    Yes it's probably been done to death

    My Micra is diesel, but my other cars are Petrol Suzuki's, as soon as this E10 crap was introduced is obvious that you will get lower power and MPG from this crap, e.g for paying full price at the pump (which is about 77% tax anyway) you only get 90% petrol, So I use a benzine mix which...

    Nissan Micra K12 C+C Driver's door lock

    Glad, we all have to go that extra mile sometimes to source parts we need, but I personally think, the Micra's are worth keeping going. looking at modern stuff, when you factor in the maintenance costs of these technical marvels they are not worth the grief, just try pricing up LED headlights...

    Idler Belt pulley for alternator

    Check the direction of the pulley as if the direction is anti-clockwise then it may be the bolt is a left hand thread! ( so the bolt tends to keep tight when under rotational stress) similar concept to one of the pedals on a push bike which is left hand thread. Also a heat gun is too broad a...

    Idler Belt pulley for alternator

    The pulley head can be replaced quite easily, this includes a new bearing pressed into the pulley wheel, as this part takes the most load and movement, this should be ok to renew for now, the auto tensioner is quite sturdy and designed for long service, when you remove the pully head spray some...

    E10 in a K12

    I use a 200Ml bottle and put it in the tank and put 20 Litres of E10 in the tank, or you can use 100Ml bottle and put 10 Litres of fuel in Etc. Once this additive gets to work after a good run, you will have cleaned most of the internal gum and tarnish from the injectors and carbon from top of...

    E10 in a K12

    My Micra is Diesel, however my suzuki's run on petrol and I use an additive to offset the ethanol dilution of the petrol at the pumps. uk E10 is 95 octane and super unleaded is 97 octane but still at E 5 ethanol blend. so really it's a choice. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143968792842
