Right, well I've broken down 6 times on my 4.5 hour journey back from college, ending up on a tow rope 2 miles from the college. LOL! Fun times. And thanks go to Halfords for not helping me, when I was parked right outside their doors! All I know at the moment is that it will jumpstart...

James, you are a genius :) It run's now, well it does at the moment anyway! Thanks everyone for the help and advice too :)

OK I've done that. It started for maybe 5 seconds with that fuse out but died again, so hopefully it's that it ran out of petrol, not some other problem. Now it seems the battery is too flat to do much at all, so it's on charge. Fingers crossed it might work!

Sorry James I completely missed your earlier post! I will give that a crack now!

Yes it is the fuse for the headlamp, so I'm not sure if it's the problem or not. I took the "INJ" fuse out, and nothing started at all, so I dont think the fuse box is the cause of my non-starting problem as that fuse definitely affects something. I haven't had a chance to try "feeding" it...

oops, wrong pic for the second one!

lol! Here's a pic of the fuse box: And here's a pic of the inside: The melted one is where the left-hand headlight fuse was. The injector one seems unaffected, as does the right headlight (which works) but I am hoping to get a new fusebox later today. Tom

OK thanks I'l have a look, but I haven't primed it yet... One thought... if it's the fuse box near the battery and behind the left headlight - the fuse for my left headlight has completely disintegrated and melted I noticed yesterday, and that light stopped working right before the car failed...

Where do I find the injector fuse holder? I really need to find my Haynes but it's being evasive! @k11micra - We tried jumping it yesterday but it didnt work :(

Will have a go checking that tomorrow, thanks Frank :) Tom

Yes. Before I changed them the spark was orangy in colour, but the new ones are much bluer which I'm told is better... But no change as to starting the engine

Cheers Andy. I've bought and fitted new plugs, rotor arm, diz cap, and HT leads but there is no difference. It still won't start. Is there anything I should look for now? Cheers, Tom

OK cheers Frank I have just done that. The gap on at the bottom of the spark plugs is about 1mm too - isn't that a bit big? I can't find my Haynes at the moment as we're decorating, so can anyone confirm what it's meant to be? Cheers, Tom

Hi all, As the title says, my '95 K11 won't start. It tries, but can never actually get the engine started - it nearly starts, but then cuts out before it can. My dad's first thoughts are plugs or HT leads, but does anyone else have any ideas? The cheaper the better!! :doh: Cheers in...

Thanks Mike. They're not in warranty any more I don't think, I've probably had them over a year now. It's got to sound better without a tweeter than with an intermittent, fuzzy one, so I reckon I'll just disconnect it until I can replace it. Eventually I want to get the component versions for...

Hi all, long time no see! I have a pair of Diamond D3 co-axial speakers in the Micra, and one of the tweeters is playing up. It sounds like there's a loose connection somewhere but I can't find a way in to find out what's wrong - there's just a couple of wires going up to it from the base of...

Ok, thanks. The thicker stuff round the outside is definitely the ground for the radio, but the inside one doesn't go anywhere at all, it's just cut off - my interior light still works, so I'm not sure about that one. Could it be the signal from the aerial to the radio? It's in a white casing...

Hi, Does anyone have, or could anyone take a photo of their ariel wiring above the driver's door please? Mine has obviously been tampered with at some point, and I'm not sure how it's meant to go. There appears to be a cable with two sets of wires running through, but it's been messed around...

Pics! Pics! Does this actually work by the way? I'd love to do it! lol

That would look immense with black roof and bonnet! Do it! Badboy would just be even better! :)
