Why I love my Nissan 100NX

Because even with petrol prices at £1.16 a litre, I can fill up a full tank for about £40.

Assuming the fuel gauge is in any way accurate, of course.)

I wonder how you'd test the accuracy without getting yourself stranded by the side of the road?

In other news I'm also putting together a shopping list of parts I'll need. Starting with the interior, and a passenger door handle shield, a cover for the light in the boot, and a gaiter for the handbrake.

Good news on the Nissan NX handbrake

I have some good news about the dodgy handbrake on my 93 NX.

I've had to ignore the car for a bit for a huge number of reasons, so the main work done has been to hoover and polish away about 2 tonnes of crap that was filling the interior.

But I've also managed to fix the handbrake - by breaking it! When the gaiter and cover came off in my hands I was a bit fed up - until I suddenly realised that the handbrake itself is fine, and it was the cover and handle causing the problems...

Perfect excuse to see if there's a Nismo replacement available?
