    Micra / Nova confusion??

    If a bird clobbered me in the goolies I would have demanded that she kiss it better :p I've had my K10 called a skip by the way (how dare they compare my Micra to a Skoda) :p BG

    Black Lowering Springs

    I was surprised to find some policies don't let you drive other cars (not belonging to or hired by you) as standard? I have this with both my policies. Although it is only TPFT on other cars of course. The Swedish system sounds ideal where you want to teach a friend or relative to drive as this...

    PistonHeads.com: AA Urges Gov to Cancel Fuel Rise

    The robbing barstewards make double the money out of us, because the extra cost of every single item you buy in a shop due to increased freight costs also rakes in extra VAT for them Perhaps we should protest. Oh, sorry, I forgot, that is illegal now :mad: BG

    I hate pressurewashers

    I hope there isn't also a pint of water sitting in the bottom of the doors! Thanks for the tip, I'll certainly avoid using one of those. BG

    How to tell a 1.3 from a 1.0

    I thought all k10/k11 3 door Micras had pop-out windows ;) Would the CG10 gearbox be strong enough in the long run? BG

    The reverse light won't work?

    I'd be interested to know too. The Haynes manual is a bit confusing with regard to the wiring schematics! The one on my K10 works when it feels like it but my K11 is ok at present (hope I haven't spoken too soon!) BG

    Cleaning the heater

    Use high temperature solder otherwise you'll only have a temporary fix! And spray it with lacquer to stop any further corrosion ;) (not sure how hot these resistors get, but hopefully not hot enough to burn the lacquer off) BG

    fag lighter?

    Maplin sell car accessory sockets, code A59FL, for £4.99. These should be suitable (but obviously won't be compatible with lighters!) Hellfrauds probably sell them as well. BG

    fag lighter?

    I'll do it in the morning when it's light, don't want to attract attention by flashing :p It's basically 2 spade connections but may help if you see what the loom and back of the socket looks like. I don't know if a standard socket will fit the hole though, you may need to use epoxy to fix it...

    Found this on auto trader

    It does sound dodgy to me. A car with all this done to it but he doesn't want to MOT it and get a better price? :confused: BG

    fag lighter?

    The factory-fitted K11 lighter socket (mine has one) is wider than a standard one, I fitted the 4-way socket I had in my K10 and had to spring the side contacts out to stop the plug falling out! The lighter insert also doesn't fit the 4-way socket or the socket in the K10 as it's too wide. The...

    PistonHeads.com: Parking Fine Dodgers to have Cars Crushed

    I am pleased others have commented on there with similar opinions to my own. Why crush a perfectly good car. What a fing waste. And it just goes to show how committed our council are to upholding the title of "Britain's first Environment City" (we as taxpayers have paid for numerous signs on...

    are people giving up on the K10?

    It will be a sad day when I let go of my K10, but the front suspension's knocking, the gearbox has just about had it and there's an oil leak now. The front tyres are also bald plus the front brake shoes are worn out. The bodywork isn't too bad (hardly any rust) but there are a few minor...

    How much is YOUR Insurance?

For me (policy for K11): Age: 37 NCB: 3 Mods: None so far Insurer: CIS Policy: Fully Comp + Legal Protection Premium: £226 approx Insurance for my K10 is ~£305 TPFT with Yes Insurance...

    Question: Age of Driving Test examiner?

    Male, 40 something I think. Can't remember to be honest. Only got 2 minor marks though :D BTW I used the instructor's car so as to avoid driving like I usually do in my own car :p BG

    K11 stuff on ebay look

    That's got to be the crappest listing I've seen on there so far. No attempt at even moving some of the stuff in the pile so you can actually see what's on offer! BG

    Tan Hill, Sometime?

    If I'm in the area I wouldn't mind paying a visit :) (I'm considering a trip to visit a few friends around that time and might be able to tie this in) BG
