Well my trusty little K11 of ten years service has failed an MOT on a rusty front cross member and I've just had to SORN it while I look at repairing it myself. But I don't really know how. I know I can buy both lower cross members and full radiator support panels. However, I don't know one...

Don't buy this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/94PC-1-2-1...item4aa40f5d8b I was contemplating it for a while - I liked the look of the wall-drive style of the sockets. However, what I received wasn't what was illustrated (that main pic was changed after I'd bought it and is accurate, but the...

Don't buy that!!!!!! I just bought one of those - I think they've just changed the product to something slightly different. It was cheese. Badly made, badly moulded, badly finished, malfunctioning cheese. Just sent straight back for a full refund, never even made it as far as the garage. DO...

Yep, I think I'm just delaying the inevitable. 25mm jubilee clip isn't it?

Went to change coolant today, but found the bottom radiator hose clip rusted solid. The Haynes manual hints at the possibility of draining the coolant out of the engine block directly, but doesn't say where... There's a sort of flap retained with a phillips screw at the bottom of the...

My bad - simple timing issue... Ok, anyone who stumbles on this thread with the same problem - in my case I had merely not set the timing properly. I had read the timing marks the wrong way round! Here's the correct sequence to time the car. Engine off: Loosen dizzy bolts disconnect...

I'm very, very sorry HuMpH! I've got my car fixed. I really sorry HuMpH - the advice I gave you was wrong. The yellow mark on the pulley indicates TOP DEAD CENTRE not the ideal timing advance. The Haynes manual is a little ambiguous and I was reading the marks the wrong way round. Do as...

Hi Humph, I hope i'm not stating the obvious here but the sequence I went through to time the car was: Engine off: Loosen dizzy bolts disconnect TPS, attach timing light to ignition cable 1 (nearest timing chain on left of engine) Check all electrical ancillaries are switched off...

How likely is it for these symptoms to be caused by ECU failure? Grasping at straws a bit here......!

Blimey, I had no idea you could get the entire thing like that! The K11 has a water trap at the bottom of that front panel, which rusts. Happens to most, certainly happened to mine. Nissan charge about £350 for the repair. I had a local garage weld and underseal it for £115. Yes, your...

Thanks for the link to Humph's troubles, Frank. I'll keep an eye on that thread and see if there are any developments. I've also found a thread by SuluR who seems to have had very similar problems to mine, so I've asked him for an update. I reinstalled the TB this afternoon and went for a...

Hello SuluR, Did you ever manage to resolve your power-loss problem? It sounds very similar to mine.... I've also been through throttle body/dizzy and found nothing. My current prime suspect is fuel supply - possibly a blocked fuel strainer in the tank. Thanks, Neil

Ah yeah, good point. I need to run another diagnostic test. I have run one previously (since replacing the dizzy) and its shown no fault codes, though... I'm kinda thinking it might be fuel starvation - so either a weak fuel-pump or (I hope!) a blocked fuel strainer. It would be consistent...

still no joy and sixty quid poorer... Sent off the unit to ECU testing only for them to inform me that the throttle body is fully-functioning. Unfortunately, that meant I had to stump up their extortionate 'testing' fee - £35 PLUS VAT PLUS POSTAGE, totalling about £51 and on top of that the £11...

Many thanks for the recommendation on ecu-testing. It seems my throttle body is a slightly obscure type - I guess possibly because its one of the later models before the facelift was re-facelifted and converted to the bosch-type throttle bodies. Whichever way, ecu-testing can't send a...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, but I've owned my plucky little K11 for six years! Unfortunately, after serving my family for nearly eight years, its stopped working. The dizzy failed and has been replaced with a new part from autojapspares.co.uk but the car is still very much down on...
