Hi Guy's, I'm planning to change the shockers on the wifes 2001 1.0 Micra. I've already got Bilstein B4 gas shocks but I'm now looking at getting the front ones. Can anyone confirm whether these are correct right - 22-044822, left - 22-044815 I only ask as they are listed upto 2000, but I found...

I replaced the sump on my wife's car last year, all I did was to undo the exhaust manifold from the head (leaving the downpipe still attached , use new gaskets) and the you can pull it forward and it drops down . The support bar has to be removed . With regards to oil I use Shell Engine Oil...

Hi Guy's, SWMBO Micra exhaust had to be replaced due to the back box blowing and also the bolts that hold the front pipe to the cat had rusted away. Anyhow, our local tyre centre changed it for us but they said that the centre bracket had rusted away and needs replacing. Unfortunately I'm...

Well, I fitted the cluster and it all works perfectly, to top it off, the mileage is only 300 miles out so I'm well happy

Thanks Andy, much appreciated mate

Hi Guy's, the other half's micra is a 2001 facelift activ, I've just bagged a facelift sport+ instrument panel that includes the rev counter. Is it just a plug and play fit ? I know there's only a single plug on the panel so I'm guessing it is, hopefully. My other question is regards to the...

Cheers bud, yep no leaks

Sorry forgot to update this thread, the 'squeaking' noise when turning off the engine was definitely the water pump. When I removed the old one, I could feel high spots when turning the shaft, so probably the bearing. Replaced the pump and the car is really quiet now, so I guess it must have...

Sorry for the delay with an update guy's. I removed and replaced the sump a couple of weeks ago. I removed the exhaust manifold from the head and just moved the manifold/downpipe out the way so I could removed the sump. All in all it took me about 4 hours, with no problems. The next day I...

Cheers guy's, I plan to do this in a couple of weeks time, weather permitting

I might attempt the manifold to head nuts lol

Thanks Tom, I'm just fearful that if I try and undo the downpipe or the manifold, the studs might break

Hi Guy's, The other half's Mirca has electric adjusting headlights (2001 model) it also has the adjuster switch on the dash. Sometimes the n/s headlight, when turning on the lights and starting etc, the beam is too low and other times its ok. Is there a known issue with the adjuster motor etc ...

Hi Guy's, I'm going to replace the sump on the other half's Micra, due to it leaking, common I know. I just need to ask a couple of questions: 1 - Can the sump be replaced without removing the exhaust downpipe ? 2 - For what I've read, the only gaskets are the two rubber end ones, so I need...

Thanks for your replies guy's, much appreciated. I've ordered a Valeo pump, I know it might not be the issue but its either the wp or the PAS pump, so one first then the other :)

Would a Valeo pump be ok, I know Valeo supply parts for Land Rover Discovery's, I know because I buy Valeo parts of my TD5, but thats no testimony :)

Hi Guy's, I'm looking into changing the water pump on SWMBO's Micra, due to a high pitched whine that develops after a few miles, at tick over. I've already changed both drive belts and also just ran the PAS and water pump belt on its own and the noise is still there. Infact it also whines when...

All sorted :)

Hi, the other halfs Micra needs a new set of drive belts can anyone please advise me which ones I need (size wise). The car is a 1.0 2001 with power steering and air con. Many thanks
