I've had LUK fitted in other vehicles and they have been fine. Looking through Eurocarparts I saw listings for 180mm & 190mm diameter clutches, which may mean removing yours before purchasing a new one.

Here is a link that may help you. There are several topics on this within the forum. Hope these help. https://www.micra.org.uk/threads/clutch-cable-or-pedal-problems.64138/

Hi Nick If the cable is new and the pedal moves freely when it's disconnected the cable may be adjusted to tight, giving no free play and the clutch pressure plate being over exerted. As a clutch was replaced at 12,000 miles could be a sign a previous owner rode the clutch or a lot of traffic...

Nothing exciting going on at the moment. Just replaced 4 tyres with 165/60x14 Nexen NBlue HD Plus the current ones were 10 years old and starting to perish. I have found Nexens to be good all round on other vehicles as well.

TV adverts were using Morris Minors 30 years ago portraying the same thing. Even though it was also one of the most reliable cars on British roads. I've had one since 1990!

Try the location circled in the pic. If you have the same engine. There should be a plate in the RIght hand turret the number maybe stamped there.

Excellent. Ready for a few more years motoring!

15x7 alloys are available from wheel specialists for the Micra. The ones I've seen are et30 or more. Best to Check with the supplier to make sure.

New update: Passed MOT on Wednesday with a clean sheet again ?.

Hi Antifreeze is available ready mixed as well as neat. If using neat it will tell you on the bottle the antifreeze to water ratio, often 50/50.

It has a 4 speed box. If it shifted 3 times from moving off it would indicate going into 4th as would already been in 1st gear. Check your gearbox oil level and also have a search through the forum as there are a few posts on K12 auto box problems.

Keep us posted. It will be beneficial to see what the outcome is.

Did you coat the new piston and seals with fresh brake fluid before installing? Red brake grease is ideal for caliper and cylinder reassembly.

I used 20swg steel, approx. 1mm thick. I used a vice and a mallet to put the folds in. Pic 1 shows the first small hole. After tapping the sill with a hammer you can see the extent of the rust. I then cut out with an angle grinder, then made the plates. A good coat of waxoyl or similar may be...

Once you pump and get a firm pedal if you hold it does the pedal slowly sink? If it doesn't sink there is probably air in the system. If it does slowly go down there is probably a leak. Recheck the calipers for leaks, I've never had success in replacing the seals thay always leak!! Also check...

Brake fluid being hydroscopic can corrode the internals. One of the reasons why car manufacturers recommend changing every 2 years. Hopefully your all sorted for a few more years.

This sound more like a sticking caliper piston. When fitting the new pads did the pistons push in easily? If it took effort then its time to replace both calipers.

With MOT due in 4 weeks time decided it was time to give the K11 a service. Found the rear brake cylinders were leaking and 1 piston was seized. I put some masking tape on the shoes to protect them. Next was to unbolt from the backplate 2 x 8mm bolts and remove the link pipe 11mm. The union on...

Hi 80 l/h is around 17gallons. So if you can imagine driving flat out for 1 hour you definitely won't use 17 gallons of fuel. If the new pump fits the same I can't see a problem. As you say it will cost more to send back so all you can do is fit it and try.

I have a pair bought from the 'bay' about 4 years ago and they seem fine.
