Looks like a great example, can't see this hanging around for long - good luck with the sale

Great effort Glad it's still going strong!

My previous Mk2 was trooping on effortlessly towards 150k until its untimely demise.....my current mk2 has a paltry 80k on it, but rising at a decent rate smiles all the way

looks sweet i seen this up for sale your story is very similar to mine i sold my rev 2 due to being on its last legs had a breif fling with a e36 bmw then bought a nice rev5 in black lol :) wheels look much better but prefer the other colour and seats are awesome :) Cheers mate :thumleft: I had jus...

Thought i'd post up a quick update Progress has not been great (winter weather + no garage), but I think I have got the MR2 looking a bit sharper since I purchased it back in early Nov. The first thing I did was give the old girl a proper clean inside and out. It has come up pretty good me thinks, a...

First step is to remove the caliper, and take the bracket off the car...there might be enough of the bolt still in it to get a decent grip on. If there is I would put it in a vice, put a heat gun on it till it's hot , spray it with WD40, then once the smoke has cleared put mole grips on it as tight...

The bolt has snapped off just at the start of the thread. Haven't got a pic of the caliper itself at the mo, but the snapped section of bolt must be sticking out a little as the cylinder / caliper is being held in position. Here is the bolt, sorry not the best pic, taken with my phone: http://i37.ph...

Snapper the bottom bolt that holds the rear brake cylinder / caliper in place (the one that you undo so the caliper can swing up to remove the pads). I noticed that the bolt was not in good shape when I removed it, and sure enough it snapped like a bit of pasta when I tried to tighten it back up - k...

This is the fix I used on my previous Mk 2 T-Bar, worked wonders. I now need to do it to my current Mk 2 as it leaks between the window and door frame:

Open boot, place phone in boot on record mode, close boot

Ps - all sorted now

Cheers Peter, i'll strip off the plastic surround and take a look

501 Great stuff, cheers! As luck would have it I had a 501 in the tool box, slipped it in and works a treat, only issue is, the light is not going off when the boot is closed (hence why the bulb was removed by the previous owner). Any ideas how to fix this? I could't even see where the switch is......

My current Mk 2 needs a new bulb in the boot, problem is, the old one has been removed by the previous owner so I don't know what it is.....can someone shed some light on what type of bulb I need to pick up

Cheers

Fitted these yesterday. They are not a straight swap, as a little bit of cutting is required. Having said that, all I had to do was increase the diameter of the mounting hole by about 2/3mm...nothing 2 mins with the grinder couldn't sort out. For the money, they sound great

Cheers peeps

My new Mk2 Rev 5 is black, but I understand there are a couple of different shades of black (so I have been told). It there a way to easily confirm the correct factory colour? Is it located on the car anywhere / vin plate etc? I only ask because some nice person has reversed into my front bumper rem...

Anyone fitted these in the door pods of a Mk 2 - any advice gratefully received re fitment.

Cheers

But while you are waiting for the belt if you order it you could just put one turn on the bolt. As Peter said, i usually do it up to about "that tight" which is when at the middle of the longest run i can twist it thro only 90 deg. And yes just loosen the pivot bolt and then turn the adju...
