Get everything working:

Fit door card on drivers side

Get sub working (got the amp working yesterday)

Finish wiring cameras

Wire speakers in the back

Put an LED to replace the broken bulb for the heater switches

Finish off wiring he switches up - heated seats, TV antenna e.t.c

And hopefully get my exhaust straightened & a decat pipe made in the new year

wink

Clutch has finally gone after 140,000 miles and 16 years

It's been screetching the past few days, but I just thought it was a loose belt.

HID Ballast also knackered so only got one headlight at the moment.

On the plus side, Amp and sub are now wired up.

Seeing how long I could get away with it for, was looking at getting a sport clutch, but at double the price of a standard and not much more power than standard, theres no point.

Ok, after spending over £100 on new clutch parts, I found out today that the car wouldnt start.

Found out that its not my clutch that has gone, but merely the nuts on the throttle body on the inlet manifold had untightned and the inlet had come loose from the manifold.

Least I have a new clutch to change when the weather is a bit warmer.

Headlight is now fixed after buying a new ballast

Should have asked moi when I had the Micra. Crappy Clutch ,means you couldnt put the power down. Doesnt effect the engine in "stalling" etc, as a crap clutch wouldnt provide enough bite to stall...

Least you know what it is though bud....


£100 for clutch parts !!!!
Did you try Unipart ???
