No play at all they are rock solid, the locking pins are tapered - so no chance of any play ;)

Not cheap - true - but you wont need a steering wheel clamp!

I have a quick release steering wheel fitted to mine - way better than carrying a Krooklock lol Its made by snapoff - its only 10 mm thick - and very good quality. The only problem is finding a supplier - they are hard to get hold of... :) Brian Here you go: http://www.tekniqauto.com/US/snapoff/snap...

Buy three, one for each side, and a third (either hand).

Cut the center section out of the third, cut that section in two, and use it to extend the rear section of the first two sills so that they can now replace the full length of each sill...

Thats my plan - will tell you how it goes :)

Aha! - brilliant - I didnt realise it stored the codes :) Im getting error code 42 - which apparently is a speed sensor signal - since the speedo is actually working Im going to assume its the speed signal feedback to the ECU. There is a KMH / MPH converter fitted (by a previous owner) which I assum...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] front numberplate


The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is not aware of any self-adhesive number plates that meet the British Standard requirements.


Doesn't make them illegal - it just means that they are not aware of any lol

If one wants to be REALLY pendantic - there is a small recess around the edge of the front import number plate holder lol.

actually THEY are correct and they are doing their job for pulling you. You MUST fit a UK sized plate unless the bodywork etc prohibits the fitment of a UK sized plate. There's no MR2 I've seen which can't fit a UK sized plate on the front as there's no moulded recess for an import one. You just ca...
