its fixed now. Heater matrix bottom hose had a tiny hole in it Replaced both hoses refilled coolant/water topped up oil. = about half way up the gauge once warmed :) Came to conclusion that 'mystery' pipe was some kind of oil breather

Can somebody tell me what the pipe going from the cylinder head to the intake manifold is? (MA10) this was the one that was leaking the other night :s , it was only half on (manifold side) the connection has oil in, but im quite sure it wasnt oil spraying out :s the haynes manual shows this...

Thanks alot for the advice guys, yeah when i first saw it rising my heart really sank, but being greeted with a dodgy hose actually made me a bit relieved lol. Yeah i topped it up with some readymixed anti-freeze that i had in the boot (Y)

i took the car out this morning (probably in negative degrees overnight) Noticed the temp was higher than normal. Noticed that coolant was a tad low so topped it up to the max line (on the expansion tank, hot engine). Seemed fined for about 30ish miles (normal temps) then i stopped for a...

Do you have a after market Head unit?, my sony one does it to remind you its still there in case you leave it on for thieving #######s

Start out with a good full service, new fluids, new filters, new belts, ignition parts. Then id say concentrate on suspension and handling, as the micra in general really gains from up-rated suspension. Then if your wallet is still feeling full after that, start investigating inlet/exhaust as...

No Problem, what this place is for :)

i personally didnt do it, and its been fine

i want.

at least it didnt land on the ground... might have made a mess of your lovely driveway ;) ah well, things like this just make you learn. and i know what you mean, after you do something a million (maybe more on a renault) you can get a bit complacent, but safety first (lol)

well the LX has the clock i believe. if that is correct the this guide applies:

i believe you run it off the negative terminal (if my memory serves me correct) be very careful when tightening the bolt as its only made out of brass, i broke mine and had to buy another coil (lmao) i just tightened with my fingers. (on the new one, used a spanner on the old one lol)

actually mate, do you have a ls (just speedo) (what i assumed) or a higher spec with the clock? (if this then its even easier)

well you can find all the wire colours in the haynes, but i used the voltmeter just to confirm it. to take the wires out of the plugs ( yeah its the same plugs physically, but the wires are in different locations ) you need to bend the flaps up (you will see what i mean) and use something (a...

tape around the bit you need to drill (a strong tape) then just drill it using a very low pressure and plenty of lube (just spray wd-40 at it as it drills)

you can get a k10 standard radio (with fm) , i guess the best bet is to look at scrapped cars, or ask peeps who replaced their k10 stereo

i guess your best bet would be off a scrapped car.

aww it was a while ago since i did that, what i did was followed this i then worked out what each wire in the LS did using haynes wiring diagrams and a voltmeter. if i can find it (it should be in the glove box) ill scan the wire/colour refrence i made sorry i cant be of more immediate...

How are the spark plugs?

aww man..... hope things start looking up for you soon
