Hi Folks, SWMBO Micra could do with having new suspension all round really. I've been looking about and I think I've figured out which shocks I should buy, Bilstein B4 gas shocks. Apparently they are close to standard but offer a better ride. Now the problem I have is with the springs, what make...

Thanks for the info, much appreciated ;)

Hi Folks, the other halfs Micra K11 2001 instrument cluster is really dim (like the driver ;)) , it looks like the bulbs for the fuel and temp gauges have failed, also the hazard light switch bulb has gone. Can anyone tell me how to replace them and also what standard bulbs I need. Many thanks

Ok thanks, but its no reason not to sort it, otherwise I'm just being lazy :)

Will do, I'm concerned the MOT is a week on Saturday and think it might be picked up. It's not dumping loads of oil but a little oil goes a long way, as we all know :)

Thanks for the info h701micra, much appreciated

Hi all, SWMBO's car (1.0 K11 2001) is dripping oil from the sump, I can see quite a bit of corrosion on it, so I guess the pan needs replacing. Do I need to remove the exhaust to change the sump ? I only ask as the exhaust bolts are really rusty and I don't fancy having to drill and tap new...

Sorry guys, just a quickie, should I have used a T50 torx bit for the filler and not a 10mm allen key. I only ask as when the key slipped, a closer look convinced me that it should be a torx bit ?

Hi Guy's, many thanks for your suggestions, think I'll go with the over sized torx bit on the filler plug. Another job for the weekend :laugh:

Hi Scott, thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I haven't got access to a welder. Would I be able to epoxy a 10mm allen bit/socket to the plug ?

Hi, I changed the oil on the other halfs 2001 1.0 Micra the other week, both the filler and drain plugs undone without any problems (used a 10mm allen key on the filler). I replaced the oil with 2.5 litres as per the haynes manual. Since the change we have noticed that changing into first can...

Hi, I've read through a few of the posts already covering this topic, but they seem to address the red buttoned fob reprogramming. I have bought a spare key for my 2001 micra from ebay, a friend on mine will cut me a new key and also program a new immobiliser chip, but can I reprogram the plip...
