Yay got it off, thanks for the advice Frank. Shoved a chisel as far as I could and kicked the box off!

Hi all, I'm changing a clutch on my 2000 1L micra and have been battling this gearbox for the past 40 minutes. I've drained the oil, both shafts out, starter out both mounts disconnected and took off what I think is all the bolts (2 on top, 1 front, 2 from support arms have snapped off and 3...

Thinking of selling mine. Passed my practical test on the 17th November. With cheapest black box insurance being £5000 it isn't something that is affordable at the moment. So unless I win a lottery I'll have to wait until I finish university to pay for my insurance XD Sent from my Blade S6...

Super glue needs a gardener to cure. In 2 part epoxy one is glue and another is hardener. In superglue the hardener is CO2 found in air. If you add baking soda it will add donor COx to help hardening. Also epoxy can cure in a shape. But superglue will only cure on the outside of a blob, where...

The stock "bolts" more like screws drove me insane. Spent a while day yesterday taking them off. Wish I had a blowtorch [emoji1] In the end snapped one bolt, tried drilling through so I could have a new bolt through into a nut at the bottom... FAIL Didn't help that the eBay bolts were...

And I will be repainting the intake, this time with primer. Sent from my Blade S6 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

Finally finished with painting the exhaust Cam cover battery case and various other rusted bits. Now wasting petrol waiting for the paint to cure. Sent from my Blade S6 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

Cheers, will be the first thing to try in the morning.

So what you are saying is that there are no threads in the cover? Just the head? Thanks for a reply by the way.

I started a rust repair/renovation of my engine bay yesterday. Removed and painted the exhaust manifold, battery case, metal brackets for throttle cable, lambda sensor. Painted the intake and the air box. Run into the issue of stripping Phillips screws on the cam cover, so added a few drops of...

Yeah the 4x108 would not fit (I think). Never heard of adaptors for wheels, how would they work? Do you replace the whole hub or what? Also because they aren't 4x100 and because they are from a Ford, I wouldn't think that they are the ones we are looking for. Any pictures?

Don't see a reason why they shouldn't. There were no changes to the body of the car. I'm not sure if pre-facelift has mounting holes for the electric motor, might have to make some for the rivets. Also why not just buy electric window conversion kit? Those are easier to install and work a treat.

Hopefully I'm not too late, I will gladly buy them if they are still available.

Wheels Inmotion are based in Burminghamshire just found out

I got a quote from Merityre for £70 for all 4 wheel alignment + balance check for free. They offer a Membership card that when you get first time gets you a discount and after that you collect points or something, don't know, last time we used Merityre was in January. Halfords does front wheel...
