    Expensive 54k service

    It's probably too late now, but you're entitled to the old parts that have been replaced on your car, i.e. the wishbones. You could've asked for them back after the MOT and inspected them or got someone else to have a look at them, see if they really did need replacing.

    HELP! K11 Starting Problem, Engine Flooding

    +1 to the loom here. Bought it to try and solve our flooding problem and it worked a treat. As with MarkGSi we try to keep the engine running as long as possible before cutting it again if we're just moving it a bit (Y)

    Improve call quality?

    OK - will give it a whirl later with mic level on max and speakers turned down. (I wish I had 4 of them!) Thanks again for the advice

    Improve call quality?

    Thanks Simonh, Definately a lot better but still relatively awful! :p I'm assuming its the best I can expect though for what it is.

    Improve call quality?

    I bought a JVC-KDBT11 head unit partly for the built in bluetooth capabilities - so I could use it as a handsfree kit. Now I'm not expecting miracles, especially since it uses a built in microphone, but the thing isn't far from being completely useless. I can hear people on the other end fine...

    If you're feeling a vibration through the car (i.e. through the seat) rather than through the steering wheel, that indicates the back wheels may need balancing.

    Speaker Question

    Slide the knives down either side of the stereo, between the metal cage and the stereo itself. This will 'unlock' the stereo from the cage and allow you to pull it forward. The cage will them remain where it is. (Y)

    Throw out bearing worn?

    Hey, I have a P(1997) 1.0L Micra, and it's started making quite a high pitched squeal/sqeak when driving. It's quite hard to say when it's happening, but it seems to be when the clutch is engaged. It was making the noise down a hill, and as soon as I depressed the clutch, the noise vanished. It...

    Idle Speed on Startup

    Aah, I see with the waxstat now - apologies for acting like a novice (well, I am!) Will have a look ASAP and see if it is seized. If it is, can it be fixed with a little oil or am I looking at a new TB?

    Idle Speed on Startup

    Do you mean that as in the waxstat should give the faster idle when cold, when it's operating normally, and because it may have siezed this is causing it to start with a low idle? And also would this be noticeable at any other time (i.e. driving?) - because in this case it isn't :grinning...

    Idle Speed on Startup

    I'm looking for some advice on what might be wrong with my K11 1.0l Shape (P: 1997) Micra - and I guessed here would be my best bet :wasntme: I'm not sure if this is connected, but: I had a problem a few months back where now and again the car didn't start first time, but rather cough and...
