Thanks Folks :) :) :) :) I've had a couple of evenings on the car this week, and although a lot of it was spent looking and thinking, I feel I've made some good progress towards solving the issues found when driving around. I think I've found a clutch master from a Toyota 4Runner/Hilux is the same a...

Thanks for your kind comments folks :) I've made a bit of progress recently, I had a good day on it today. The air box is in with a new filter: http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l217/lozzzzzzz_2006/20150428_175216_2.jpg http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l217/lozzzzzzz_2006/20150428_175256_5.jpg And ...

Thanks all. I've heard it might be brake related from a few places now. Thats a bummer as I thought I'd sorted all that wiring and wouldn't know where to start with it. Anyway, I'll VAGCom it and see for sure. Thanks for the supportive messages, I'm ignoring the smoke for now, the engine is so acces...

I've had a very productive morning on the MR2 although my success has been accompanied by some new problems to solve. The fuel lines are all in now and the engine runs with the simple connecting of the battery and turning of the key :) http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l217/lozzzzzzz_2006/20150426_1...

Thanks Scott, that sounds like the best place to put it. I've been busy with lots of other car related stuff, so haven't had any time on the MR2 for a while. But this weekend I did get some done, and with some help too :) (cheers Matt) The exhaust is fitted, I've bled the brakes and clutch, starred ...

Thanks Benjo

Thanks 2mad

Had a whole day on it today. I managed to get all the drive shaft and suspension bolts torqued up, although the bl***y TCA bolt took an hour to locate in the hole :( http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l217/lozzzzzzz_2006/20150407_201801.jpg I took the EGR blank off and cleaned it up. It is much more ...

Thanks Draven Hopefully I'll get a bit more done on Tuesday.

A little update. The exhaust is finished, i'm quite chuffed with how light it is now that its based on the turbo system. http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l217/lozzzzzzz_2006/20150327_110340.jpg The new drive shafts have arrived and are now fitted: http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l217/lozzzzzzz_20...

Thanks Devonlad. It sounds like you better get started putting that TDI in the MR2

I've made some more progress although this post is a little modest in the number of photographs. Sorry about that. I'll try and get back to old habits next time I'm in the garage. Anyway, I've finally tackled the boost hoses, the outlet from the turbo, makes its way over the drive shaft, past the cr...

Thanks all :) I've been so busy, I've pretty much had two weeks with no garage time :( But yesterday I got a little done. I finally made up the drive shafts, that should hold :) http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l217/lozzzzzzz_2006/20150307_081801.jpg Only kidding, I've sent those off to be made pro...

I got the last of the wires connected up and just had to give it a go :) There are a number of sensors missing, no exhaust, lots of air in the fuel lines and a flat battery, but it soon came to life :) Two milestones left, Moving under its own power and the MOT :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq8...

Had a good solid day on it yesterday. I was really picking the pace up towards the end of the day as I seem to be approaching the next milestone.... Starting the engine in the car. (not quite there yet mind) I've got the wires from the engine bay through the bulkhead. http://i97.photobucket.com/albu...

Hahahaha,

Safety Glasses!!!

I'm just going to wear them everywhere all the time (well in the garage anyway). Its just not worth it, there are plenty of things I do where I'm much more likely to get chemicals in my eyes so I'm getting some good scratch resistant ones.

Yeah it was a lucky escape really.

Guess what I've just bought on ebay????

(not a new battery yet)

This weekend I exploded a tractor battery in my face and spent hours in A&E having bits of plastic pulled out out my eye and checking for acid damage! Now I have 11 drops a day :( :( and I owe the parents £130 for a new tractor battery!!! http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l217/lozzzzzzz_2006/201...

Thanks 2Mad, that's very kind and very encouraging to read

Thanks Pete
