After 18 years my exhaust is on the way out. Annoyingly it's corroding away on the joint between the cat and the rear box - so I probably have to replace them both - if not now, then fairly soon. It'll definitely fail it's MOT at the end of the month as it is. I can get a Mongoose system no problem....

Thanks. It's the plug end of the leads.
Many moons ago I used to do all my own servicing, but an old-style Mini was (a) easier (b) needed doing more often (c) I had less money and more time... I once took a head off a Micra to sort out it burning oil, but it's all a while ago.

... only had the car 15 years, and never done it (professionally serviced) but I've got a wet-linked misfire. I thought I'd pull the plugs and have a look - but I can't get the damn leads off. What's the knack?

Std late model UK spec car, and the back box is on its way out (140,000 miles I suppose not bad!) - but I don't know where I can get a new one. Fensport (who aren't a million miles from me) think I may have to get one made. Suggestions anyone?

The somewhere is the hard part.

Mind, if you happen to know somewhere in Portugal we'll be there in the Autumn...

On the A14. Very tidy looking car. Don't see many any more.

Did you see me? I suspect you were concentrating too much on the line around that roundabout. In a residential area

I can't beleive some of these posts. I drove 200 miles across the country yesterday in mine. I got in it, turned the key, 4 compressions then fire, exactly the same as it has been for the last 12 years I've owned it. I drove it, stopped twice at the far end, drove it back, and never even dreamed it ...

Felix Crowhurst in the US has just passed 500k. He did have to have a new engine at 471k though...

Yesterday, peeling off onto the westbound slip road. I was behind a truck that was carrying straight on, as it went past the beginning of the slip road I started to speed up to pass it. Then something caught my eye - two sheets of ice, about as big as my T-Tops, had come off the top of the truck and...

... almost none down here. But the last time we had some heavy snow (and it took three hours to drive home, when it's normally 30 minutes) the MR2 was OK. My wife's shopping trolley car, OTOH, was great fun. The lack of power didn't matter any more, it's got decent ground clearance, skinny little wh...

Dunno about yours, but all ours have a dirty great PSU fan blowing hot air all over your fingers when you reach for the mains cable... or in most case two fans for two cables!

Like quite a few of us you may have received a PM that was subsequently deleted by the administrators due to spammage.

That sounds right. Ta!

Andy, all is working fine and has been for a long time ( more than 1 year ) . I've been puzzled by your post and have had a nose through the server logs. The only email that's been sent to you today left our server at 02:48:29 GMT, all looking OK - is this the message you meant? Could your ISP be f...

I guess all this is the reason why I just got an email telling me I have a new PM dated 2006?

I've been thinking about going to Germany next yeat. It appears they have a new thing called an Umweltplakette (environment sticker) which is about 5 euros there (or about 30 online!) without which you can't enter certain cities. Does anyone know which kinds of MR" are allowed which kinds of st...

... Just had my SW20 serviced, but there's a sad Mk1 sitting on the forecourt. Octagon in Bracknell. Apparently he went over a speed hump, and found out that there was significant rust in the front subframe - so if anyone wants some parts...

G Plate, blue, if that's of use.

like we say in france : "c'est du charrabia" It has no meaning :lol: , i think this guy speak english and translate english to french lol what a comic. andy champ : where have you been in france? for holidays? cheers to all For holidays, mostly Brittany and Normandie. For Business, Paris....

What woke this topic up? GuiGuiMR2, you can't be French either :) There are no MR2s in France, I was over there last summer and all the cars were boring. (I did gather a crowd around mine though, when I left it with the roof off). Or perhaps that's just around Cognac? But in case you are... what *di...
