Those BBS LMs are lovely

I'm currently running some 17" staggered Oz Superleggeras....I think they suit the car well

Good stuff, I'm in Bristol aswell. Good idea with the mesh save a busted radiator in the future The mesh is a really good idea although my air con rad takes most of the pounding so not really worried.. :o Very true, my previous MR2 had aircon so the A/C rad acted as a barrier for the main radiator....

Thanks for everyones advice on this thread :thumleft: I decided to have a go at the job on Thurs and as folks stated, it was not that bad. I just took my time and followed the workshop manual \:D/ While the old rad was out I was also able to waxoyl a couple of spots of rust that were starting around...

Right, just started this job and all going well until I got to the radiator pipe drain plugs, they are solid and I'm pretty sure that they are going snap if I apply any more force So....on the basis that the car had a coolant change not too long ago and i'm putting the same coolant back in after i'v...

Can't seem to locate the 'engine coolant drain plug', can someone point me in the right direction / post up a picture. The repair manual states 'rear left of engine block' but this has not helped me....I assume this means the passenger side nearest the boot (as opposed to the cabin)

They have gone walk-about, no worries, should be able to pick some up easy enough

Click this http://www.mr2oc.com/downloads/bgb/MR2_SW_1993_REPAIRMANUAL.zip Click the engine folder then the cooling one. It gives a great outline of the steps involved. Click the second coolant pdf and that tells you how to replace the coolant. Hope this helps. Keep us posted how you get on its a b...

Cheers for all the advice peeps, top stuff

Any idea what type of coolant I should use and also how much I will need?

Long shot I know but does anyone fancy helping me change my radiator over (Mk 2). I'm fairly confident that I could crack on with the physical swap but not happy bleeding the system etc when the new coolant goes in. I'm based in Bristol - if someone localish has done the job and fancies helping out ...

How much coolant does the system hold? I guess if I fill it up to the correct level in the expansion bottle that should do the trick?

I wouldn't be too keen on putting rad weld in the system, the temperature spike was probably due to air, how far do you have to drive the car to get it home? Cheers for the reply. Need to get back to Bristol from Devon. I'll get the car in my old mans garage tomorrow and check that it is just a wee...

Today I noticed that the water temperature needle in my Mk 2 Rev 5 was sitting higher than normal (it normally sits a rock solid 1/2 on the dial once upto temp). I pulled over and discovered that the car was low on water and then when round the front discovered why, a stone has hit the rad and pierc...

Lots of great advice here thanks folks.....the next free (and dry) weekend I have I'll get under the car and see what I can do

Just had my current Mk 2 mot'd - went through without any major issues (needed both 'cancer' bars replacing plus some cleaning of the throttle body to get through the emissions test). While the car was on the ramp I took the opportunity to have a look / poke around. While all appears solid underneat...

Couple of pics, hope everyone had a good day :thumleft: http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e70/T785JMY/Cars/DSC_1050_zps24ae23ab.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e70/T785JMY/Cars/DSC_1068_zps6ab6eebd.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e70/T785JMY/Cars/DSC_1070_zps58d701d7.jpg http://i37.photo...

Name and shame time now as I am sick of sending PMs to people... The wanted address list looks like this now: - EmMr2 - Nick - nigel753 - cartledge_uk - BRZ2 (GT86OC) - Tinker2 (MR2OC) - MrAndy (MR2OC) The way this is going it looks like some tickets will probably stay unclaimed and therefore will ...
