D'oh! Franks right! Didnt register it was a 1300! Take the plug out and top the oil up until it spills out.

Very eyecatching! Ideal mobile advert! :laugh:

I'd agree with k12fixer. We have had to send the dial unit out to have it fixed on a few K12s. Main beam warning not working is a fail. Indicator warning not working is not a failure.

Its been a busy week and it looked like nothing was gonna get done on the GX. Until today! We replaced the big holes in the sills with some nice solid metal! :laugh: The worst side was the drivers side, needing a 2 foot long outer section and inner section right back to the trailing arm...

Stuttering and hesitation was becoming a pain. When you try quick getaways or chuck it round a corner it would die. Unfortunatly to get out my street there is a junction that involves a sharp right hand turn up a hill, to turn into our workshop involves turning right at a tight mini roundabout...

There is a sticker next to the speedo drive on the gearbox showing how to tell the level, you use the line on the speedo drive teeth. Can be a bit of a pain to get into then get out in one piece!

Karl, those 3 spokes pictured are the only 3 spokes I'd have on an my cars. However, this car doesnt have those 3 spokes. I thought of offering them free to anyone who would pay for the courier but the more I look at them the more I want to watch them go into the big machine at the metal...

I'm not keen on bodykits either but this one isnt too bad. Its been fitted well and doesnt have any big snow ploughs or whaletails. I think it will look ok with nice wheels but I would never fit one to a car that didnt already have one! (I'm the guy who fitted standard 'ready salted' bumpers to...

I spelled turquoise wrong in the title! D'oh! Lately we have been posting pics of our cars in the K11 blogs section but we intend having a bit of fun with this one. So without further ado, here is the turquoise terror! Straight from the Nineties complete with bodykit and 3 spoke alloys...

Discs axle could be fitted to drum braked one easliy. Swapping ABS over would be tricky but no reason it couldnt be done. You would need the ABS pump/control unit, CV joints and rear hubs with ABS rings, sensors for each wheel and the loom to connect it all up. Lots of bu**ering about!

I had an X plate 'Mistique' (The changy colour one) with drums and ABS. Its the oly one I've seen.

No, only got the drum type without ABS. 7 of them at present. Disc & ABS ones are highly prized and pretty rare.:laugh:

Have loads I could have delivered by courier! £80 delivered UK mainland! (Y)

I'd try the Micra one anyway, should still fit. Whats the deal with connecting the starter straight to the battery? Have you had starting problems before?

I'd go for a worn starter switch. If you take the steering column cowling out, locate the switch on the back of the lock. Its held in by a small phillips screw. Take it out, you will find the centre part, usually grey or white plastic is worn. When you turn the key the lock isnt turning it far...

Best to take it off. There is a link (which I cant find) to a guide for resoldering the MAF connections on the printed circuit board. To actually clean it, use an old toothbrush and brake fluid. Its strong enough to shift the dirt but wont damage the seals. When you are done give it a rinse out...

Mullet! Is the bootlid ok? Whats the paint code?

Its not a GX because its got a lock on the fuel cap. Seats and dials look like the ones that were in the 'S' and 'SR' models, about 1998ish? Just pre facelift. I just dont see the problem as long as the works been done well and its impossible to say whether it has from the large print...

I can see the point everyone is making but consider this... 1. If you are going to do major surgery to a car (Bigger engine etc.) you are not going to find the best one available. You are more than likely to use an accident damaged one. Which may explain the later front end, maybe even the...

Best to buy one from me. That way you know it will work, paypal accepted! LOL! When you are fitting the new one, put a blob of grease on the ball. Then hook some single core cable, a cable tie or a bit of string round the linkage and use it to pop the linkage onto the ball. Faster than taking...
