloth. when cleaning the old gasket off...

my cyl3 exhaust valves recently began to leak (prob from carbon on the seats) and misfired like a subaru. just overhauled & re-lapped all the valves (with video) and carefully reassembled http://micra.org.uk/threads/pollymobiles-rebuild.35251/page-75 I use a spring compressor tool but I agree...

the later bosch ecus from prob 97 onwards has a diagnostic mode via the paperclip trick https://micra.org.uk/cmf/message/54152 note: the facelift diag ports are upside down so take note of the orientation of the plugs notch/layout

Thats the secondary o2 sensor used by the ecu to detect if the cat is working

pic of bracket with the 3 fixture points

from engine bay 1. loosen the clutch cable thumbscrew 10mm locknut (under battery case) 2. loosen the clutch cable thumbscrew fully till you can unhook the clutch cable end bracket off the clutch fork arm 3. remove the two 12mm nuts holding the clutch pedal bracket to the bulkhead (beside the...

ur welcome ;)

Thx m8 ;) I appreciate ur compliment

The BC V1 coilovers are a direct fit but if you have ABS it doesn't have a support bracket so I just ziptied mine on. here's a blog link to what I received n installing http://www.micra.org.uk/threads/pollymobiles-rebuild.35251/page-12#post-422090 when I first corner balanced it...

they were an optional extra so are quite rare to find. bare in mind a used rear disc axle's prob been left for some time n prone to rust/seizing. the ferrous discs are most likey to rust away when unused so prob need skimming or prob cheaper to replace...

prob be ok, they're pretty robust mine is right next to the turbo elbow and without the plastic cover and has survived 13yrs of normal NA use and 2yrs of turbo use with afew trackdays and still going strong :)

hey m8 I started out bout the same way. I was a product designer but luv tinkering with mechanical/electrical stuff. Since I brought my first micra, just built my knowledge & experience of working on the car simply by researching, designing, building and testing. if I didn't have the required...

I just point my car down a long straight level back alley/road and adjust the dipped lights till the top of the beams just meet the horizon. with normal weight distribution btw: boot is empty, fully fuelled, all tyre pressures correct

if the MAF was very dirty, the insulated element could give a lower reading and run leaner n affect idle. once you've cleaned the MAF it'll give a higher realistic reading than beforehand, so more detected air = more fuel = richer. a sticking/seized IACV could also affect idle control. normally...

you can bypass with a pipe or block it off cos the TB coolant line runs parallel to the big metal coolant return pipe. I've sealed and crimped the metal pipes on mine for a neater look http://micra.org.uk/threads/pollymobiles-rebuild.35251/page-44#post-502488 yeah after bypassing/blocking you...

what bout removing the studs, getting the stock hub redrilled with a 4x114 pcd 45deg inbetween the normal stud holes, n fit the studs back on the wider pcd?

Its a very simple circuit. That light only comes on when the sensor completes the circuit n send 12v to the lamp. I'd test the moisture sensors while they're out the tank by comparing its resistance reading between a dry sensor and when its submerged in tiny pot of fuel. If the readings don't...
