Cool. Cheers guys - I've got a '98 K11 so I'll see if there are any holes there...

####e. How much did you overfill it by - I did overfill, but only by about 100-150ml - it's slightly over the top of the high mark, and I have 75 miles to get home tonight and no spanners!!

Can anyone give me an idea of where to get the earth from for an under the seat amp install. At the momnet, I've found a nut under the dash on the passenger side, but I've only got 1m of earth cable so the amp is in the passenger foot well. Where has anyone else taken the earth from...

I changed my ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) yesterday. No problems - just wanted to say that it was really easy and if anyone else wants/needs to do it then it's not a complicated task. The capacity of the box and filter is supposed to be 4.2 litres, but I only needed to replace just...

Has anyone adjusted the headlight alignment on a K11? My understanding is that's it a fairly difficult thing to get right, but I'm guessing it's not difficult to adjust things a bit. At the moment, one of my lights is quite successfully blinding the person in front of me, and not doing too...

Why not - it's great fun! Besides, you can learn a lot from losing a car - just make sure that when you try it you're somewhere sensible (wide road, car park etc) - and always expect the unexpected. First few times I did things like that, they #### me up and I didn't react at all. Now I'm...

Hi Squigobble I did one of the nuts with a small ratchet, and the other I just undid a tiny bit with the ratchet, then sort of did it with a combination of by-hand (with the socket-set end on) and various angles with the tools from the socket set! It was hassle, but once it's vaguely hand...

It's supposed to be wired to a car hands-free kit (the ones that are installed all over the car - £200+ quid or so). It automatically mutes the stereo (or attenuates a lot) when there's a phone call in place. I suppose you could put a switch on it, but all HU's I've seen that have the wire...

I've got a Lotus Esprit turbo for fun driving! I thought auto's would be a bit crap, but I've been suprised - you can do loads of other things while steering with your knees!!!! (OK, don't take that too seriously - I don't want to be responsible for anyone killing themselves!). The box is...

It's either 42k or less than 15k (I bought the car on 15k and I haven't changed them) - 99% sure it's 42k! I'd be interested to see yours on 70+k miles as well. Also, if you get a chance, shine a light in the hole they come from an check the discs to make sure they're not black. Can you let...

Thanks for the info. I've put some pics of my brushes up on another thread - things look alright, so I'm quite pleased! I just noticed that the interval for changing the gearbox oil is 12000 miles - I've done just under 30k since getting the car, and I don't know when it was changed before...

Hi All Just took my CVT electromagnetic clutch brushes out this morning to check out the wear, and I took a few pics with my phone (couldn't find my DSLR camera!!). The first one (Brushes.jpg) shows the brushes removed from the gearbox - you can just see the wear lines towards the top end...

Is it for stopping things rattling, or is it for stopping road noise? Or a bit of both? I notice people spending >£100 on Dynamat - where do you put that much and what does it stop? Cheers

Yeah, to be honest, that's what I thought (the end result being more power). But I read somewhere that the fuel economy is improved - maybe that was just the Australian view :grinning: :grinning: (it was on an Aussie Micra forum)

A barrage of questions.... What's the induction kit comprise? And how much does it cost? And will it improve fuel economy? And what else will it do? Cheers!

Has anyone actually changed the brushes on a CVT gearbox? If so, what was the car like before and after? I've had a scary conversation with Nissan about them. Basically, they are an inspection item at 27k miles, not a replacement (my car's done 41k miles). And apparently, when you take the...

Proabably a daft question, but where do you put the soundproofing? Also, is it to remove road noise etc, or the squeaks and rattles from the car body panels? As far as I understand it, Dynamat is a rubber-like sheet - is that right? I think someone was mentioning (in a different thread)...

Er, I made one humbungous cock up in the post - it's 250W PEAKfor the speakers, and 100W PEAK for the amp (and 50W peak from the HU). :upside: :upside: :upside: Does this still apply...?

You may have noticed my other posts on here about my door SPS-171A's. Now thinking of getting an amp for the front. (a) what sort of power do I need (the SPS-171A's are peak 250W) and (b) where the hell do you put an amp in the front? Maplin have got one for £40 (2x100W RMS) by...

I think I may have been assessing my speakers at the wrong time. I do lots of motorway driving (150 miles per day), and during this time I thought there was no bass and very little mid from the SPS's. The bass sounded fine cause I've got a sub+amp in the boot. But I've just been out and...
