in between your speedo and rev counter you have two thermometer symbols one above the other, one blue, one red. the blue one is illuminated upon cold start and stays illuminated until the engine reaches operating temperature (86 degrees C) to be precise. the red one only illuminates to say...

http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/1315050 i feel sick at the thought someone thinks thats a reasonable price.

id imagine 'heatsoak' from the manifold is going to kill whatever power gains that air filter offered if you keep it there. id extend the pipe and try fit it at the same level as, but in front of the alternator so it could be sucking cold air in from the grille... or possibly mount it in...

im beginning to think this too because both the revs and speedo are very 'lumpy' as in the needles dont move smoothly up and down, but the thoughts of taking the dash apart again tonight :( i'l try this in the morning though. really i should have checked that stuff before i reassembled...

no, didnt swap the barrel, just the switch off the end of it, (the opposite end to the aerial transponder) as far as im aware its just a switch and doesnt have to be coded to the car the car starts and drives fine and locks and unlocks fine, reacting perfectly normal just that the light is on

btw its a 2004 k12 1.0 :D

Rirteo chums as many of you know i had a problem starting my micra lately in that it wouldnt start at all lol. anyway i traced this back to the ignition switch at the back of the barrel being worn. i read on a site (i forget which) from google which said that there was a recall on early...

My 2004 k12 is suffering from the usual ignition barrel being worn and finding it hard to turn the key far enough to start it. basically im just wondering is there a part of the barrel i can replace from a scrappy car that will suit mine, or is it a custom piece on every car seeing as its to...

the regulation came in in 1995 though so if your car is post 95 and doesn't have them (due to it being imported or having dash/headlamps replaced at some stage in its life) you just need to go to a scrappys and get a switch and the motors as your loom should be intact. some late 94 models may...

is the sensor there already (i very much doubht) or will it be a scrapyard job?

have a look at my thread, i put half leathers in mine last year, they were a direct swap over and all necessary wires were just clipped on under the carpet and just needed to be plugged in :D mine were just airbag cables and seatbelt pretensioners thought. what spec micra are you putting them...

this seems to happen to a lot ok k11's particularly early reg 3 door variants, as was said a set of better quality hinges from a scrap yard is the cheapest, easiest way out :)

yeah its in most car cleaning/ protection products as its cheap and cheerful! and i like cheap and cheerful things as much as the next person for sure :D but waterless carwash gimics are like washing your car with a fine grade sandpaper lol sprayers hate it coz it makes whatever lands on it...

well im just fussy lol imagine you were washing mud, tar and debris off your hands and you just put soap on them, rubbed it in and then wipe them dry with a towel and didnt use any water. it wouldnt work as well would it? and thats exactly the same as what your doing here except your paintjob...

has yours got a trip computer (screen above the radio) or is your clock between your speedo and rev counter?

more of an obsessive than an enthusiast lol! you should try auto glym 'super resin polish' http://www.autoglym.com/engb/product-proddetail.asp?v06VQ=HD&Range=1v gets rid of swirls, scratches and moderate tree sap and tar etc. does a really nice job and is as competitively priced as anything...

and yeah cheers R-REG-SR i have to mention it again lol! got a job! wwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooooooooooooopppp! was delighted, they had a polish guy working there but he went back home to poland so good news for me! and you can actually see the garage from my house so commuting costs are...

the instructions specifically said the car had to be perfectly dry, so water/ damp cloth wasn't an option for application. i usually use auto glyms high definition wax which is closer to €60 a shot and you can apply that while the car is still wet and it leaves an amazing finish and water...

yeah, i read the vague instructions... i worked previously as a valeter in 2 different garages and just yesterday landed a new job (finally) as a valeter in a local garage so i use a lot of different polishes and waxes. i did each face of the car indivdually at a time, and at 6pm on a cloudy...
