I stupidly tried removing a small dent in the rear bumper today... In doing so, I managed to shear two of the bolts that hold in on (in the metal strip that runs behind the plastic trim). Now I could drill these out and replace with some stainless bolts... but I'm hoping someone is breaking a...

None under mine (on the ground that is)- but I did notice that the crank breather was really gunked up... Will be calling Nissan tomorrow to buy a new one, I have a feeling that the clogged one is forcing some oil to leak. Shouldn't be more than a pound or two for the sponge. Also, the company...

Thanks - thought so. I reckon next steps for me is to take the stock one out, and figure out what connectors/pipes it needs... then finding something that will fit in the bay and have the right connectors... The cheapest may be an alloy washer tank (e.g...

Interesting, but given that we'll be in the desert for ~2 weeks, I think I want an overflow (it does feed back into the expansion tank when it cools down, doesn't it?) What about something like this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9ATBCZG0099101 (yes it's an american site, but...

Went to have a play today... If I route it out the driver side, it would be quite easy (just move a few pipes, look like washer fluid pipes?). That said, passing out the passenger side would be a cleaner run, with less twists and turns... but I would need to move the coolant overflow tank...

I got around to to removing the air intake for the K11 with the intention of fitting a snorkel. That said, I'm struggling to find ap lace to pass though the bodywork. The best place would seem to be behind the coolant expansion tank, but not too sure where to put that if I remove/move it! Any...

A query for the Admin staff... As I prepare for the Mongol Rally, this site and it's members have been incredibly helpful. I was hoping to get permission to use your logo on a link-back to your site on my rally site (ndanka.com) as a thank you for being such a great place. It woudl go under...

Bringing this thread back - how do I go by raising the rear? The rear axle is quite low to the ground... The front I'm putting some monroe shocks with diesel springs, so nice and easy... the rear I'm a bit at a loss with. If only I could turn the axle upside-down... M.

I'm not raising it that much - just diesel springs on the front... and something else on the rear, but not sure what yet :)

Regardless of what car I take, I will want to change the suspension and clutch... so may as well start with this one :) M.

Forgot to say, I'm planning on changing the clutch before leaving... I can't figure out how much of the gearbox needs to come off... is it worth getting this looked at at the same time as the clutch? What should I be spending to get a clutch changed (and what other bits are worth changing at...

Some queries... I seem to have a leak between the gearbox and the sump (looking at it from underneath). Doesn't seem too bad, but there's a definite leak. It's black and quite caked on, so not sure if it's gearbox or engine oil. 1. What's the consensus, is it likely to be gear oil or engine...

What would P&P cost for the rod to Uxbridge/London? (Scotland is a wee far to collect!)

Now I realize Haynes suggests 15W40, and most here use 10W40 from searching... but I have quite a good history with mobil1 (0W40) - too thin at startup? Am I better picking up some hellfrauds 10W40 fully-synth? MN

Nothing on their site sadly: http://www.thepipercrossshop.co.uk/info-parts_list?context=car&make=Nissan&model=Micra+%28K11%29&car_id=2004&car_spec=1.0+16v+%281992-2003%29&search=Part+Number I guess I'll just fit a bosch filter and bring a sharp screwdriver :p

Considering I'm hoping to raise the car with diesel springs on the front; I really don't want shortened rods :p Haven't figured out how to raise the rear a little bit yet...

Sadly KN don't do any micra oil filters, K10-K13... :(

Thanks - didn't realise! Checking now...

Looks like a 1999 1.3 to me...

It's not rattly... I was more worried about it becoming an issue during the trip. I guess I'll just cross my fingers and hope for the best !
