    what are these?

    I've got a set here ready to go on. Also had them on my '99 Inspiration that I had new from the dealership. They look quite cool once on and also protect the inside lip of the wheelarch too.

    Tyre Cleaner ideas?

    Megs stuff is good. Their endurance tyre gel is even better though than their other tyre dressing stuff. However, this stuff is even better and it's the same stuff that pro's and dealerships use. http://www.cloverchemicals.com/uk/products/vehpol_autogloss_uk.htm It comes up on ebay now...

    1.4SE+ fuel consumption

    I had a 2001 1.4se. Kept it literally for 3 months before selling it. It drank fuel no ones business. A full tank would only get me about 260miles. And that was the same as my '02 1.0 Twister that I had from new. Strange that both my '99 1.0 and my current '98 1.3 GX can return 380+ O.o

    broken window, few other wee bits

    To save any hassles, take it to your local Autoglass and ask them to stick the clips back onto the glass. It's a known fault with the Micra. Mine came away from the drivers glass on mine. Tried using the PU stuff, but it wouldn't set. 4 weeks on from Autoglass, it's still stuck and working...

    Weee Bump!

    Thats what I would do, and thats what I did when some doofus hit me from behind in his 4x4. Glad your okay though. Although, your neck won't be the same again with a prang like that. Mine's not...

    Side window drops when wound down

    Got no idea. I presume they used the same stuff as they do to bond windscreens. A week on, it's still working fine. I know, I thought it a bit strange that he could rattle the exact price of without even checking it on the 'puter. Up till now they've been really good when I've gone in...

    Side window drops when wound down

    Following up from this lil problem I had, I took mine to Autoglass, they fixed it. And fingers crossed, so far, it's worked.... So, if anyone else is having the same problem, take it straight to Autoglass.

    Ripping off, Mercedes Garage

    Exactly!!, I owned a smart for 3 years and always had it serviced at a Mercedes main dealer. I got charged the same labour rates as a full size merc and it's only half a bleeding car...:down: And yes, it did work having it serviced at a main dealer, as when I came to sell it as i got more...

    Advice please

    IMO I wouldn't use t-cut. T-cut is cr*p. t-cut stays abbrasive during the entire process that your polishing, the more you polish, the more scratches you are gonna inflict on the paintwork. Use something like Meguiars Scratch X. Starts off being abbrasive, but as you are rubbing it in...

    contact lenses

    My eyes are "foobarred" anyway. And no, I don't wear lenses like jam jar bottoms...:suspect: Speaking to two of the consultants here, they wouldn't remommend it even if the eye sight was perfect, as opposed to mine, which is stuffed. Quite funny really as both of them wear glasses themselves.

    contact lenses

    One of them here at work said it was a 50/50 success rate, and it's not permanent. Infact, they won't even do it here, not they would on the NHS anyway, but even so, they said they wouldn't perform the op. It's probably why you see so many eye quacks wearing glasses, they won't take the...

    contact lenses

    I wouldn't use anyone else apart from Specsavers now. I went to these to have my eyes tested, and yes, I've got specs and don't look daft, well, not totally...:laugh: . It was these peeps that found I had a near retinal detachment, which involved me having surgery and a month off work...

    Crazing On The Headlamps

    Get some Meguiars PlastX polish and try that, should be able to get it from Halfords and the like. Meguiars also do a range of professional polishes that may also do the trick, but your not gonna get them from somewhere like Halfords.

    cup/drinks holder

    Have any of you got a cup/drinks holder in your K11's? My '99 GX hasn't got the bottle holder in the door bins, even it did, it wouldn't take my KFC cup of Tango...O.o Have any of you modified a cup/drinks holder for another car to fit inside the Micra? Not keen on the ones that clip...

    Side window drops when wound down

    And with that piece of advice, I popped into my local Nissan Dealer on the way home from work this afternoon. "Can I have some of those yellow clips please, blah, blah, blah" "Course you can sir, that be about £70" :suspect: "Errrr" says me "Yes sir, we don't sell the clips on there...

    Side window drops when wound down

    Same thing is now happening to mine. It decided to "drop" on Sunday while I lowered the window on Sunday to say ta ta to Samantha. Coming home from work tonight, same thing happened. Luckily it was in the up position when it decided to come of its runner. Getting into the car park at...

    I'd be a bit concerned in how low that price is? I paid "nearly" double that for my 'R plate GX...:suspect:
