Well it passed. Was never in doubt really. Slight imbalance with the handbrake, so I've ordered brand new cables for both sides. Another year of motoring.

Took first in class by 3 seconds from the regular sprint competitiors at Combe.
Always pleasing when your competitors want to look over the car to see why you are soo quick
Looked like a drive around Cornwall with all those bends, but no hedges and no hills gave it away.
Smooth driving there Uno.....and well done buddy.
You missed a bit there Andy......
lol
The Centre Console was a bit scratched so I used some Nissan Silver and Clear coat to repaint it

Replaced right and left handbrake cables. Much better now. I don't scare ppl behind me by rolling back now.

Working without a hydraulic ramp and therefore on the floor how long did it take to replace each cv joint DIY? I may have to do my CV boots this summer & choose either DIY or outsource it?
I did this job .
Was the first time for me and took about 30 minutes ( one side) going slowly.
Ciao e buon lavoro.
I agree. It takes 30mins side, taking your time.

Today I found out one half of My bottom radiator splash sheild thing had broken, so not wanting to risk damaging stuff, I "borrowed" what I needed from the GFs Preface which is currently in Dry Dock.

Nice one Andy ....what's the lump hammer for (?) in case you lose your rag
Took out the wee bit of plastic under the accelerator pedal, which I presume is some sort of restriction device.. Doing so Give me an extra inch or two when pushing the pedal to the floor, not sure if it helps acceleration any or if I'm just imagining things but she sure as hell has a wee bit more to give after doing it

On Sunday replaced the drivers side outer CV, my mate held the inner drive shaft to stabilise it and to make sure I didn't remove the whole shaft whilst tapping off the CV joint! IMHO you need a second pair of hands to make sure the inner drive shaft and outer CV joint is in line whilst removing it and also refitting the new CV joint. Each side took me one and a half hours but I did clean everything (being OCD) and torqued up all bolts etc! B-)

How is going the car?
Did improve the accelleration or not?
I want to do the same.

What did I do to my Micra - March today? Nothing, it was too wet and miserable for me to have left the house.
The March has taken what was meant to be a very temporary spot in the garage where my wife park her Mitzi Lancer so time is important.
Midge the March is there so that I can repair some dings and bangs put there by the previous owner who seemed to have partaken in close quarter combat driving around supermarket car parks and inner city alley ways.
I got a quote from a couple of body shops to have this work done, but their charge is astronomically high - besides, I think they prefer insurance work anyway. No other choice but to do this work myself.
But I'm so out of practice that I'm making blue's allover the place so the work is taking longer than I thought.
I'm now up to laying on the base coat and clear coats, but I need to have the car outside in the sun, or at least warmer temps, but this spell of crap weather is preventing this from happening.
In the meantime, the Lancer is parked out in the drive way and in the rain and the looks I'm getting from her-in-doors seems to indicate that the storm is only going to get worse.

We've just had 10 weeks of the wet stuff, but sunny, sunny here in Cornwall now thank god.
And yes....your storm is on the way ....lol
Visited my friends trove of micras. Got all the darker gx interior trim, pillar speakers and adjustable headlights.

Driving to work this Morning, the Handbrake warning light kept flickering on and off but driving back didn't do it once. I checked the Brake Fluid and it was about a CM above minimum 
so topped it up to just below the Max line. Here's hoping that's all it was..

The switch is underneath the handbrake lever in the plastic trim. Give it a few pushes to clean it out maybeDriving to work this Morning, the Handbrake warning light kept flickering on and off but driving back didn't do it once. I checked the Brake Fluid and it was about a CM above minimum

The switch was OK. I think the Brake Fluid top up sorted it as it hasn't been back on yet. GFs Preface has light on constantly even though it's topped up so I think the switch could be at fault.

My lights are a bit weird on the dash. The brake fluid light is wired to come on with the handbrake light whatever that's about. But the handbrake switch on my other car used to act up and would randomly flick on and off. I took it out and cleaned all the fluff off and that fixed it

New windscreen fitted today ready for mot on the 17th. Couple of jobs left to do. Chuck the cats back on and wishbones. Hoping to have a clean advisories sheet. Took a cheeky pic. Also repainted my horn to a different colour scheme.

That's lovely and shiny. I'd just lacquer it and use it like that. I've got a couple spare rocker covers I'll be cleaning and painting them soon.

You can use an aircraft cleaner type thing F65 or something like that.
@Andy5077 would be able to tell you....you just rub it on to keep it shiny.
Oooh good to know I might have to use that on some other parts I've cleaned up
