Yep, seen this in one of the x men films..lol

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for some sort of alarm system for a k11? As the locks don't seem to be that jimmy proof on the micra, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a mobile type of alarm that would fit into the car, without too much hard wiring as the car is nearly eighteen...

Yes, I agree. Just seen one like that advertised. It had only done 23 k, they wanted something like £700 but it was mint! As they say on the programme "The Apprentice", the search continues,,!

Thats a great job, been doing that area on mine over the last few months. I am as far back as the rear valence now but its been more in patches. I am looking at doing the rear axle next in that area. Also, ordering some dynax s-50 to finish off spraying in the sills.. Alas, the joys of...

I'm on the lookout for another k11 like you guys have bought also. There seems to be a lot being sold off at the moment. I'll probably use this one I have as a donor car then.

Total stab in the dark here but apart from one of those pesky gremlins that steal engine management lights out of your dash, have you thought of discounting the electrics/electronics side by connecting one of those diagnostics tools for 8 quid on ebay. I only mention it as your engine light...

With a small grinding wheel and wire cup/wheel brushes. They get in everywhere. Like down ends of chasiss rails and long narrow channels like the exhaust is recessed into. Around curved areas like the cups that the suspension springs fit into. Curved area/channels like this are ideal for...

Good thinking. Fortunately, I have been using a dremel and don't know what i would do without it!:p

Hoping to get another week or two of half decent weather to finish off undersealing the the bit between the rear axle and valance. Oh, how I wish i had a one of those thingermcgiggery things they use in garages to hoist your car up in the air sometimes.! I won't bore you with what a thankless...

Not sure if this is blue, bluey green or aquamarine but this is the the best sort of metalic colour.

Very true, if it wasn't for people who have caught the micra bug with their dog eared determination to preserve the things, there would not be micras in museums in the future..

Its hard to explain but if you look down into the bottom of the sills, around 6 to 8 inches from the back you will see a little square cutout about 2 x 2 inches, next to that is a little flap of metal also about 2 x 2 inches. Get the dremel whitha a grinding wheel or saw and cut out this little...

Its a tough call on whether to keep this car due to this rust. Its the inner sill that you can't see in these pics that will give you problems as well unless you rustproof and ideally get the rust out. I put camera down in mine and the rust didn't look too bad. Then I cut a small hole with...

Pull the plastic rear quarter panels either side of the rear seat(if its a 2 door) and look down into the back of the sills to see what the damage is. If this looks good, its probably worth saving/investing time in the car if you really like the car. I have patched and rustproofed insides these...

Certainly a contender for the history of the micra museum..;p

Ahhrrr, those blinkin yellow people conned me again..!!! lol..:rolleyes:..

Well, replaced my drivers door lock, that was easier than expected and the locks are only a fiver each! Cheap as chips! Ordered one of these new fandangled LED reversing lights on ebay as they are supposed to be much brighter. We'll soon see when the it arrives in a few weeks from my...

Exactamondo FM, even the might vw polo was less reliable than when the k11 was out around the 2000's :)

Hi, Has anyone fitted the driver's door barrel lock? It looks straight forward but thought I'd just check if that plate holding the barrel in the door gives any trouble getting it out. Think I'll give it a squirt of gasplus if its gonna be stubborn. Thanks anyhows for checking this out..:p

I agree with you. However this article being on msn is high praise as they don't usually mention the micra. Not sure about this Auto magazine tho as others probably know it better than me. At this micra's 18 year age and given that you can pick one up cheaper for closer to 100 to 150 quid on...
