I managed to get the car locking again! It seems the drivers lock cylinder is very knackered (the spring is floating free!), but at least I can lock and unlock the car again. Has anyone ever rebuilt one of these? 51 plate 1.0 Sport 5 door.

wheel bearings, shocks, brake pads/shoes/discs/drums should always be replaced in pairs, in my opinion.

The holes on the steering wheel don't quite match up with the holes on the boss. I knew Mountney M wheels were different because the specific bosses come in at nearly £60; now I know why :/

*blows dust off thread* I have a 2001 Micra: It has the later TB without the Waxstat. I gather it's less reliable than the earlier one. Should I just get a GE16 TB to replace the iffy stocker?

If it fits a Sunny it will fit a Micra. I have a boss here that doesn't fit my Mountney M.

Not yet, no. It could be the clutch not releasing properly, so I have to live with it til I can get the dosh for a new clutch :/

That's some extreme Ratting ;)

My first car was a Ford Anglia, followed by a 1967 Volvo 164 and then a 1973 Volvo 164E, which was the fist car I drove with a full driving license (that was in the days when they were 150 quid with MOT & Tax. Try finding one less than 2K as a restoration project now!!)

"First of all: Remember to make sure you're parked and the handbrake is on, because NOTHING cools the ardour of the intended like rolling into a river!"

"BERT! There's a bloke 'ere that won't haggle!" "Won't Haggle??" *Crap Monty Python Reference*

Or perhaps "Ungrateful Turd"?

I copped out and got a mate to do my rear brakes for me. I'm bloody glad I did, too: It took him nearly three hours! Probably not helped by the state of the old shoes: These were "New" about 18 months ago. I know this because I know the history of the car for the last 4 years, so they must...

Why does it say "Saxo", by the way? According to the numbers I'm getting Saxo are 4x108!

The stud pattern is the same, but as Jen319 says the centre bores will be too small, so you'd need to machine/grind/dremmel the bores for them to fit.

What are they from? See if they would fit by comparison of the numbers on this site: http://www.wheelfitment.eu/ . That should help.

Are they 13" or 14"? If they're 14" I'll have them. Will you be near Hertford anytime soon?

I wonder what the spare nozzle is for, though?

Wot He said!!

Had a closer look under the bonnet: Eh up, what's THIS? And THIS..... ... seems to come from the gearbox!

Yes, that's what I mean. I'm getting confused in my old age....
