I think I've absorbed almost as much GT85 as the car lol. Just one question then really (excuse my ignorance), but what r clip? Is it for a join between the back box section and the pipe section that precedes it? All I could see without the car jacked up was the rubber mounts and the flanged...

Well, I managed to get lucky on eBay and won a 4-2-1 manifold, and full exhaust including backbox and sport cat... It just got delivered today and is currently in a half-open box in the back of my car and appears to be in good condition. I was planning on fitting it this weekend...

waiting for stuff to ship / arrive ...

I'd imagine Recaro was what was meant?

If you're not keen on soldering, but dead set on keeping the stock head unit, another option is getting a wired FM modulator that basically pipes an aux source into the antenna socket via a piggyback antenna connector. No FM transmission loss, and usually no interference, although you might need...

Brilliant, I'm up in Manchester, so how much did you want including postage?

Is this still for sale?

Right, so I've been servicing the Micra and should have a full Janspeed exhaust and 4-2-1 manifold arriving soon, so I'm keen on sorting out the induction side of things, but would like to keep it stock-ish looking, so would like to get hold of a Primera / Almera airbox and ideally the intake...

Possibly McMicra the member? http://www.micra.org.uk/members/mcmicra.15724/

Just wanted to come back and conclude this thread for posterity. I tried to drive the car from the garage back to my house for the weekend, on the advice of the garage mechanic that sometimes people from a pub nearby might mess around with cars in the road. The car sounded terrible like it was...

Ace, cheers for the pointers :D

Cheers Frank. Is it worth looking into getting parts to overhaul the existing gearbox? Or shall I just stick to hunting for a decent condition replacement? Is there a code or part number for the pre facelift gearboxes? Just thinking it might be tricky at a scrap yard if they're dead similar...

Took it in to a garage and the guy checked it out and said the clutch is fine, but the gearbox has had it. He said he had a quick look for a replacement and found one for 175 (lol), would charge 80 quid labour, and then 10 or something for gear oil. Obviously I'd already checked out prices of...

Well I finally had a look under the car and the rear engine mount (assuming that's the rubber/metal mount right next to the universal joint of the gear rod) looks intact and secure. The front right mount looks like it has a gap between the central metal part and the two rubber things either...

I tried tightening the clutch cable until the biting point was right at the top of the pedal, so everywhere from the bottom quarter of pedal travel to the top. This only achieved adjustment of the biting point and did not have any effect on making 1st easier to shift into, and did not help 1st...

I actually loosened the clutch cable, and didn't try it tighter than it was. Will have a go at setting it tighter tonight, and the clutch press listen...

Had a play around with the clutch pedal stop and the cable adjuster. It seemed slightly easier to change gear for about 5 minutes of driving around, and then gears started popping out, 1st mainly, and also is randomly difficult to change into 1st. So, basically the same situation as before...

Before I started driving it, I think it only ever had repairs for MOT. The previous two years to now, I've opted for service+MOT around the 100 quid mark, so I think it's only ever had a basic service. I've never noticed the rev dip in neutral, clutch pedal lifted, but probably because I've...

This is starting to get annoying/dangerous and here is what is happening, and has developed over the last few weeks: 1st and 5th gears often pop out of gear, both while travelling and when setting off. 3rd occasionally pops out, and 2nd has done so once. Also, there is a new secondary...
