Bought a new k11

Yerp thermostat

 

[Paul Smith]

I'll grab a new one this week and test the old one

 

[eiregti]

Yeah If I were to guess I'd say thermostat too. Can be had for much cheapness on ebay

That's cool I got a trade account with motor parts direct. But will change it out

 

[eiregti]

That's handy! Trade discount would be a nice bonus doing all the work on the families cars but no such luck last I checked they were €6 with delivery. Don't know what the quality but at that price it's always worth a stab

I'll try stabbing but probably best just to replace lol

 

[Paul Smith]

Zazee would need a facelift set

Do you have a link to the ebay set? Thanks

 

[Paul Smith]

Ok looking to the right of the steering column is a grey rectangle box with two connectors? Is that for central locking. Not seeing any black box

Hello Paul. Don't know how to do that bud, but if you put in a search under micra clocks you'll see the speedo there.

 

[Paul Smith]

Ok some updates the central locking issue is due to a worn door lock so was unable to fix today but will sort out once I've had a think.
Fitted the washer bottle cap. Thank you davyboy.
fitted the new thermostat as the last was stuck open.
Found the oil return pipe to be gunked up so cleared that.
fitted some new bulbs behind the dials.
That's about it today

 

[Paul Smith]

What I have noticed is the windscreen wipers aren't working as they should on the first setting. They are Ok sometimes but sometimes don't wipe for 5 mins nor do they wipe when the washer jets are used.
What do we think motor? Or stalk?

Is that a straight swap?! Does anyone here know if they will fit a 1.0l pre-facelift I wonder??

 

[Paul Smith]

Straight swap. All models except the L have the necessary loom for the rev count to work straight away iirc

 

[Paul Smith]

Mine went in a pre face as it doesn't have the digital mileometer
