Tie clips are fine for the larger side of the bellows that attach to the steering rack itself ( I have used the same on mine), however on the smaller part that covers the inner rod, then I would recommend Mikalor Spring Hose Clips. With the suspension strut connecting to the steering knuckle I...

The space to check and replace these bushes is very limited with the subframe in place, and I would not recommend you attempting lowering the subframe alone. Best to concentrate on the one job at a time and see how you go. My experience is wait untill you need to change the subframe bushes...

The aftercooler (intercoolers are used between the engines cylinders on a rotary engines on planes, hence the word intercoolers). the after cooler is model specific to the model due to the lack of space, first is the engine radiator then comes the air con radiator and infront of all of them...

The sports diesel is a turbo charged beauty, hence its needs a intercooler to cooled the forced air from the turbo as this is driven by exhaust gasses which heats up the air and is no good for efficient combustion.I have toyed with aftermarket intercoolers which are more cost effective, but as i...

I usually spend a few hours sourcing my spares from various sources both here in the UK and abroad, It pays to shop around and also shop by part number and then cross check and seach again using the item description , it can be a huge difference in price sometimes, perserverence is the name of...

For the price its not worth revisiting the job later on if the bellows start to split, regards the inner track rods, they are tight for a reason, not through corrosion but they have to be tighter than the friction in spinning the rods to get the correct wheel alignment, otherwise the whole unit...

https://www.autodoc.co.uk/lemforder/7888951 Not a bad price for new bellows.

What you may find is the original inner track rod end may have no hexaganal part to the end (Mapco should have this hex on it) so it will need a tool that will grip with teeth to enable a suitable grip in the part that screws into the rack rod. DO NOT HEAT UP THIS PART AS IT IS AFFIXED TO THE...

Tool looks ok, remember the inner rods will be tight. I have recently removed my rack for a complete refurbishment, as I had removed lower sub frame to renew the bushes with was causing a banging sound from the passenger side, but turned out to be drivers(RH side) which was U/s so must have been...

could be an air valve mix actuator or sticking flaps, I cannot tell from your description if the air con is manual control or climate control (Automatic) which if it is the latter is controlled its soley by it's own circuitry?

I have seen this roof rack on ebay, not cheap but are for the 3 door micra, I may get one myself for my long journey to Spain in september. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133884083238

I would check the Auto box fluid level, this is typical of low fluid either from a seal leak or maybe the gearbox needs flushing and refilling with fresh hydraulic fluid, these gearboxes tend to be overlooked when serviced.:unsure:

Check the power at the motor contacts at same time as pressing the window button to check if voltage is reaching the motor, if so, look for a replacement, or if no voltage check for broken wires from the switch to the motor?:unsure:

I cannot see a major problem, once the battery is removed, fuses and relays generally don't require coding only electrical devices that are plugged into the cars cpu will need this, dont forget to photo your progress to refer back if you get stuck.

10,000 Km (6200 miles) is not the distance that you generally require a pollen filter change unless you live in the part of the world that warrants it! how long in time has it been since the change? generally when servicing any parts of the car it is usually on mileage or time lapse since the...

Don't rely on error codes all the time, I had no error faults and engine was hard to start when cold, but 3 of the 4 glow plugs were burnt out, also alternator was not charging battery fully. the E10 fuel can also cause starting and stalling issues.

I think you are refering to a petrol version when you mention a timing chain, there was an early fault with low tensile chain links fitted to some models which stretched, and can show up as a crank sensor fault, first change your spark plugs and air filter and put a benzine additive in to the...

Personal choice and again the condition of the vehicles both in terms of body/engine and also maintenance history is a good way to go, for smiles all round the Sr160 will win over, but again Condition is paramount or you will be buying a money pit and the inconvenience of sorting out. Average...

The lid on the fuse box containes all the fuses and holders the lower part is just a box to seal the fuses from the elements, It should be a straight forward job but take photos of the parts and wires as you dismantle to help with installation.:unsure:

I have found a k12 micra sat-nav with air vent surround so should be a good replacement to upgrade. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393865964746
