Hi, I took my Mr out on Saturday afternoon and having just filled up with fuel, I drove enthusiastically out of the garage and suddenly heard a loud clattering... turns out it was the alternator belt snapping. I drove it back a mile to my house, so hope I've not damaged it at all. It was daylight an...

Looks like a good turnout then!
Am heading up from Guildford in a while, but noticed I have a small oil leak so might have to check car out first!!

Re: [FINALIZED] MR2 *RARE* REV5 BEAMS VVTI 200BHP T-Bar Mica Orange (1998)

Its likely this car will be going to France and escaping being broken. I'm also awaiting a viewing from an IMOC member. So she is escaping being broken currently. :thumleft: Thank f*** for that, this is an awesome car and I'm so surprised it's not been snapped up. I drive an auto rev1 and been look...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Locking door with key - only one side locks

I have the same problem on my Rev1. I've been told it's the "door lock control switch" that's fubbered. If I lock from passenger side central locking works fine.
Think they're about £28 from Mr T. Will be investing once I have the door card off to investigate.

Looks like a nice car mate, welcome to the IMOC! Bought my H-reg T-bar auto back in August 08 and love it. I can only drive autos and the MR2 box is a good one compared to others I've driven. Lots of poke when you want it, my box is a little slow to react but might need a fluid change I guess. Power...

Have you checked power steering fault codes?

Mine has been on for a while now, I mean couple of months but it's code 31 so apparently p/s is still working.

Re: Rolling Road day @ Surrey rolling road. 18th July FULLY BOOKED GUYS WELL DONE

Gutted I can't come to this I'll be on the isle of wight for the weekend. Not far away for me either, oh well next time.
Btw, does anyone know if you can actually run autos decently on a RR? Mine's a rev1 JDM import auto.

Cheers all and have fun,
