there easy as pie to service :D all i do is replace the oil filter, fuel filter, oil (and spark plugs dependent)

i do struggle to reach the oil filter though :S so i tend to leave it, i have 3brand new oil filters in a halfords bag in my shed that i brought for each service lol..

filters a piece of #### as long as you get your arm out of the way as you unscrew it, hot oil, ouch!

nah its not difficult on a micra, one of the easiest cars tbh.
It doesn't count as service history casue you cant prove it, but it does the same job!

Neither of you realise that the engine is supposed to be hot before draining oil then, when it is at its most viscous and will drain more out.

oh yeh, thats a very good point, oil is thicker when cool, so some will still be left behind

Tiny Update!

Tiny tiny update,

Changed the Red L.E.D that flashes when the ignotion is off, to a blue L.E.D.
Now...my bro thinks this will fail a M.O.T because he sais you cant have blue flashing lights/L.E.D'S inside a car, but it only flashes when the ignition is of...

Thoughts?

Cheers
 
no wont fail...the primera lads changed them to blue LED's over the standard red ones. and there in the passanger side of dash near windowscreen on primera's :)
 
oh right cool :)
Thought it would be a bit silly failing a m.o.t for something like that.

Thanks for that lads (Y)
 
UPDATE! - 50-55mm Lower

Fitted my lowering springs today :D
took just over a hour to do all 4 springs, was not as hard as i thought it would be.
Car looks so much better imo, but springs still need to settle down.

The pics dont do it any justice, it looks lower in real

:wow: Thats a right bargain! i was expeting maybe £50
Might get myself down there soon :p
 
i got super s dials, set of mudflaps and a spoiler for £34, i just lied and said they were bog standard dials not fancy ones lol well its half true!
 
This is by far the best mod i have done so far!! the car feels so different! feels like a go-kart and handles so well! It feels like its never going to run out of grip :D:D

Puts a smile on my face every time i drive it :D
