    Paint advice - changing doors

    Guys related to this would an H reg LS 2 door drivers door fit on a J reg GS? Both facelift so I'm guessing it would but checking with the experts before I do the run to grab it (Y)

    Gearbox mounting bushes/gear shift mounting bushes?

    Pretty hard for me as none around London have them last time I checked. Don't mind paying for the Nissan part but just not sure what it is.

    Rallynuts dampers?

    Would recommend the KYB gas shocks. Got them with 30mm springs and a very nice improvement it makes to the LS. Great with handling heavy gardening loads in the rear, too, so the missus is happy.

    Gearbox mounting bushes/gear shift mounting bushes?

    Hi, Mechanic mentioned that the vibration I get in my LS when changing into first is the gearbox mounting bushes having perished and that only Nissan can supply the part. Anyone know if the advice is correct and what the part number is? Gearbox engages fine as does the clutch, just this...

    Anyone recommend a mechanic in London? PM please

    Garage round the corner refused to change the cam belt, last guy I had do some work couldn't figure out some pretty basic stuff porkpie helped me with. Anyone know a decent mechanic in London, pref. south but whatever. I try my hand at a few jobs but some I just know I will regret taking on.

    Paint Bumpers To Match Bodykit?

    What's the story with removing the bump strips? Stuck on with adhesive? Reckon my LS looks good without them and want to take them off the GS.

    Windscreen removal

    God bless the non-bonded screen. Spent days sawing a screen from my old Gloria with a mate and loads of wire and pain.

    Grip n' Roll

    An expert will have some decent advice but my 1.0 used to do nasty pulls to the side over bumps and sometimes a weird wobble sideways at speed-very unnerving. New springs (35mm drop), KYB gas shocks and some decent tracking from the boys and the car is transformed and stays straight no matter...

    Rear door struts re-gassed

    Nice one. Just what I need and having bought older rear struts before I can say that they aren't all that great.

    my micra might be dead....

    Can anyone recommend by PM somewhere in south London that does decent welding? Also looking for a half respray on another car. My current guy let me down with some recent welding; really nasty job.:down:

    Missing!

    porkpie will no doubt be along with the right idea but this amateur would like to suggest checking the vacuum pipes. Better yet, just replace them all. Quick cheap job and fixed major issues on both of my K10s (and on my Datsun, too.) I used this stuff and the service was good, too...

    Springs and shock questions

    actually one more question. Seems that it is cheaper to get some lowering springs than standard ride height ones. Can I drop those in or do I then get into funny suspension issues, tyre wear, all that stuff. Don't want to lower the car but if the springs are the cheapest and work then I'll do it.

    Springs and shock questions

    My 1.0 has been a trooper in this last load of snow, including an emergency run to the hospital. The old girl needs new shocks. Also wondering about springs. How do you tell when springs need replacing? The shocks are an MOT advisory, nothing said about the springs but while I'm doing shocks...

    K10 with 296,000 miles

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-MICRA-GS-/300498796111?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item45f71fbe4f#ht_500wt_1156 (Y) Two previous owners. Guess the mileage is genuine. One case where you want it to be high! Great effort, Nissan.
