Fitted and setup correctly then lowering a vehicle is no less safe than running stock (within reason, putting a car so low it scrapes arches and bump steers is a different matter). That's from an engineer with 20+ years in design, vehicle systems and safety. Fitted badly, poorly setup and...

I've been wondering about the clio 172 2.0. Excluding the fact its French it was a pretty good motor and should slot in relatively easy. To be honest though, the 1.6 is fairly spritly and I very done a good 5k on motorways this year in Dot the cc without any real complaints. Also wondering...

The rocker should come with the cable as a unit. If it doesn't your going to have to spread the rocker.

only sheath is dead, but yes, replace it. auto adjusters not being even is fine as long as the shoes are the same distance from the drum. that's what they are for and they will adjust to correct location after following procedure described in manual.

It's never been an issue for me I can't say as I've ever really noticed enough of a difference from one car to the next (my golf is old enough that legally it doesn't need two mirrors, wifes is modern and has this and Dot has it). I don't remember ever getting used to it, but I guess I must have...

not heated. 3 wires are motor drive for adjustment. plug should be grey and 6 pin which looks correct to me. :) heating should have another 2 wires (perhaps 3 if it's got PID feedback and given it's a 6 wire connector 3 seems likely). not sure if the K12 ever came with heated mirrors, there is...

No, the twist is interesting. Didn't see that. Cable stretch won't cause that, but the rocker cable might. Out of balance shoe adjustment shouldn't do it either. Out if interest does one cable hang lower than the other? You might have 2 right hand cables (used to be really common due to...

more likely to be drum wear than cable stretch (unless you have the arms of a gorilla). or that one side isn't yet adjusted to match the other. sooooo the point of the cable rocker is to take up any misalignment in the system, both in the cables (5-10mm difference) and in the drum wear and...

Depends, do you like having an MOT? Or do you prefer planning 30 minutes in to every journey to talk to the police. What do you plan yo achieve by do this?

Anti stall and throttle position calibration. One you get used to, the other you need to run a reset. https://www.micra.org.uk/threads/has-anyone-reset-the-throttle-pedal-position-or-throttle-valve-position.66422/

Bad idea, Do not do it. Once auto adjuster have cycled s few told me hand brake will be fine.

I don't remember pulling the headliner on mine when I changed the seal. Some years ago I did it on a ex girlfriends k12 too, seem to remember using a ratchet spanner but that's it. Having said that, mines a cc so it's possibly different and I may have slide the liner off from one pillar and...

shares fuse with a lot of other stuff so unlikely to be fuse. check your grounding on the boot lid. remove plugs from tracks on window and check for continuity and resistance. light will light up, the defogger is run through the BCS, when you click the switch it tells the BCS to turn it on...

From memory it's just clipped in.

Remove ceiling light. Unbolt arial (under da sea) by undoing 10mm bolt, leave coax behind. Replace arial (kiss de girl) with chosen replacement (I suggest snow White, she seems the dirtiest one). Job jobbed, sit back and enjoy classic fm.

12 clicks is correct. Again, read the manual, 4 clicks is effectly the brake on which means the auto adjusters will never work. Do the auto adjusters before you do the manual adjuster, they should take up most of the slack in the shoes to drum with the manual really just to pull slack out of the...

16 clicks not 4. It's an entire system, If even one bit isn't correct it will not work correctly. If it feels crunchy it's probably the cables are still loose. This is where the service and maintenence manual really helps, its very clear on the setup needed.

Have you tightened up the manual adjuster under the handbrake lever toll you get 16 clicks? Did you set the auto adjusters in the drum till the drum just rubs? (This bit needs a few attempts of putting the drum on and off).

are they factory fitted or aftermarket? I'd assume aftermarket as I don't think they came with them from Nissan at the time. could be wrong though. if aftermarket they will be connected to the reversing light, so a quick dig in the boot for the control module will be a good first start. once...

the boot will be a touch lose, it's old and saggy, don't worry about it, it will still do it's job.
