what did you do to your micra today ?

Bit far or I would have given you a hand. They don't have to work for MOT, although non working fogs may be picked up as an advisory. It's a simple wiring circuit to build. Just some wire rated at greater than 10A, a 10A fuse and holder, a 3A fuse and holder and a 30A relay (as well as the switch of your choosing, e.g. the fog stalk switch).

Grats dude. I never knew you were pregnant :)
 
I drove to work... at 8am...

This is not good.

However, I intend to spend most of my day looking for the Micra bits on my shopping list (and getting paid while I do it....bonus!):

1. Induction kit (cheap)
2. Lowering springs (although not sure how 35/40mm looks, if anyone can show me, that'd be handy)
3. Tintingses...might just wait til the Spring
4. Front fog lamps
5. Exhaust
 
Got my amp wiring looked at by a brilliant electronic engineer today. Taken it to bypass the shoddy fusion 6 pin plug :). Hopefully il have power to it within the week ready for the new head unit n 6x9s :)
 
New tyres, so good! Tried some part worn michellins, same problem and a diagnosis that one of them had a lump, swapped one for a falken. Gave up and then just went for the new ditchfinders in the end. Worked out cheaper than getting them online anyway. Much better now.
 
Got my fogs of the Almera £24 all in.:) Going to have to cut to fit, either the lugs on them, or the bumper. Happy though.

And, how daft is this. Driving to the scrapper's, smelt burning rubber :eek: Thought... sh*t something wrong here. Sniff, sniff, looking around the cabin for smoke, nothing !!!!! then it dawned on me, I was wearing wellies with the heater on full bore on my feet :rolleyes: - daft bugger. Panic over ;)
 


Bench tested flow meter for coolant system, will run a bit better when its not on a rather choppy 12v supply :)
 
i can get under the barrier at the local lidls when its down hahah, then at b+q around the corner its always flooded in the entrance, i went puddle scraping hahah, came halfway up the door!

frank said:
you gonna fit the electric pump to the CG andy ? to test it out first
Click to expand...
I'll have to I guess :) Will fit the flow meter first I reckon, will be interesting to see what the coolant flow rates are like on the stock belt driven pump. Can then use that info to set a nice safe working flow rate on the electric pump :)
 
Found coolant dripping off the thermostat housing :( was thinking get a new thermostat that comes with a gasket so i can put the new gasket in and seals it up again ? Or will auto factors sell the entire housing ?

I've always binned the gaskets in favour of black bathroom sealant.

Dry as a bone

Ahhh ok , do i need to drain coolant before loosening the clip or should it be fine just to loosen it off push hose on and tighten back up ?
