Lovely Video.Especially like the K11 ones as I have one.Mrs Car Spy is a wizard with the socket set!!! Stephen I think you should do the washing -up for a week in appreciation for all that hard work she's done LOL.
Great video. It’s good to see Mrs CarSpyTV on the tools too. I can’t believe how brittle the old tank was. It’s good that it’s a nice straight forward car to work on. How much did this job set you back in parts for this video?
Thank you, Matt. The tank cost £16.60 from eBay. There were a few cheaper tanks available, too. However, in some cases the buyers feedback said the bolt holes didn't line up. Best wishes.
The Nissan increases in value with ever video, now on to two person jobs too. Another couple of months and the Nissan will be a daily-use vehicle and too valuable to sell. 🙂
Such a useful repair given the tank was so brittle. Good to see the wrench in use too after your video about to use it. What's the link to buy your book?
Glad you enjoyed the video. The book is available at Amazon. Link below. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B088T7TCTQ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=how+to+buy+the+right+used+car&qid=1589898627&sr=8-1
@carspytv I have the same problem, made a temporary fix with ductape to cover the hole. Now I’d like to raplace the tank but i wonder if its ok to replace it while the tank is still full. How should i emty it? And won’t there be a problem with air bubbles if I refill the new tank because a full coolant swap is too much for me. Thanks for your help
The tank in the video was replaced without emptying it. This didn't cause any issues. If you want to empty your tank, a turkey baster might help. Good luck.
Hi great video. I need to change my tank but have question regards the coolant type. In the tank it’s clear liquid but in the radiator it looks green and have been told by Halfords and Formula 1 I should use OAT Pink. What would your advice be?

Hi Mark. Mrs CarSpyTV very much agrees with your washing up suggestion. I’m not so sure, though! Glad you enjoyed the video and best wishes.
Nice to see the coolant tank replaced. Was watching when it broke. Lovely to see Mrs Car Spy TV again.
Thank you, Anne. I'll try not to break the new one!
I did this exact thing put my finger through the expansion tank
Hi CSTV, I know this is an older video of yours, but thank you so much! Very easy to do!
You're welcome. Glad the video helped.

@@CarSpyTV oh that’s a good price. I hope it lasts longer than the last one. I hope you both have a wonderful weekend ))
Thank you, Matt. Same to you and the family.
@@CarSpyTV cheers :)
Another fab video Mrs. Car spy is a gem. Got any tips on what to but the other half for Valentines? 😁
What's Valentine's Day? I've never heard of it!
Perhaps some screen wash or engine oil for the Micra?!
Great ideas!
Fun vid, thanks guys! Look forward to the Scottish road trip once you're done poking holes in it :-)
I've found a few rust holes, too!
The Nissan increases in value with ever video, now on to two person jobs too. Another couple of months and the Nissan will be a daily-use vehicle and too valuable to sell. 🙂
Perhaps! But nonetheless, I'll consider offers in excess of £100,000! Best wishes as always.

Great! Thanks Stephen. I'll get my copy now 😃
Jolly good.

You're welcome.
Hey
Hi Chris.
I love my nissan Micra k11
One of the best small cars of its era.
@carspytv I have the same problem, made a temporary fix with ductape to cover the hole. Now I’d like to raplace the tank but i wonder if its ok to replace it while the tank is still full. How should i emty it? And won’t there be a problem with air bubbles if I refill the new tank because a full coolant swap is too much for me.

What would your advice be?
Hello. The Micra Owner's Manual confirms which fluids suit the car. Best wishes from CarSpyTV.
Thank you I did the tank change today. Love your K11 series, will help us a lot .
where did you get the expansion tank from
Hello. The expansion tank came from eBay. There was plenty of choice for a modest price.
