Ok. Mr Two is being a little strange, there is no more mayonaisse, not a bit, and no coolant loss. So i'm leaving it for now. I gave a really good ragging when it was all nice and warm. I'm thinking that the large quantity of mayo was from it being sat a lot and doing short journeys. Did a compressi...

I found a garage thats open on saturday, and the did the coolant test thing. And it was positive, suggesting there is somehting very wrong. A fair bit of coolant came out when i removed the cap. #-o So I'll start stripping it down tomorrow. I really really hope its not to bad and that a simple skim ...

Right folks, I'm in trouble, there's a lot of meomaisse in the filer cap, its abouta third full. what to do? I'm a litle tight on money at the moment. Please tell me if theres anythin else it could be? I'm gunno start stripping it tommorrow afternoon (sunday) can it be done easily enough?, (we've do...

NO thats not it the 4AGE, Thats just firing a spark at the wrong time. Is there still something wet in or around the dizzy. Thats exactly what happens when it gets wet. Maybe the leads are wrong. Keep fiddling.

Thats a nice little test that. I had a little read of the manual aswell. So m i right in thinking that when idling, even when hot some of the air is meant to go via the AAV. It only huned a little this morning and when i put my finger over the hole it stopped. Whats really really annoying is that i ...

AAAHHHH!!!!!! it got worse, its now hunting evrey time for a while too, just before it reaches normal temp. I'm thinking it might not be waxstat too, cos it seems really well timed, not random, (if that makes sense). And beeing lazy the last thing i want to do is drain the coolant. So any other idea...

I can see this toppic is a bone of contension. Makes for some good reading. I cleaned the back hubs as best i could before putting the new discs on but i think one of them wasn';t seating properly. It might have been cos i used sheel nuts up against the disc though #-o . After all that food for thou...

thanks a lot for the really really quick responces. The hand brake cable is just fine, so a rebuild kit it is. How much is one of those manual choke kits?? When fitting new discs, your meant to check them witha dial in guage, to see if they're flat, what do you do if they're not???? Thanks folks

I thought toyota's were bomb proof! The front discs are warped like pringles, One of the new rears is getting hot (depsite cleaning and greasinghte sliders) and now the engine is hunting, only once so far but i want to nip it in the bud. I'll fix the front brakes, but... Any ideas about the engine??...

New alternator fitted this evening. Now the correct belt fits, and all the bolt holes line up.

I like that approuch with the grinder, hehe. The hand brake was 6 clicks before and now its back to how it should be. Many thanks for all the advice. Now i have to suffer driving it gently for 300 miles.

I had to screw them in so that they were flush with the caliper to get them over the new pads. Is that enough? Is it bad if i didn't???

The back brakes looked like this: http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l217/lozzzzzzz_2006/DSC00189-1.jpg And a whole evening later and £150 later they now look like this: http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l217/lozzzzzzz_2006/DSC00191-1.jpg But the hand brake is doing my head in. If i screw the caliper...

Thanks for the advise folks. That racing looks fun. I'll be using my Donnington track day voucher soon, I'll let it be known on the forum and hopfully someone else can make it too. I cant wait. Where have MR"'s been all my life, I thought the Scimitar handled well, but this is in a different le...

Here are a few pics of my motor. I thought as you all know exactly how these aswome little cars look, I'd show you all the rusty bit, and tell you how much i paid, then you can tell me if it was a bargain or not. Its only had a few owners now and its got a full Toyota servise history, every 3000 ish...

Ummmm..... all worth considering. I think its just the idle screw i'm looking for though as it reves p to 2500 when cold as it should, but when its hot even after a good thrashing it idles at 1100. I've cleaned the air filter and re oiled it and the manual says 800 rpm. So with all the above in mind...

Is the idle ajustment the little screw under the rubber cover, It seems to have the right effect, I just wanted to be sure i wasn't changing mixture or anything daft?

Thanks for the replies. Its a white 1989 T-Bar. The body is in great shape and its done 85000 miles with full toyota service history. It leaks so slowly i didn't think to look for drips. When my scimitar leaked a bit i eventually saw a slight jet of steam from a hose, that took ages to find. I'll tr...

I've now owned my MR2 mk1 for a day and its quite amazing as you all know. But there are a problems that need ironing out. So hopefully you could shed some light on what to do. First off the alternator seems to be wrong for the car. The adjustment slot for tightening the belt doesn't seem to line up...
