Everything it came with for now as I've just recently invested in a Halfords Advanced 150 piece socket set, I'm so glad I did, I've not had a decent tool set for working on a car in ages and it's made all the recent work on the car a breeze! No doubt soon I'll leave a spanner or Allen key laying aro...

A bit of internet searching suggests that this is the keyboard you want: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=V072078BK1+ But I would confirm that by taking the old one out and looking for a matching part number. Laptop keyboards are blummin fiddly though so exercise ca...

AHA, Yes mine runs on for a bit, I just tell people it has a turbo timer! LOL. OK, I will keep looking. There are very few early 406TD's in australia so hoping to get the part from UK??? Cheers. In case HimBigChief's ECU is the wrong one, there's one on eBay that I've already confirmed with the sel...

Funnily enough, I saw a 9000 Aero yesterday, still looks the business and I'd quite like one!

I've been discussing this at length with mark, as we've both had the 3k problem. It seems there are three factors which affect if the ECU is the right one: 1. Manufacture date (should be 1996 ) 2. Large number at the bottom (should be 96 274 538 80 ) 3. The letter on the end of the line beginning DC...

Did it have a wee cooker in?

Aye

The 'original' Nissan Micra I've had two of them, one of which was a camper van: http://www.alanarnold.co.uk/micra/images/jae_2005/jae04.JPG (I probably see more than most as I'm a Site Admin of the Micra Sports Club! ;) The Nissan Bluebird! what a masterpiece that was :?

I'm not actually sure on my overall opinion on the situation, however what does annoy me is everyone else sticking their oars in, what concern of some random uni student is it? This is how the riots got started...

Quick update: I think it's air getting into the fuel system. There's a larger leak than I thought on injector 1 and when i squeezed the priming bulb I could hear air coming out of what I can only imagine due to the location was the bottom of the fuel filter housing, possibly the thing on the left (l...

my 2.1 has done this twice in the 3 years ive had it.once i got the aa out amd they couldnt find a fault either g ot it towed home and 6 hrs later started first touch of the key was fine for about 4 months then did it again never found out what caused it. Odd! Well, if I can solve it I'll let you k...

One that used to get me when I lived in Fife was: You would be on an open road, fairly empty in your direction, making good progress. Then, someone in an old Metro or something would pull on out right in front of you, forcing you to slow down, despite the road behind you being clear, and proceed at...

I had a look at it after my 1 hour drive to work and it was fine, and also firm, but I didn't get a chance to check it when it cut out (I probably should have done)

Funnily enough, I just thought that myself! Now to find the how to guide!

Hi all, Bit of an odd one here, I've had the 406 running on veg now for a good couple of months with no problems, I change the fuel filter regularly (last done about 300 miles ago) but I ran into a very strange problem today. It took quite a bit longer to start than usual (needed 3 rounds of the glo...
