    My new wheels. (pic heavy)

    its ok... the first few days i kept looking through the wheel and being temporarily shocked at the grey plastic abyss staring back at me then realising the gauges were off to the left. the gauges are analogue in the RS not digital like the standard yaris and are backlit in white so stand out...

    Speedo Convertor

    they should all be interchangable as far as i know the wiring should be the same. only drawback is a new one from nissan will set you back around £600 if not more, and even then it will read 0 miles, as the mileage is stored in the gauge cluster not on the e.c.u. and it is illegal to tamper...

    Sorry...another timing chain question!!

    well the k12's engine is taken from the k11 with just some minor changes as far as im aware and the k11 engines are well proven of being capable of seeing 200k and more. renault own nissan now so if you had have bought a clio you would have indirectly bought a micra anyway though im not sure...

    Water Pump Belt + fan belt

    im fairly sure theres no interval mileage wise as to when to change the water pump so if yours is working fine then i would just leave it. also im pretty sure the belt can be changed without removing the arch liner iirc with minimal swearing too ;)

    Performance Spark Plugs - worth it?

    my micra has denso iridiums in it, no noticalble economy/ performance difference tbh. but they cost 60 euro for four and last for 80,000 miles a regular set cost around 15 euro and have to be replaced every 10,000 miles so if you intend to keep the car for more than 40,000 miles it makes...

    K12 retrofit foglights

    the wiring for them should be part of your loom already (or mine was anyhow) so all u need are new stalks (the stalky things behind the steering wheel for turning them on) and the lamps themselves. i got both at my local scrappy for 45 euro. the stalks are handy enough, not sure if you...

    Scratch Repair

    K12 SE AUTO,Removed Battery Terminal Now Car wont start

    A quick google search threw this up. i know it says 2000 - 2002 models but it may be of some use to you as it sounds like just your problem. its a bit technical to read but i think the basic gist of it is to get your battery fully charged, re-fit it to the car, turn the ignition on and reset the...
