Yeah i know i had to cut and grind the bolt flush with the upper mounts and slowly prise them apart to get the rod out. I was swapping everything out though so i wasn't too fussed with how i got it out :D I can say nearly 100% the lower sleeve with be rusted solid but once you've got the upper...

Panhard rod : A blow torch + mole grips + angle grinder + swearing = usually more swearing but eventually it'll come off. Chances are the metal sleeve that's in the lower bush (maybe also the upper if you're having trouble getting it out) will have rusted itself stuck. Just carefully remove...

I believe all the manual linkages are the same, can't think of any reason they'd have altered them. We need more sc k11's about :D

Whole building was up in flames and the firefighters worked tirelessly trying to save the micra. Good lads lol. :D

That's a good point actually, easy to spot in the engine bay if that' where its coming from :)

Yeah it'll be that if you've put as much as possible in. Swapping it over for a new one isn't very hard to do providing you can source a decent condition one to start with. Depending how bad the corrosion is you could also be loosing some when you're filling up. It is a common fault though. :)

As its dripping from the fuel filler / breather pipe i'd be giving it a good look over. If its a fuel leak you wanna sort it asap. :)

Only external pipes on the passenger side are fuel and brake fluid. There can be leaks inside the car from the matrix if it starts to leak, but you'd notice that inside.

Good to know it wasn't anything more serious / time consuming.

If there is i didn't notice it before :D You could start at the jet end and pop off the connection, you might not need to go too deep into it before you fix it.

Not today, but fairly recently I, drum roll please....washed the car lol (figured its been sitting there for a few years so it deserved a clean). Probably a bad idea tbh as i'm now trying to decide if to put it back on the road... :confused:

Actually thinking about it iirc the holes i used for access were also the spoiler mount bolt access holes. So failing that the larger grommets for the heated rear window or the really small grommets should get you where you need. Tbh i'd usually just start taking bits off until i found what i...

There are little oval grommets in the corners of the boot lid removing those will get you to the pipe. Still not a lot of room to work but its enough to jiggle things. :) If its popped off the washer jet, which is most probably whats happened as they can block up if not used for a while. You...

Best advice i'd say is to practice on spare pieces of metal the same thickness before you start on the car. You'll know almost immediately when you've got it right (verifying with the online resources as you go). The last thing you want, is to have to redo your old work because you're no longer...

K11 one's might fit with tinkering...but can't recall ever seeing clear k10 lenses.

Iirc the only place i've seen "official" ones are in Japan. Failing that its customising time.

I'm from the 80's and hell i'm still a kid now lol. I seem to remember Eerie Indiana...

lol, i wouldn't mind getting the micra back out its been sitting around for a few years now doing nothing.

Welcome back Antony...indeed its been awhile. Guess i've been absent for a bit as well as only now reading this do i know frank has sold it :o

I would reckon the oil in the spark plug tube will have come from a failed oil seal that goes around the spark plug tubes. (glued into cam cover). Provided yours has a distributor and is not coil pack. Its probably the distributor. Though as its easy to do, you may as well check the fuses.
