    Foot Rest

    Because the drop from the clutch pedal to the floorboard in a K11 seems unusually long, I have a tendency to ride the pedal (not good for clutch longevity, obviously). I wanted a foot rest of some kind but hadn't really sorted how to go about it when I stumbled across the solution on eBay...

    Scrapyard Photos

    Podders, Nottingham. Nice people. Turnover there is teriffic. Average length of stay for a car is 17 days with about the same number coming in every day. Cars are mashed flat and trucked out ( five lorries a week) to another breakers yard where the various metals are sorted out. Bulk of...

    Had a wander about my local scapyard and took a few photos. Can anyone give me a few facts about the Sunnys, such as engines, throttle bodies, etc.? Any use on a Micra?

    A 2 litre for your Micra?

    Dont' know if it's a runner or not. Rest of car looked pretty good, bodywork, etc. They've already started on the interior, steering wheel gone, and more. Guy said around £100, cheap I reckon, for the engine and £75 for the trans. The calipers are about £20 each, if they're of any use. I'm...

    Replacing clutch cable

    Not that difficult. I've replaced two using the Haynes manual as a guide. Remove the battery and battery mounting bracket. Also the air cleaner inlet duct. Locate the clutch release lever and slacken the locknut and knurled adjuster nut on the cable end. There is an inner and outer...

    Norton Antivirus Warning

    I use AVG also but still get the warnings. I'm pretty lame when it comes to screenshots, etc. It's just a small label (?) that comes on next to the Micra Sports Club label on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Usually goes away in a few seconds. S

    I have one with RDS, and the code, that I removed from my Super S. Got tired of haunting the charity shops for decent cassettes so I installed a CD player. Going real cheap. Let me know if you're interested. S

    Notchy/stiff 2nd gear when warm

    Sorry, should have added that to do this job you'll need, besides the tool to remove the plug, a floor jack, and jack stands - don't get under your car without them. If you haven't got the tools, find a good garage - ask around! Insist on good quality oil and if you can't get synthetic or...
