    Dash Lights

    The colour is due to the panel not the bulb, you could put blue bulbs in but all you will get is a faded orangy meh. new dials were availble back in the dim and distant, but I'm not sure you'd find anywhere now, so you'd be looking for someone to make you a custom set. doable but not cheap...

    Micra Urban Van.

    brake pipe is pretty much all one size unless you've got some weird american thing. 3/16". go with cuprinickle. should cost about a tenner for 25ft which is more than enough. you'll need a flaring kit. about 16 quid. no idea what size the ferrules are as I haven't looked but would assume...

    Micra Urban Van.

    There should be lateral play in the drive shaft, about 1-2mm. It's to allow the shaft to change length over the suspensions travel (which prescribes an arc not a straight line that isn't centred on the gearbox flange). Could be an inner cv that's fecked though, if its moving more than a few mm...

    Micra Urban Van.

    steer control works by pulling one of two wires to a common 5v ground at a specific resistance to provide a specific voltage. hence 3 wires, one is output at 5v the other two are pulled to ground through a resistor behind the button. it should be white, blue for sensor wires and black for 5v...

    Dot the big bottomed C+C

    Did the drop links this weekend. That means all front suspension bushes are now replaced. Next is a yearly service and MOT. I expect 3 to 4 advisories on that. As long as it passes or only fails on minor stuff next month I think parking sensors and rear shoes will be the order of the month.

    Micra Urban Van.

    the module is tiny. Smaller than a box of matches. I have one for running an arduino in the car (previous car it did a few clever bits around monitoring temps and random inputs to the head unit). dead easy to hide away. camera will only draw what it draws, so you'll be fine with 3a. I hate...

    Micra Urban Van.

    It's a basic capacitive dropper that takes 12v and drops it to 5v. assuming 5v output then it's drawing ~0.5amps at 12v (ohms law, this doesn't account for loses in the circuit, but they should be fairly marginal). you'll be fine on the light circuit. to be honest, it's well below the OBDII...

    Micra Urban Van.

    Radio has 2 live feeds. One is switched one is permanant live. It would forget its radio presets otherwise. Do not take a live feed from the OBD2 port, if you **** that up it can cause all sorts of issues as it feeds from the canbus. If you want a port to feed power back to the battery then run...

    Dot the big bottomed C+C

    Had to replace the drivers side wishbone. The bush fell out after a month. Whoops. Stripped the rear brakes and gave them a good clean up and service.

    Micra Urban Van.

    Find a permanent live (yellow behind the stereo i think, but can check wiring diagram later) and run a wire down to the lighter to replace the switched live. Only suitable for trickle charge from something like a solar panel, if you are charging at more than 500ma(ish) then put a connector on...

    Little bit off help in the right direction. lol

    leave the old girl be. :) ok maybe not. Brakes, suspension, engine in that order. turbo isn't worth it, basics like a good service, fresh oils and filters etc are. Only way to more power is engine swap, again, not worth it, tomany electronics to make it worthwhile. enjoy it for what it is, a...

    Is there 2 cats on the 1.6 petrol cc

    Tuned for it, straight pipe will need a full remap for any gains and emissions at the next MOT are going to be interesting. Look at the bore through the pipe, it's not bad in terms of breathing even with the cat. You can remap it to 120bhp easy enough, more requires a few mods. Not really...
