I did think that. I will drain it tomorrow morning and change to GB oil. I will buy a mask as it does smell!

Okay Okay. Sorry! Anyway, back to Vibrations.... I will have the tyres changed and balanced and see if it makes any difference. Did you put normal cheap tyres on your K10 Arnold or did you put on something better? I only ask to determine if expensive tyres will still have the same problems as...

Am I right in thinking GB Oil goes in the same hole is comes out of? It did in My Mondeo but according to the Haynes manual there is no fill hole?

yeah great top speed as well! 85MPH lol. Book speed is 86MPH so its not bad. Hates 80+ mind you. I will get it down mind you. Its a challenge! Obviously maximum speed I would drive at on a road is 70MPH.

Makes me laugh I spent ages tuning and servicing my K10 and got it as perfect as you can get a 1991! Well It will do an un-official 0 - 60 in around 5.5/6 secs at the moment. (No engine mods yet) Now It shakes so I can't use the speed! What year is ur K10?

Its really annoying esp when you try and overtake and the car is vibrating all over the place. Is the vibration just because the balancing etc is out? I want to put new tires all round next month. The rubber I have are all okay but all dif!

Hi again people! I have just got back from a drive to Chelmsford from London, (Hello Essex). Car was fine although I have decided that not only running super cold all the time (See my other post) the car also runs on fumes!. About 10 miles out of Chelmsford my fuel gauge went to empty. I left...

Once I have finally found out what colour my car is I want to start the body work by colour coding the mirrors and the door handles etc. I'm not gonna touch the bumpers yet because I'm in two minds of replacing them. How easy is it to paint the mirrors? What prep do I need to go through first...

My current bog standard 1.2 GSX 1991

If the American colours were the same as the British colours then Blue Mist Metallic is the only blue I can find on a 1991 Micra. What part of the Vin number is the paint code?

LOL My plate is all faded. Where is the best place to buy paint from? I've only ever had to do respray work on My Mondeo (It was Ex-Police) and after filling all the holes I painted it. It was Easy as it was white! lol. The V5 just states blue which is a great help. Nissan Moto Co Ltd Japan...

Finally got some pictures. This is my engine minus the expansion tank.

Sounds like a stupid question but I'm trying to locate a colour code list for my car. I went to Halfords and followed their stupid list and the colour they provide is not a match? Any ideas what the colour is called or where is the best place to obtain a few cans?

LOL yes i'm dreading that thread as well. How much water do you reckon the engine will suck up during the clean. My mondeo was fine for just over 100 miles until the traction control went due to water damage! 600 repair job. Nice

LOL that was the first thing I did on the car. I changed the thermostat and the gasket. If the engine runs too cold I assume the oil does not warm up enough?

Thanks. Just to clarify the engine was warm. I drove 20 odd miles to get some oil and a few other bits! I am having my engine steam cleaned wednesday so i will be able to tell then. When I checked the Hayes manual it said 2.9l with filter change? If it is only 2.5 then I have a lot more oil then...

I've always got adapters from Autoleads. They are pretty good and, if you go to www.autoleads.co.uk you can find all the product numbers for the parts they have. Then simply go to your local supplier (Halfords) and ask them to order them in. You can buy direct from Autoleads but its not always...

Hi, I have just finished an oil change on my Micra. I went out and purchased 4lt of oil, new sump nut and filter and set on cleaning the system. I removed the filter which came off the car with great difficulty but spat out a minimal amount of oil. I then put the oil pan under the car and...

The Radiator Okay, I have just caught up with all the replies to my post about the expansion tank. According to Nissan the 1.2 GSX should have an expansion tank and the only reason it would have been removed would be if a different radiator was installed. (Pictures off this rad will go up in a...

I have to say that the engine does run cooler without an expansion tank. Mine has had a new thermostat and it runs just above the C when I'm driving and rises to 1/4 of the dial when I'm in traffic.
