How do you get an Easi-bleed to fit a Micra? We have one, with all the adaptors. None of them fit so we bought a 'universal' adaptor directly from Gunson. That didnt work either! :(

I had this before. Was the motor on its way out. The contacts inside the motor that let it know when to park usually burn out 1st.

Noddie! On car adjustable ones still available for us cheap gits?

Why did the fusebox melt?! I'd be more worried about that! :laugh: I'd sort that first as there could be other circuits running thru it that affect the fan. If you leave the car running, heater blower off and heater in the hot position does the car start to overheat? Is the coolant level ok...

Alloy wheels might put your insurance up. Depends on your insurance company but if you are a young driver they will rob you for everything they can. I'd leave the standard wheels on until next year. Its tempting to stick them on now but do you really want to learn to drive with them? (You only...

Better with 195/45 tyres. Less chance of catching the arches. We had a Micra recently with a similar 'P UBB' reg number! :laugh:

The member known as 'Mullet' bought my black Super S front bumper a while back. As far as I know he never had it painted.

We have loads to do to our 5 door GX, we bought our met blue 'Inspiration' on Friday. We have a pretty full diary next week not counting these cars, so whats the worst thing we could do? Buy another Micra! :laugh: We were tipped off about another turquoise GX. As we need a drivers door for...

Could be but jammed/burnt out motor/bad connection is more likely and easier to try.

Painted black or black plastic (unpainted)?

Hi Al. Check ALL the fuses in the dash fuse box and under the bonnet. If they are ok, turn the ignition and wipers on. From under the bonnet can you hear the motor working? If yes, could be a broken linkage. If you cant hear anything, is the wiper motor warm? Could be jammed, try helping the...

Need both? Will PM with a price in the morning!

:laugh: Glad to hear it John!

Better if you can get a shot of a nibbler. Less distortion. There isnt a perfect way of doing it but using a nibbler means less 'tidying' the edge! SR20, you cut the back off a van with tinsnips?! You must have forearms like barrels now! LOL!

Get some sort of backing, sound deadening or at least double sided foam tape or they will rattle. We have done a few cars out like this inside, being cheap gits we crease larger panels diagonally to give a sort of cross shape, that stiffens them then we glue slit washer tube round the edge...

Its been a busy week with Non micra work but heres what we managed to get done to the turquoise terror! Finished the back brakes.. New shoes, cables, pipes and cylinders needed. I've done this pic as big as I could for everyone who has stripped the shoes off and cant remember how...

Check all the fuses incase they go thru another circuit. Also check your reverse light is working, sometimes the switch goes so the sensors dont know you are reversing

They are not the same! Up to 2000 they are but early K11 ones do not fit later ones. (BTW, we have full sets of both types, in most colours in stock! Cheap as chips, LOL)

It states on the back of the failure sheet you dont need tax to take the car for its MOT (providing its prebooked) or to take it directly home/place of repair.

We have trade plates and comprehensive trade insurance. You are very unlikely to need a cat or backbox. The K11 has 2 cats. If one failed the other should still be enough to get thru the emissions. If the back box was holed it would cause your car to fail the emissions test but its strange the...
