Re: Help please - complete left sill

Hi John,

A Ford KA sill is very similar to the MK2 with some minimal mods can be easily made to fit. I've never done it myself [hopefully I'll not have to :pray: ] but there is lots of information about fitting them on the various forums.

Good luck mate, that's an anoyying place to be.

My first thought would be to check the wheel bearings all round for any play.

Re: Indicator not working - Any Ideas?

Yes, I had this. Remove the relay from the drivers side footwell and clean the terminals, worked a treat on mine and no problems since.

Other than that replace the relay [after you have tested with a replacement].

This may help http://mr2oc.co.uk/forums/mk2/indicator ... 39777.html

As Dan said and also check the rear inner arches, especially the section where they meet up with the bumper.

Re: Gearbox oil for Rev3 Turbo

Yeah, 4 quarts. You'll have about 3/4 of a bottle left at the end iirc. I'd be happy to buy the remainder of the final bottle off you Marf. It'll save me buying a 4th bottle and you can get some cash back as well. Plus we have the peace of mind to realise that we are protecting our planet by not wa...

Got to agree with black/black and chrome but I saw one with a yellow rim line around the radius edge, similar to the one on Advans and it looked sweet. :oldtongue:
