I'd go for a custom stainless exhaust every time, I paid about £450 in total for the lot on my Primera (manifold through to the tail) and so imagine a Micra one will be close to £300.

Yeah mine came the other day - looks awesome. Except I didn't take enough time to put it on straight but hey :P The bulgarian cleaners at work LOVE it too, especially when I read it to them.

This is the worst thing of things like this - the anxiety it's obviously causing you. Try to stay cool, the world's still spinning. If need be we'll ALL go visit the lovely city of Milton Keynes ;)

Ah this whole situation saddens me :( It's one thing that people are unreliable (I'm guilty of that myself) but to steal money off club members... well I just hope this one works out nicely in the end.

You don't have to have upset someone - as far as I know I don't have any enemies. My peugeot lost several trim items and a mirror over 2 years of ownership, people would just rip them off and leave them by the car. My Primera was damaged 4 times at work that I know of - someone pulled the...

Doesn't help you but... You coulda been on the M5. Seriously though I'd go the death metal way and stick Nine Inch Nails all over my car then ENTICE them to kick it.

Not the manual that comes with the car, but the service manual can be downloaded from this thread http://www.micra.org.uk/threads/38856-K12-electronic-service-manual-here It tells you everything technical you should need to know about the K12. Anything else, just ask :)

Could still be related to what I said. Imagine your handbrake is on supertight, sometimes you have to pull the lever up before you can push the button to release the ratchet. Same idea.

PARK (more commonly known as "P") basically puts a bar across the transmission to stop it moving, kinda equivalent to leaving a manual transmission in reverse, just adds an extra layer of stoppedness to the handbrake. If the transmission is under stress when you put it into Park, then it will...

I got a custom Powerflow system on my Primera, 2 3/4" bore with a 4" tailpipe. It sounded fantastic. Powerflow is a franchise, mine was fitted by Top Gear in St. Albans. Seen some negative reviews, as there are for most successful things, but 2 years after fitting it, I had no problems...

My K10 (10 years ago) had a puny radio with one speaker hidden in the dash - nothing else. I used 13cm speakers in the doors, and 2 6x9s in the parcel shelf - I had to fix an MDF board under the shelf to support the weight, and then a blanket over the top to hide the speakers. Pioneer are a...

Lol I'd love to see you explaining to the police why there is a strong smell of vodka coming from you while you're driving :P

It all stinks of the French electrics in out beloved K12s.... The curse of my old Peugeot was the electronics. The radio problem sounds very much like an issue with a loose wire. I had a problem in my Primera where the radio would sometimes not come on, and was affected by turning the...

It's pretty cheap, I spend most of that on my oil :P Yeah the plugs are a pain to get to, you have to remove the inlet manifold to get to them. Still, not TOO hard to do. Guy's site has a nice how-to for it, with photos and all. I suspect the items you have were either clearance from a...

I bought my oil filter from Nissan directly and got the same one - when I questioned it, they informed me it's the same one, and will fit fine.... time will tell when I go to change it. At least access is easy... oh wait :P As for oil, 10w40 is fine. 5w30 is recommended in the manual, and...

I've always used Aylesbury Scrap Metal - fair prices, and they often have Micras in, as you can imagine from such a popular car. If they're not local to you, I'm sure there are other similar huge breakers about.

Our Brabus has had an intermittent brake fault where the pedal goes right to the floor with zero braking until the brakes are pumped. Pretty scary. It seems to happen more often after the car's sat a while. So the obvious (to me and my mechanic) thing to do is change the brake master...

Was just picturing in my head some custom piping made out of corrugated pipe, like you'd use for a cold air feed. But yeah... that would be messy :P

Could you use pipework like that for a cold air feed?

The most fun car I've owned (until the Micra) was my Pug 306 DT. Except the electrics.... which led it to the scapping of it about a week before the government announced the scappage scheme....
