I was just about to say i could give you a hand but then just looked at your post and your a bit too far. Good luck anyway mate.

About I month ago my alternator failed so I had to replace it, it was a nightmare to get it out of the engine bay, in the end i removed the bracket which holds the alternator and then it came out easily. Mine is a rev 2 Gltd n/a if this helps. Anyway good luck with refitting the alternator back into...

Also how do i lower the subframe would i have to undo a couple of the engine mounts aswell?

Cheers Peter, that was helpful. I have unattached the alternator now and am having a real problem trying to get it out from the car. I have tried to get it out from the bottom from both sides of the middle of the rear subframe and just can't get it out any help from anyone??

I've had a look but can't seem to find a how-to on how to change the alternator, anyone know of a write up for me to follow?

Does anyone know a good place to buy car batteries online? And what type of battery would I need for a rev2 n/a not really powering anything other than standard but still want a decent battery which will last a while.

I am pretty sure my alternator has failed as the battery is just dying. My question is I have a import rev2 n/a (which the alternator has failed on) but have a rev1 uk spec n/a in my garden, will the rev1 alt fit into my car?

Is there a how-to on how to change the gearbox on a mk2? I really need it as soon as possible as I need to get the gearbox out of my car. Or if anyone knows how to do it can you let me know the method please.

Any help will be appreciated.

Don't quote me on this I might be wrong. Yes you change it from the bottom. There is one long bolt at the bottom of the alternator which you take out and another one which you can undo from the top of the car which adjusts the tension of the alt as it screws into the alt along a slider to sdjust tig...

I am doing a cambelt change on a MR2 mkII and can't get the crankshaft pully off. I need to undo the bolt and pull the pully off.

Is there a special tool i can buy for this or any other way?

Im looking to change my cambelt on a UK rev1 n/a. I was wondering if I would be better off getting parts from somewhere like fensport or should i just get these original parts from Toyota? Its just the cambelt and tensioners.

Im sure Halfords sell a lock nut remover. It looks just like a normal socket

try ebay, there are usually a few people breaking cars on there.

Just read a previous post which I posted about the cambelt and someone said that they are similar.

I need to do a cambelt change on my UK rev1 3S-GE engine and was wondering how similar it would be to the 3S-GTE because I am about to read the BGB manual for changing a timing belt. Any help would be appreciated. Is it quite similar as I think, or is it very different??

I've had a look at the knowledge base articles but can't seem to find anything on how to change the cambelt. Is there a guide anywhere for this as I would like to do it this weekend, the car is a '92 UK n/a.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi mate I live in West London and I would reccommend the 3S garage in Hook, its had nothing but positive feedback.

Yep mine aswell

I've just done a oil and filter change for winter and put in fully synth 5w40 into my mkII n/a.

Cheers people, put my mind to rest now. =D>
