I blinked and it was at 80, I wonder how quick that thing would do a 1/4 mile

Not sure if the water pump is on the same chain/belt as the timing chain but if it is, it's only a few extra steps If you have another way to get to work or wherever you need to go, there's no reason that with some persistence and a haynes manual and maybe some guide/tutorial videos from...

I did this many moons ago, masked it like you did but didn't trust myself to spray it on on the thin trim parts on the side so i ended up spraying the paint into the lid and painting it on by hand :ROFLMAO: It's amazing what a difference it makes

Good news, I hadn't considered the MOT thing but I guess we'll find out

You could wire it so that the switch is always closed? It wouldn't function to let you know that the belt is unlatched any more but that wouldn't stop you wearing one and pulling on it to make sure it's secure, in a little car especially I don't drive more than 10 feet without it on

I was going to suggest the stretched handbrake cable also, I can't think of any other reason someone would have their handbrake at 12 clicks otherwise, it would make no sense to set it like that even if they had done work on it it would be quickly obvious it was wrong. Perhaps in a car set up...

Never heard of anything like that before, you should be able to drive the car with the doors locked/unlocked or wide open if you wanted My best guess is that it's a ground fault or something has chewed through the wiring. The starter motor not making a sound is usually a dead starter, but since...

How plugged in was it? Like if half the pins were making contact I suppose in theory as long as those were the pins for NATS and the ignition system it could run in the basic limp mode - otherwise the car could be stolen by just unplugging it since then it would run without any keychip checks...

There are 6 relays to the right of the steering wheel under a little panel, above the fuses, one of these could be the motor relay but I'm not certain

I wouldn't have thought so, one user made a micra motorbike and he had the full loom including ECU on it

They're made out of zinc or something and so they don't rust.... however the screws that hold it on were made out of rust at the factory and only got rustier since Don't park on any long dry grass

from what I've seen they do twist or pull, they just take a fu*k load of grip and determination (and swearing) to do the first time There will be youtube videos of people getting them off left-handed to make you think you're soft or doing something wrong, but they've already had them off once...

Gearbox stuff tends to be expensive to fix at a garage because of the labor cost of getting it all out and back together, I think I would be intimidated trying to fix it on my own though too I'm just sort of putting up with mine at the minute and hoping it doesn't get any worse, don't think...

I am unsure what the issue is, but it does sound like a wear issue The 2nd paragraph, where you mention that you coast up to lights in neutral, do you mean from speed? As in you could be doing 40mph, clutch in, into neutral, clutch out, and at 3-4 mph then clutch in and changing to 1st? If so...

the solution seems to be to unlock the doors with the lit up button until it goes off, exit the car, and then lock the door manually from outside

This isn't about cars, I was watching it the other night strangely enough A lot of things we take for granted as being locked and secure don't seem to put up too much resistance to thieves, really I guess your best defence is cameras to identify the people so they can be caught, and trying to...

It's possible they may have forced the boot and climbed through as there is quite a big gap Not sure what you can do, my brother has had his car broken into twice - once they smashed both front windows and took little to nothing, just some coins and a set of basic phone headphones, smashed a...

I like those I have some regular steelies that have been painted matte black on mine

Do you have any way to detect if it's leaking gases? A blowing exhaust usually sounds quite distinct so if you can't hear it while it's running at high idle it's probably ok but better to be sure with emissions and everything

The videos aren't working for me If it works while open, but not while closed, is it possible the pipe is being crushed or kinked by the bonnet at some place?
