    Control arm, why a larger hole in rear bushing?

    Just noticed on my k13 the control arm has a bushing larger than the bolt. Surely if this moves it will knock the alignment off. What is the purpose of having a hole larger than the bolt?

    what did you do to your micra today ?

    Fitted nearside track rod end to the k13. The new one is a Moog bought from fleabay, bought two, but the boxes came with broken seals and they look thinner than the originals. I wonder if they are fakes.

    what did you do to your micra today ?

    My K13, Replaced driver's side control arm, part Borg and Beck BCA7132, seems like a crappy control arm, let's see. The old arm came out easy with a small pry bar and lots of water trapped inside the rear bushing where the bolt sits.. What a crap design. Two hours to get the front bush in...

    Passenger side electric window stopped working

    I had that problem. In my case, a small spring inside had dislodged and was jamming the switch. I just removed the spring and the window works now without the spring. Or, you could try a new switch, about £5 on fleabay or try your local car breaker.

    Obd power memory savers

    I think you can but people go wrong when they plug the memory saver into the obd and then accidentally let the crocodile clips touch each other. Update: After trying it myself, it didn't work. I used this bluepoint one: I connected it to the obd port and used a small 12v battery as the...

    Passenger electric window switch not working [solved]

    The passenger electric window stopped working. I completely disassembled the switch and cleaned it, but in the process I noticed a small spring inside. I could not figure out where it came from, so I tried it without the spring and it's working great. I think the spring was snagging the...

    Average miles per gallon display eratic after battery change

    I'm just getting used a k13 after having a k11. The average miles per gallon was showing a steady 40mpg, but I changed the battery yesterday and it went to zero and now it's changing frequently, showing 60mpg, then 24mpg and then zero when stopping the car. Is this just the ECU learning again...

    Be careful with this newer type of bosch battery S4001 S4 063

    I got this battery for my k13 and it's much lighter and cheaper in construction than my previous bosch batteries. Notice where the handle folds down. Normally there is a square plastic bit there that makes it hard to accidentally connect a spanner across the terminals. Now that the plastic...

    Lower front arms

    Can I have the link to the source. My lower front arms were advisories during the last MOT. I'd rather by bushes than the whole arm.

    Saying goodbye to my K11.

    I'll be going over the k13 I got recently with a fine tooth comb. Yes, carpets can be damp for years due to a small leak somewhere and you only know about it when a rotten hole appears underneath.
