    Why the Micra?

    That's one of my favourite bits of owning a cheap, small car. The 'scare the sh*t out of arrogant knobs in big expensive cars' factor. On my way to a friends a 10 in the morning the other day and this insignia taxi decided it wasn't gonna wait in the roadworks traffic and tried to overtake...

    Gadgets or things you cant live with out..

    Driven two actually, one of my best friends had a facelift auto that he got on the mobility scheme, which I didn't really like driving due to the auto box but was great as a passenger, and my dad has a preface one, I know what you mean about the whole thing being rather dull, but it's not really...

    Black Box Insurance

    I looked into blackbox insurance back when I had my K11, just before I got it actually I think, and I tried getting a quote from a few companies that I don't remember the name of. All of them told me the K11 was too old to install a black box into. Personally, I really loathe the idea of...

    Why the Micra?

    I got my K11 because it was given to me, for free. I found it was bullet-proof reliability wise, small enough to squeeze through 90% of gaps, really nimble in the twisty's, and it had loads of power in the lower rev range where is where I usually keep mine. Added bonus was good fuel economy...

    K12 audio swap

    The Nissan Connect (official nissan satnav Cd player combo that came with the higher end Note's and Micra's) has both an Aux and iPod input, and from what I saw on my friends Note was actually such a fantastic system that I tried to get one for myself. Some of the newer CD players that are found...

    Gadgets or things you cant live with out..

    I don't know about his current car but on his SR I believe Guy had the rear seats stripped out, so plenty of room for a fridge in the back! Or you could always buy a Note which as the Air Con-cooled glove box :P

    160 SR in Arctic White

    Soogle Being a facelift yours will already have the black heater dials. As for the beeps being in the stereo menu, I think that must be a facelift thing? I've got a custom stereo in there now but the old OEM Nissan 6 CD changer just had settings for Bass/Treble/Fade/Balance etc. Jen I'll...

    What tyres do you use and why?

    I've got Continental PremiumContact 185/50/16, because that's what the car came with and I didn't see any problems (besides the price!) so when it came to changing the front two I thought might as well go with the same as I have on the back.

    160 SR in Arctic White

    Any idea how I'd go about doing that? Mine are so loud that when I was parking up next to a friend the other day, both of our cars had windows shut, he could clearly hear my sensors going haha.

    160 SR in Arctic White

    Mine's got parking sensors (I'm not a fan I'd rather concentrate on what I'm doing than have them screaming at me) my mum's activ has bluetooth, no bother really as I've put a custom stereo in and plug my phone in through a headphone jack which works just as well. Yeah the blue is rare, I've...

    160 SR in Arctic White

    Hot dang! Now that's what I've been waiting to see a prefacelift sport K12, it looks the business! Wish I could have found a white one when I got mine (i get mocked a lot about the baby blue colour!) and it would have matched my old K11 which was white :) Given that it's a 2005 model I'd assume...

    Sit up and take note....

    Niiice, my dad has a note and until recently one of my close friends did too, I think the JDM ones are a fair bit nicer than the UKDM ones, and those wheels are ace!

    03 reg 1.2 Auto S - completly dead and won't start - help!?

    Maybe test it from a known working battery? Jump starts aren't always effective, as I've found in the past. This is a shot in the dark but I'm going to say ignition barrel, if your car is unlocking and locking normally but you're not getting any lights on the dashboard when you turn the key...

    what did you do to your micra today ?

    My K11 sat in a garage for 3 years and started first click with nothing but a jump box for assistance. Well, second attempt as the first time we connected the jump cables the alarm went off continuously and the immobiliser armed itself, pushing the button did nothing to save our ears. Once we'd...

    I think he means that his engine warning light is on guys, not that the indicator is malfunctioning.
