After chatting to the very helpful Ed, I may as well get the water pumop done at the same time as the cambelt. Ed tells me that because mine is the last of the line K10s (1992 rge date, J reg), the water pump will be different than the earlier K10s. I have had a quick look on eBay and found...

Thanks Ed. Costs are mounting! Yikes!

Just spoke with motor factor. I asked them to quote me on a quality timing belt. Chap comes back and says "in my experience mate you need to buy the whole kit, which includes the tensioner and also I'd buy a water pump, 'cos when you're doing the timing belt, you are going to disturb the...

Thanks Ed :)

Thanks, Frank! :) I will await to hear back from Matt, if not, I will just get the eBay one. Thanks again!

Hi Frank :) They aren't v.good pics as weather is crap, but here goes - one pic is from the engine bay looking down, the other is under the car looking up :) :)

OK, I contacted Nissan and they want £90+VAT! And a 2 week wait. Not surprising I guess as it is hardly a part that will be most in demand. I had a look on eBay and found these lot...

Sorry, I did mean 1.2 :) Matt Humpries - is he on the forums? I will Google that name anyway, see what comes up :)

The rear engine mount has disintegrated more or less so I'd like to get a replacement. I have contacted Unipart as well as a local motor factor and nobody has anything! I am yet to contact Nissan, who will likely want £1,000,000 :D for a rear engine mount, so are there any places you guys...

I am after a pair of strips for the driver / passenger door window that lie flat across the window of the outside of the car to stope water, coathangers etc. going down the side of the window. Anybody have a pair that are in good condition they will sell me? :) It is the bit of rubber...

10 -40 is what I need - didn't know that so thanks. I think that since this isn't a very high performance, highly tuned turbo'd lump, I will stick boggo standard 10 - 40 which for everyday needs is absolutely fine. Oil has come a long way and since I do a flush with diesel most times oil is...

Thanks sleeper, very useful mate. :)

Hopefully will be getting a K11 over the w/end. Soon as I have it, I plan to do a service as I have no idea what he previous owner did / did not do to it. So I have some questions. 1. What engine oil is recommended for a boggo standard 1998 1.0 GX? 2. What spark plugs are recommended? 3. I...

Piece of #### mate :D I've done all that before on a K10. Right, Mike? :D:p

Cheeky monkey ;) :D Where's the promised tutorial? I prepared an A4 pad and pen, but nobody is returning my calls *sigh* :D

I think fronts are discs on the 1999 K11 are rears drums? A car that has covered, say 40,000 miles from new, how often should you change discs / pads and drums. Lets assume the car has not had a very harsh life, just used to potter about to shops etc.

Thanks dude. Tell me, if this something I should be looking to change ASAP when I get the car, or can it wait and is not an urgent thing ie. car will live without it fine?

I'm in North London chap, which is quite a way away from M'boro :( :D

Thanks Andy. Any idea of cost and labour time? :)

Thanks. Does that mean the bit that should be greased is no longer greased and that could be an issue? Or am I talking bollox? :D
