The latch on my K12 Micra glove box has broken so I need a replacement door for it. Current door is black, but another colour wouldn't be a problem as I can respray it....

I've been tidying the engine bay, and realised that it was being let down by a lot of dirty/rusty headed bolts....... I bought some M6 stainless bolts (20mm and 25mm) and washers and swapped them out one at a time. I've got a few more to do as some are quite short so have ordered a some more...

Is there any software readily available that can be used to modify ECU settings on the K12 1.2? Specifically I would like to get the rev limiter changed from the current 6.5K revs to 7K.....Fed up with it cutting in when the engine is still pulling like a train!

Finally got round to fitting a charging port to the K12 today. I got this for the princely sum of £2.99 from an ebay seller in the Phillipines. It arrived today (after only a couple of weeks) so fitted it straight away. :cool: The lower dash panel to the right of the steering wheel had a spare...

While aimlessly wandering around' The Net' a few weeks ago I stumbled on a Youtube video showing how to chemically strip chrome from plastic car parts. The guy that posted it was doing things on a fairly large scale as he had a plastic under bed storage box, with a complete car grill in the...

While trying to finally sort an intermittent connection in a rear light connector that causes the reversing light to not always work I managed to momentarily short the rear light bulb connector, which of course blew the fuse, so no N/S front and rear sidelights. No problem I thought, got plenty...

When I saw the symetrical12SR rear lights (no red glass for the fog light) on Paapz0r's K12 :- I decided that some how or other I needed them on my car! :D Well buying a set of genuine 12SR lights from Japan was the 'easy' way but the potential cost put me off straight away. The next...

For those who are not aware, 'Carparts4less' is 'Eurocarparts' on-line only subsidiary. They are always cheaper than Eurocarparts for the same items and deliver free by DHL. This weekend they are having their biggest ever discount event, see HERE for details.... To get the complete selection of...

THIS will be exceedingly quick, and given that the Saab B204 engine can produce 300+ bhp with a remap and a turbo change.........(go above that and it will eat gearboxes though :oops:)

As the thread title says, an even older friend and I fitted the original 160 SR springs that I got from Callum, along with a pair of Koni STR rear shock absorbers and at the same time I fitted a pair of hub centric 20mm rear wheel spacers. Changing the rear springs and dampers is really quick...

Not sure who else on here hosts their images via Photo****it, but I've just received an email from them telling me that if I want to keep 3rd party linking to images I need to 'upgrade' to a 'Plus500' account. What they fail to point out is this will cost a mere $399 annually!:mad: It looks that...

I can't be alone in thinking that a little extra performance could be squeezed out of the non 1.6 or diesel engined cars if the engine could breath better. Not wanting mind numbing induction roar I steered away from open air filters, (though in hindsight, what I have finally come up with could...

Just tidied up the Micra today, gave it a wash and polish;) A 'before' (when bought) of the under bonnet and 'after' (today) .......

Has anyone tried using Vauxhall Corsa 'C' springs to lower a Micra K12? They appear top be physically identical, but just a bit shorter than the Micra springs........... Corsa C rears shown below.

Hi all, while it's no great effort to look up and provide radio codes for people on here, I am noticing an increasing trend that people sign up to MSC and their first post is not an 'I am and my car is' introductory post but an 'I need a radio code'. More often as not, having got it we never...

Hi, I already have the side window screens but now want the rear (tailgate) window screen. The Nissan part number is 99998-88003... John.....

Anybody on here, who has uprated their standard rear suspension parts on a K12 SR 1.6, got a set of the original SR 1.6/160 rear springs (purple NOT blue) and rear shocks for sale?

When I bought my K12 Sport+ a few months ago it came with a set of tyres with a good tread depth less than half worn on the back but the front tyres were getting nearer the wear limit indicators. A bit more of an inspection showed that the front nearside one had been clouted on the inside wall...

Does anyone on here know how to set the volume that the Traffic Announcements come up at? The current preset level is very low, almost inaudible. I can turn it up using either the rotary knob on the unit or the volume button on the steering wheel, but it reverts back to the low setting the...

Anyone else on here positively hate the white 'Belling Cooker' heater control knobs? I think it must be a 'Marmite' thing, but I really think they look awful. Found this on ebay, for the princely sum of £9.99 including carriage Now that's better (the knobs just pull off and can be...
