Drain by removing the lower radiator hose (and the lower hose on the engine if you want to be sure you got it all out). reattach the hoses once it's drained Filling with water is an optional step, some people do use water. Some people put the radiator flush in with the old coolant and run it...

I wouldn't know how to fix that, but if you were a dodgy used car salesman that sounds like a dream 1989 would probably still have the cable type odometer, and I would guess that something has broken between the 1/10ths wheel and the kilometer wheel. The old analogue counters just used a bit of...

Take it to another (less posh) garage It's quite a well known issue on K11's and most people who have had a problem like that one take it to a garage and they suggest that is the issue and know how to do it the same day in-house. Even when I've taken mine in for an MOT I usually ask how much...

my understanding is that it's something to do with a sudden increase in oil pressure that causes it rather than something that develops over time I've had the same thing with distributors though - car drove fine one day, got me home, go to start it the next day and nothing. And then one time it...

I wish I knew, probably one of the old suzuki swifts or something, those were fairly tidy looking. That or a Nissan Juke. They are absolutely everywhere these past 5 years there will be no end of spare parts for them in a few years

The best method now that photos are digital and cameras are cheap, is just take as many photos as you can while you're fixing something so you can refer back to it if you forget where something went Even better, take a video. Lots of the car restoring channels on youtube refer back to their own...

the above answer is likely the case here is a guide i wrote to fixing it https://www.micra.org.uk/threads/guide-to-fixing-the-headlight-wiring-plug-issue.71266/

hard to say without knowing dimensions or how many pins or any markings on the other side Those components with the numbers on are SMD resistors though so whatever it is it's probably a different voltage to 12v

Looking good, blue looks the part Not sure about the heater, I know how to replace the card when the blower stops working but that's about it

I've heard of people putting glass lights in the oven to soften the glue holding the front and back together, that's for painting the inserts not the moisture issue though - they can take some heat as long as it's gradual Hopefully it will just evaporate out of there on it's own, but the bulb...

I've always wanted to do this, but the problem stopping me is I live pretty much at the half-way point, it would feel strange to drive all the way up, and then back down on the same road, and then to pass my house, continue south, then come back up again I suppose I could always get it towed...

There's been a fly in my light for at least the last 10 years, maybe longer, perfectly preserved in amber If the bulbs are incandescent, put a brick on your brake pedal for an hour and it'll probably heat up and evaporate past the seal. If not, you could take it off, take the bulbs out of the...

That looks 10x better than I thought it would, the logo even looks 3D Totally getting one of those, which one did you get and how big of a drillbit do I need?

If the voltages match I can't see why not, check it with a multimeter if you can to make sure there are no resistors anywhere and do something to avoid a short if there will be no insulating plastics Holders make it all a bit easier and more convenient but as long as there's space underneath to...

and any one off amazon/ebay should be fine, the bulbs themselves come pre-manufactured so it's just the quality of the connections. Don't fork out for Halfords ones or anything like that they won't be any brighter

It's hard to tell from the picture, but that's either a 3mm or 5mm "t5 dashboard LED" in a bulb holder, or a "grain of rice" bulb Is it glued in there or can you pull the bulb out? If it comes out and looks like this you will have some markings on it to tell you what it is then it can be a...

You might be able to identify them by sight The two most common ones are 5050's and 3528's they might be mounted in some sort of holder

This is common, and eventually the boot release can stop working. This has happened on my mum's car I'm not sure why it happens but it shouldn't be a difficult/expensive issue to fix and some surface rust shouldn't stop you from buying the car if everything else is ok. Make sure the previous...

They're usually just general manuals for all the K11, even the haynes manuals have quite a wide range of car years that they cover. Not a lot of time is spent by manufacturers writing documentation for their products When the manufacturer updated the car, like the facelift k11 with the...

Looking good, I will be following this one
