    what did you do to your micra today ?

    Took her out in the snow before it really set in for the night. Turns out that my local McCarpark wasn't gritted, so I was able to get a healthy 20 box of Mcnuggets, and eat them whole sliding sideways [emoji3] I finally got round to giving her an oil change yesterday in prep for the cold snap...

    Sam's Micra(s)

    Completely so [emoji6][emoji2] other than the crossmember, she's basically rust free. So the long-term plan is to find a 1.3l for dirt cheap, and drop it in. A tow hitch would also be good, but having trouble finding one nearby for a decent price ahaha [emoji16] Sent from my XT1562 using Micra...

    Sam's Micra(s)

    So, update As I've had time off work, I thought I'd better sort out the crossmember. I had a poke around, and the whole thing was... A hole I ended up getting a whole front panel from eBay for £10 more than it would have been for just the crossmember, and considering I needed a new bonnet latch...

    what did you do to your micra today ?

    Did a dry run for the crossmember and whole front panel replacement. Basically undid everything is need to. For a 20 year old car, there was no seized bolts (touch wood). Considering this went through an MOT last august, I can only assume the tester was blind, as they somehow missed that the...

    Removing the old aerial / Radio reception issues

    The cause for the sparking would be that Nissan decided to earth the stereo unit through the aerial. I'm guessing you've taken the head unit out and checked that the cables are all properly plugged in? Other than that, all I can think is that your stereo isn't grounding properly, and that there...

    Overfilling expansion bottle with bubbles in

    Is there any oil in the coolant that you can see? If there is, it may well be a gasket is on its way out Any idea how long the since the coolant was last changed? If its properly old, it might be worth doing a full coolant flush. Does the thermostat in the radiator work open?

    Sam's Micra(s)

    Thanks Liam [emoji1] Okay so first update It turns out that the roof rack is every bit as functional as I had hoped it'd be. I've been using it to carry pallets home from the garden center because, at the grand price of £1 each, 4 pallets is a damn slight cheaper than a shop bought bed frame...

    Sam's Micra(s)

    So this is my first post here, despite having spent most of the last week browsing threads. I guess this also doubles as my "Hi, I'm new here" post. It has been almost a week now since I caved in and finally got myself a K11 Micra, and honestly, I wish I'd done it sooner. It was kind of an...
