I would refill a measured oil quantity to capacity gear box in situ via the speedo drive port or the expansion vent port & simply side step messing about with the level plug as it’s on the side with limited access & an oil pump is required to pump the oil in. That’s what I had to suggest at a...

Covid shutdown means no income to pay wages & business costs except UK Government loans adding to the businesses debt pile. Most businesses operate on a very tight competitive two or three per cent profit margin. 2% of £30M gross income is only £600K annual profit. Therefore: £600K divided by...

Quote: “I'd agree if I wasn't still stuck in work” Be careful what you wish for, stay healthy, keep working & pull together to keep your business/employer going for as long as you can as many lockdown shutdown businesses will be unable to start up again. The life blood fuel & lubricant of any...

Always look on the bright side of life? £400 tuning would triple the value of a 28 year old K11! When you’re chewing on life’s gristle, give a whistle. :rolleyes: Reference;

Don’t Worry be Happy! We are genuinely all in this together, rich man & poor man & details like MOTs & how fast the Micra goes hardly matter now. Staying healthy is what really matters, for many more days out & about when the Sun is out. Long may they continue. ;)

The Mrs & I were out & about when the Sun is out in the K11, off out to the Dartmoor National Park hills for a picnic & a leisurely walk around the Trent & Toterford reservoirs for our lockdown daily exercise routine allocation. Use it or lose it under lockdown & enjoy the fabulous weather...

I have recently bought a set of four NGK BKR5E from the local, Exeter UK, trade parts suppliers for £6 approx inspected error free over the counter & needless to say all were present, correct, Bristol fashion & no risk of lost in postal/delivery damage! That’s cheap as chips, immediately...

Quote: “Nissan rotor and cap are made for 50k miles” I have had three K10s running fine on165K miles plus when I sold them on with the original Nissan OEM ignition parts, no problems just a bi-annual check & clean up. They just keep on rolling along by avoiding cheap fake branded after...

Doubled the 1998 Micras value as the Mrs filled it with a £250 shed load of shopping including the new Crypto currency to die for; - Bog Rolls! Shopping madness if you can’t beat em, we joined em. Happy K11 Micra days. :cool:

Quote: “it shines so nicely and is purple”! Purple shine won’t pay the CVT failure bills? Known & Unknown unknowns are likely to surface when you put a CVT back into normal use after 24 years laid up year after year doing nothing apart from the annual outing for MOT & service mileage? Either...

Quote: “pumping em all to 3bars made it soo much better, sharper, stable & pointing straight with no more high speed wiggling”??? More to the point, 45psi is too high & a Micra, on wide fatties, is likely to spin off the road when cornering in the wet? An unnecessary risk too far on the...

Because it’s become a life’s work & is working on it replacing or repairing everything bit by bit & simply has not got to every little bit yet? :cool:

Should the 1996 K11 CVT have a textile braced rubber belt, as implied above, then it would be perished well passed its replacement date? I think that modern CVTs have steel drive bands but that may or may not apply to a 1996 vintage K11? The vehicle maybe rare but a quick K11 CVT search...

One way to find the ultimate permanent rev limiter when the pistons & con rods crash out through the blockhead for a cheap thrill? All about Blockheads :cool:

Yes, that’s all in Haynes Manual if you are manual work hands on handy, have a tool kit & are ready to get deep down & dirty? :unsure:

Quote: “I am looking for 5000 euros” for a K11? The Secret Life of Walter Mitty beautiful dreamer wants 5000 euros/£ 1.13 = £4500 approx for a K11? He’s having a giraffe taking the Mick at the MSC members expense. :eek:

Wow. I cannot imagine how you managed to get through four back boxes in sequence on an old K11? My K11 is in its 23 year & still on its all original Nissan exhaust together with all original engine/transmission/suspension/running gear, only consumable service parts have been changed during its...

Your visual distress reminds me of my once & only arc eye that was nearly forty years ago & had largely forgotten the pain intensity & stress. I do remember the extreme light sensitivity that I could not bear to see the brake lights of the vehicles in front on the way to the A & E at night. I...

When I was a young electrical trainee technician I got a speck of metal swarth on my cornea sclera while hole cutting. Some years later I got arc eye just walking through a structural steel fabrication workshop. In both cases, after medical attention I made a full recovery, as you will. I...

One of these would keep the scrotes at bay...
