For really crappy headlights wash them (rubbing alcohol works good) then use 400>600>1200>2000>2500 (all wet and alternating sanding direction with each grit) then use a cutting compound and finish with a uv protector so they don't go yellow again within a few months.

That doesn't sound right. Go back and complain :ROFLMAO: (unless theres something wrong with the car)

So all the brake pipes and flexi are finally in with thread sealer and I'm hoping the MOT guy doesn't mind that everythings just zip tied as I had no more clips... Ran out of long pipe too so theres two unions, touch wood they don't complain about those either.

You: I think I'm going to slow down with the micras Also you: I just bought another micra :ROFLMAO:

Advice? Return them and get the correct part...

This post hasn't seen a real update in 15 years and OP was last seen 9 years ago...

Note to self: "measure twice, cut once" is a rule for a reason.

hammeriting - Unless you're willing to not touch it for the full cure time, modern hammerite is best avoided for this type of thing.

You mean the £100+ kits that consist of a few zip ties, a filter and a bent pipe...? :p Do you mean getting the ecu tuned?

You mean like the DIY kits? You're basically just replacing the box with a pipe. On these cars the benefit is pretty much just a sound change, I doubt you'd see a noticeable difference even with a shielded high flow intake.

If the boots been totally gone for quite a while the joint is probably shot and a new boot would just hide that.

Depends what you want it for. If its pretty rust free and doesn't look like its been patched up then they do make the perfect run around. Suspension wise I'd say 80k + 17 years old will probably need replacing within the next 18 months or so. Mine only has half that mileage but will need done in...

Messy but rust treated and painted, will do for now. 2 brake pipes down, 3 to do tomorrow. Then I just need to find somewhere that sells pipe clips as they all cracked on removal.

Dude you should do Youtube videos on this stuff!

Should be the same as any other car. If there aren't any screws on the sides then it'll pop off using trim removers.

Cross threaded sump plug or knackered washer and or Incorrectly fitted filter.

Does wax seal work long term? The whole reason they go foggy is that the UV protection has worn out, don't you need to replace it with something UV resistant?

Hub puller if you can't remove it by hand.

If you've left them till they're almost opaque then what you're using won't work. You need to start on something with a lower grit than tcut and work your way up.
