Hello, Just fitted my t.v screen and PS2 (slimline) but have a problem with interference. It appears to be caused by the power supply to the PS2 and is seen as lines on the screen and whining through the stereo (only when engine is on and/or power steering in operation). The power supply I used firs...

Hey mate, It would be a good idea to swap the whole loom over at the same time you should swap all the plus/sensors from the old engine to the new one. Do them one at a time so you dont mix them up, dont worry about the connectors though as they all only fit on one plug/sensor. The reason I say swap...

Hello Urban, Sound like you have been busy mate. I did the same thing as you a while back but you know that anyway. If you replace the whole loom complete, injector wires and all plugs/sensors it will be exactly the same. Just take the loom off the new engine and swap it with the old one. You will n...

Hey I will be watching this post as I would like to know the answer too

Cheers, Lewis.

Hello mate, I can help you with the quarter windows but the rear I havent done co`s it looks NINJA. It involves a similar process but a hell of a alot more of a PITA. As for the quarters, remove all plastic trim from around window on the inside, you will have to undo the seat belt top bolt to get al...

Hello mate,

If you are talking about a rev2 N/A gearbox fitting a rev1 N/A then yes it will.

All you need to do is change the speed sensor on the gearbox to the mechanical type from the rev1.

I know this because I have just done it.

Cheers, Lewis.

Hello everyone,

Please could someone answer me a simple question?

Will a clutch slave cylinder from a rev1 N/A fit a rev 1 tubbie?

Thanks in advance, Lewis.

Hey everyone, Need a new set of big end bearings for my spare engine. Where is the best place to get them from and how will I know what sizes to ask for????? The engine is a rev1/2 N/A. The NO.1 big end shell bearings appear to have disappeared and none of the others seem to be worn. :-k :-k Has any...

Hello mate,

If somebody could confirm whether or not the gearbox speedo sensor is the same for n/a and turbo cars then...

Yes I can sell you one for less than £100.

Cheers, Lewis.

Never thought of that mate.

Will definatly give that a go when I can nick my mate timing light again.

Cheer, Lewis.

Hey,

I have already changed the dizzy and rotor, just dropped low miles replacement engine in so I did the lot.

Only thing I didnt get new was leads co`s they are in good condition.

Cheer, Lewis.

Hello mate, Yeah thats the same for me, having a blitz sus and de-cat on mine it felt like it had lost some low down torque but it does seem better now. Another noticable difference is the idle is ever so slightly lumpy. About every 2-3 secs it skips a purr. Is that the same for you?? Cheers, Lewis.

Hello mate,

Yes, yery good chance it was a rebore.

Yes, very good to still see it as it means there has been little wear.

Cheers, Lewis.

Hello mate,

If your car was made before 1st August 1992 it should not need a emmisions test.

If the garage does do one it should not fail the car unless the smoke is visibly dangerous i.e it obscures your view.

Cheers, Lewis.

Hello,

Just put a replacement engine in my N/A rev1.

Set the timing to 12.5 degs, the car runs really well.

Is this to far or should I put it to 10 degs?

I have a blitz sus and de-cat fitted if that makes a difference.

Any advice welcome!!

Cheers, Lewis.

Hello mate, Try and follow the BGB online mate its pretty good http://www.mr2-tech.com/bgb/mechanical/volume1/cooling_system.htm Dont however put coolant then water in, if its not pre-mix stuff then you need to mix it first, approx 50/50 then put it in. I did mine a week ago and used 10 litres of pr...

I would say leave the engine in. (Save a few days of work) Dont do the cambelt or water pump, just drop the gearbox. (Save approx £100) Minimum of a new release bearing, max new clutch complete. (Save approx £80) Strip engine down to find leak, most likley rocker gasket. Just my 2p worth, only on th...

Hey guys, Could someone help me please, by posting a picture of the right hand side of there engine bay. A rev1 N/A with A/C please. Timing belt cover side, with engine cover removed if possible. Just done a engine swap and am sure I have missed a bracket from the top of the engine mount round to th...

Hello mate,
