Thanks mate! you're the king! and always the first to reply!

Wow man that's some detailedi nfo right there as always mate! much obliged! will go through it tomorrow or if not the weekend. A quick update, yesterday after I drove a substantial trip back home I rechecked the hoses and they both ( the one running into the cabin and the one running from the...

Thanks mate too for your help. Anyone know the right size right off the top of his mind? by any chance.. since I finish late from work and there's not much time to go find the oring from harddware stores.

thanks man for the details, haven't had time to go through pollyp's detailed guide. but have noticed datasomething. would I need to hook something up? since I haven't got the obd stuff. any workarounds to doing it through manual cleaning after unplugging? btw if washer gets perished, seeing...

So I should get to the below pic, right? : had to go through the old library of micra pics to get to this one.. hehe, then should I remove the mesh and dig deeper to that butterfly like metal flap that opens and closes or should I just spray carb cleaner into it? or am I rushing..as always?

thanks man for the heads up, flushing can't be done DIY, am I right? what do you mean bypassing thermostat, I'm aware the car has one but have no clue where it's at.

sorry guys to bring this up, but has jsut gone over this thread. How do you exactly get to the ICV? dismantle the t/b? or spray inside the mesh carb cleaner lots of it? my rev meter keeps jumping, but this happened after I replace the oem dizzy cap with an aftermarket one IIRC. thanks mates...

How Would I know mate? I presume I can unbolt the pipe from the bottom of the rad and see what comes out, and a refill after. but possibly is the micra that solid that with a blockage no sign of overheating? if so, another solid proof of bullet proof engine!

still why would vacuum happen? it shouldn't under normal conditions.. right?

wow that was fast replying frank! will check for you guys today after work at 5pm local time, 6pm uk time.

I've noticed recently that the radiator return pipe has shrunk, also a similar pipe that runs into the cabin also seems to have shrunk behind the battery. hope can be seen in images. anyone has any clue? also if these pipes need replacement, any specific size and name of such pipes? the above...

Actual size is 155/70/13 Steelies and the original tyre brand the micra was shipped with upon manufacture were PNEUMANT brand cos I managed to find the originals. Thanks for all your support guys

Thanks Enuo! btw love your job especially if it's got to do with automotive! ;) thanks guys again! I hope I'd be able to rebuild my micra back to its former glory. rust is starting to kick in it's her 19'th bday this yr, it drives superb. the body work is what's giving me issues.

One last imp question.. What's the odds of leaving 15s on the rear and the new rubbered 13s on the front? guess no damage could be caused ey? for anyone wondering why. it's cos the rear wheels are only like 2 yrs old the front ones are like 6 yrs old. and to replace the front 2 15s costs like...

thanks Drand, wonder how it comes with varying sizes from factory..maybe part of the facelift? huh! thanks btw. anywhere known for cheap tyres in uk online where I can check for curiosity so I'll compare with local ones? last weekend, micra started rumbling..found out that the exhause pipe...

Hi guys, sorry to bother. I've been currently running on 195/65/15s for like 4 yrs now but am a bit tight on money and have to consider switching to stock wheelies for a while but either the 15s and the stock 13s require new rubber, I summed that the 13s would come way cheaper to replace. Can...

Noticeable difference is evident, yet much is still to be desired with regards to ride quality I am still getting loads of bumps being felt inside the cabin even till the steering. I'm sure the 195/65/15 wheels are playing a crucial role but I recall the ride never being this rough b4..

Good to see it's been a contribute to others here, since Other's contribution was what got me to complete my repair. The car's showing noticeable improvement, yet still further improvement is pending since I have to replace rear engine mounting and the rubber washers on the bolts holding the...

eyy man sorry for taking long to reply. No worries abt hijacking anything. Just did mine yesterday, turned out piece of cake. I've taken some photos to show from where we had to grind the bolt that was fused inside the bush. BTW this only happened on the passenger side thankfully :) . Important...

I have put things back in place with i.e. bolted back the old wishbone, until I get myself a fitting bolt and a grinder for fixing the wishbone mount. If anyone goes through the same issue, the bolt must be head size spanner 19, 75mm in length from head to threaded end. and thread diameter is...
