Hi everyone. Not been on here in ageeeessss lol. Still a paid member though lol. I did have a nice MK1 for a few months but that was a few years ago now. I currently drive a Vauxhall Nova 2.5V6 which is basically a track car with everything you would need ie coilovers, cage etc and as fast as it is ...

Ah I see. Is the water pump a big job on these? I just done the HG on my MGF and getting at the water pump involved a lot of work.

Hey I'm working on a mk2 that has sprung a leak. I have narrowed it down to this. It's coming from this area and only when the cars running. If I put my hand down in the area I can feel a small hole that the water is coming from. It feels like there is a screw that should be in it or something. Any ...

I traded it for a 2001 MGF. The MK1 had a new problem every week. So far the MG has been fine. I do miss the mk1 though. Now that I have a garage I might get a wee project.

Hi I reciently traded in my mk1. I left the imoc stickers on it so whoever bought it would know about this site. Has anyone on here got it?

Hi everyone. I traded my mk1 a few weeks ago after doing loads of work to it. I decided I needed something a bit more modern. Anyway I got £850 on a trade in and I saw it on the forecourt of the garage at £950. It's now been reduced to £795 but the guy who owns the garage is good for a deal. It's a ...

Hi everyone I was wondering what the standard wheel weight for a MK1 (teardrop style) is. Including the tyres? Just a rough guess?

Thanks

Sorry meant to put that in. It's 126000, I have also replaced the fanbelt and fitted a t-bar strut brace.

Hi I've decided to sell my mk1 after a few months of work on him. It's a Mica Blue Code 8E3 with a blue interior. It's mot'd until September 2009 and Taxed until December 2009. I have done a lot of work. Heres the list. Front and Rear Droplinks Repalced. SBITS Rear Tie Bars. New plugs, leads and diz...

Cool sounds good. Hope to see a few of you there, I will be in my mk1.

Andy

Thanks guys I will re bleed the whole system. What is the best fluid to use?

Hi I reciently changed the oil and filter on my mk1. Since doing so I have noticed a slight oil leak after I turn the car off. It's not a constent leak I think its coming from the filter as the one I removed had a line of oil on it. In the box for the new filter was a plastic washer but I binned thi...

Hi I'm going to Crail on the 8th of Feb with a few mates. Anyone on here want to join let me know.

So whats everyones plans for 2009? Mines are. Sort out the suspension and rear calipers, Possibly 3sgte on the way and get the rear arches done although they are not so bad. On another note went to MrT and got an oil filter. The guy said they had two different lenghts and gave me the longer one as i...

Are ferodo brake pads any better than standard? I know Greenstuff is good.

Just won a set of refurbed rear calipers for £57 and that incudes postage.

I know I could have done mine but I dont have the time.

Good price would you say?

Hey everyone Happy New Year. Just a quick question about oil filters. When in Halfords I noticed that the one for the Mk1 Is the same as the Mk2. Just jumped on ebay and was looking at this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLITZ-RACING-OIL-FILTER-TOYOTA-MR2-SW20_W0QQitemZ260340086519QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsP...

Ive got the oppertunity to get a cheap set that are in good nick. It's just to put on while I re-con mine.

I got Halfords to mix me up some mica blue 8e3 a few months ago. I just went in and asked for a can. Cost me £10 and it does the job. Not quite a perfect match but close.

Andy

Hi i'm in the process of doing the same. I enjoy it aswell. The interesting thing is that on removing some panels in the boot I found that someone had already treated the inside of the rear arches. I think it can prolong the life of the car quite well if done correctly.
