The importance of these two small black dots

Have you ever noticed two little black dots in your Figaro? They may seem small, but they are crucial in ensuring your beloved figgy runs smoothly. If you’re unfamiliar with their

significance or where to find them, you’re in for a treat! We’ve created an informative video that uncovers the mystery behind these dots and shares why they’re essential to keep an eye on. Read more

How to fit the Parking Stick

Sue's birthday present was another excuse to get out the Go-Pro!

One of 55 Accessories available at the time, the Parking Stick was designed to help the driver see the front corner of the car.

The item was unavailable for several years until Figaro specialist The Figaro Shop re-manufactured it. The product comes complete with a full and comprehensive fitting kit. The finial on the top of the stick is manufactured from cast aluminium and chrome-plated for longevity. Unlike the original plastic, it will not flake easily.

What's included in the box

The kit has the following parts:

• Parking Stick
• Aluminium Final Top
• Rubber side stopper
• Lock Nut
• Washer
• Mounting Plate
• Bumper Plate
• 2 x M6 super fine thread bolts and steel washers
• 1 x New Genuine Nissan Bumper Bolt and Nut

English Figaro Wiring Diagram Handbook

As many of you know, our beloved cars are classified as Grey Imports, which means that all documentation was originally published in Japanese—a challenge that can feel like deciphering hieroglyphics when you’re trying to get your hands on some vital information!

For those lucky enough to possess one of the many manuals and handbooks, you might have spent countless hours wrestling with translations, even with the help of modern smartphone software!

THANK YOU

Today, we want to shine a well-deserved spotlight on our dedicated member, known by the forum username fk10, along with other tireless contributors who have been burning the midnight oil to translate the Wiring Diagram Handbook. Their commitment to this project is nothing short of heroic, especially when you consider the quirks of translation—like the "Hazard Switch" being referred to as a "4-Way Switch"! The results of their hard work are simply astounding and incredibly useful for anyone looking to diagnose faults or rewire parts of their car.

So let’s raise a toast to fk10 and all our contributors, and let this be a rallying call for every member to join in these ongoing efforts. Remember, we’re all in this together, and the supportive network of the Figaro Owners Club is here to help you every step of the way! Read more Forum login required.

Top Boot Lift Tag

One of the issues owners have when raising/closing the roof or accessing the top boot is trying to lift the lid.

In most cases, the car’s gas struts which should assist in raising the boot and create a small gap are the original which means they do nothing meaning you have to insert your fingers into the gap to pull the boot lid up. Read more

How to add Bluetooth to your Clarion Unit

If your Clarion unit has been upgraded and includes a separate lead with a 3.5mm jack plug (normally located in the glove compartment) then this short video may be worth a watch. Kevin bought an adapter from Amazon which provides a wireless connection between your Clarion unit and your mobile phone.

This is the Amazon link to the unit which is now priced at £7.99 Read more

Drive Shaft / Axle Left & Right Rebuilt

The Nissan Figaro’s automatic gearbox transmits its power through the driveshafts to the wheel hubs. Over time and due to wear and tear, the drive shafts can corrode, joints can break down and start making noises, boots can split due to dry rot/impact with road debris, vibrations can occur from worn inner joints and in the worst of cases, the axles can snap due to excessive corrosion causing the loss of drive to the hubs and therefor the wheels.

At The Figaro Shop, they have a large inventory of well-used axles/driveshafts. They have taken a limited number of these shafts, stripped them down to bear metal, cleaned and painted the shafts with a protective paint, cleaned, inspected and re-packed the inner joints with new C.V grease including a new CV Boot, replaced the outer joint with a brand new one, new grease and a new boot and assembled the axles, both left and right, ready for dispatch. These axles/driveshafts are as good as new ones and directly replace the originals. Read more

Club Virage Beccles Aerodrome - Sunday 8th September 2024

Words and Pictures by Chapter Coordinator Adam Woods

Congrats and it's up, up and away.

Other joys to share… Keith and Kay had gotten married since we last saw them – massive congrats!! And we were all a bit stunned when Steve and Christine blagged themselves a plane ride!!

In other news, sadly, some members’ cars couldn’t make it! Some say this may have been due to the cars being unavoidably detained against their will … while others might say they were having an extended holiday away while getting some surgery! But all we know for sure was that those owners came along anyway, Figless, but enjoying the chit-chat and Figgy vibe! In fact, JJ seemed to be particularly pleased driving a pink Fiat 500 substitute car! Read more

The Dutch Sixth Figaro After Summer Tour Sunday 29th September 2024

Words and Pictures Chapter Coordinator Pascal & Joyce Snell

Then the morning puzzle drive for 44 Miles started with a checkpoint halfway.

The beautiful roads over the Utrechtse Heuvelrug brought them back to Brocant for a magnificent lunch and a small quiz with questions about the area, Nissan, the Nissan Figaro and some well-known people, born in Utrecht. The most difficult question was; Why is the number 23 so special for Nissan? Do you know the Answer?

Just before the start of the second drive for another 37 miles, we had a small test for the driver, how well do they know their Figaro? Start driving and stop after exactly one wheel turn. Sounds easy, but trust us, not easy at all.

The day ended with a small drink and bite again at Bistro Brocante with prices for the three best all over:

• 1st Martin & Whyneke, 2nd Ruud & Angelique and 3rd Jan & Ilona
• The furthest travelled went to Johan & Maureen from Heist aan Zee, Belgium 146 miles
• The best Figaro of the day was won by Martin & Dennis with their Pale Aqua in excellent condition.

We ended the day with a big ‘THANK YOU’ for Figarocars, being our sponsor and the technical support during the day, and Young Ho for designing our rally shield for all six years now!

As a small souvenir from our sponsor ‘Timp Bookshop’ for this lovely day, we gave all the teams a book from the world famous, born in Utrecht, Miffy.

Special about this book, it was all in Utrecht's Dialect. There was still a possibility to stay for dinner so all and all we had a very nice Figaro day and are looking forward to 2025! Read more

Figgys and Chat plus Afternoon Tea in the South Downs – Sunday 6th October 2024

Words and Pictures by Chapter Coordinator Adam Woods

Around half an hour later we arrived at Tottington Manor for more chat and photos, and then headed in for what was a truly scrumptious Afternoon Tea on their Terrace complete with fire pits! The food was delicious, but what made it all – as always – was the chit-chat with fellow Owners, some of whom had owned their Fig for years, and some of whom were new to the Figgy World!

After a lovely afternoon, we headed our respective ways, parting company as friends, looking forward to the next time we would meet again. Read more

Coffee and Chat in Brecon Wales

Saturday 5th of October 2024

Words and Pictures: Chapter Coordinator Helen Hunter

Video: Kate Broadhurst

The weather and scenery on the route were wonderful. We couldn’t have picked a better day or venue. All thanks to Kate – it was she who suggested The Old Railway Line and as she wasn’t available on Sunday 6th October, it had to be Saturday, 5th. She couldn’t possibly be left off the list as she’s such a great part of the Figgy family.

Our group virtually took over the tea rooms when 18 of us turned up but we managed to find space and, despite not all being able to sit together, we were able to chat and get to know more about other club members.

"The cars attracted quite a bit of attention in the car park where we’d all managed to park together and one family whose Figgy is off the road at present had driven to join us. She’s hoping to get her car roadworthy soon so she can attend a future drive-out."

Belvoir Castle and Chequers Figaro Meet

Grill Badge

How to fit a car badge to your grill

Numerous car badges are available that owners may like to attach to their cars. This new page on shows you how to remove the Figaro grill, make any minor repairs (the neoprene seal around the edge usually needs reglueing), attach the badge, and reinstall the grill. Here, clung founder Kevin Fagan is adding an old UK AA Badge, which once belonged to his father-in-law, so it has much nostalgic value.

HOW TO REMOVE THE GRILL

1. To access the grill you will first need to remove your number plate. This is usually attached by two M6 bolts so you will need a 10mm Spanner. There is no nut to remove, just unscrew the bolt and the number plate will come away.
2. Remove the 6 Phillips screws which attach the grill to that car. There are two on the left, two in the middle, and two on the right.
3. As you pull away the grill you will need to disconnect the two indicator lights. Both these are connected using a harness connector block. If you look closely you will see a clasp which if you press and pull the harness will separate.
4. If you wish you can now remove the light assembled by rotating but this is not necessary.
5. Now you can attach the badge, being careful that any bolts are not too long, reconnect the two lights, reinstall the grill, and reattach the number plate.

REPAIR & POLISH

Whilst the grill was off, I took the opportunity to repair the neoprene seal that runs around the edge using a contact adhesive. This detaches itself over the years through aging. I also cleaned and polished all the individual nipples using a toothbrush with metal polish. This is much easier to do whilst the grill is on a bench rather than kneeling and trying to do it whilst on the car.

Figgys and Chat at the Ace Cafe London Sunday 20th October 2024

Words: Adam Woods

Pictures: Adam Woods, Kevin Fagan, and Damien Jennings.

What a 15th year it has been for the club! We’ve had an amazing Devon Rally (we’ll say nothing of those pesky Wombles) followed by event after event the club has taken us to this year—from car shows to airfields, garden centres to vineyards, royal estates to charity fundraisers… and the one thing that shines through is the Figgy magic! It’s not just the cars—it’s the owners—often mad, often fun, and often keen to enjoy life and make lasting memories.

Holding an event in London is a difficult choice, as the impact of ULEZ has made owning a Figaro even more difficult. But getting people together and supporting Figaro Owners Club members who wanted to do something on their patch was a request we couldn’t refuse. And with the club having had such a long relationship with the iconic Ace Cafe, it was a great opportunity to support the Ace, too!

We wanted to do something different and something that we hoped members would enjoy—Halloween! We came up with some prize-winning categories, reached out to club supplier partners, and started letting people know.

Chatting to Mark Wilsmore, who brought Ace Cafe back all those years ago, we knew that members would love to hear him speak – so we asked and he agreed. Autolink, Classicline, and The Figaro Shop all agreed to sponsor the prize categories, with the founder of TFS, Tobyn agreeing to do a Q&A.

And so to the day itself – would everyone make it, and how readily would members jump on board with the Halloween theme? Like we needed to ask. Wow – the efforts Figgy Folk went to – the Ace Cafe saw Figs in a kaleidoscope of colours, and decorations to die for! With over 60 people in attendance, the event buzzed with Halloween fun!

THE WINNERS

And there were winners galore…

• Anne for Furthest Travelled
• Helen for Shortest Travelled
• Janet for Longest Membership
• Amy for Newest Member
• Both Quirky/Fun Item and Spookiest Fig were also won by Helen, making it a well-deserved hat trick!

The group photos were brilliant, with Kevin taking an aerial photo, members beeping their horns in the biggest Beep Beep we have ever seen, and a brilliant group photo of everyone together at the very end!

And talking of Kevin, he and Sue were their usual generous, kind selves, and it was only right to thank them and celebrate 15 years of Figaro Owners Club with cake and cheers.

What an amazing, fun, and memorable way to celebrate Halloween and a fantastic year of events with the Figaro Owners Club!
