DING DING DING DING we have a winner!


double checked woith the clocks out, and it did actually stop. turned out pressing the trip reset fixed it!

many thanks! been spending days trying to find this LOL

just removed the clocks while dash is in peices - no change (lucky im doing this in a quiet industrial estate - im sure the cops would not like a car being driven no with appreciable dashboard or electrics working lol) Going back up previous posts - whats this "key reminder" that BLZ is on...

dont think so as the clicking is regular - the timing does not change relative to speed.....will check this though

OK i have done some tests - still not solved! Removed lower dash trim in drivers area, disconnected all the relays by the fusebox, the flasher unit, the central locking "door control" unit, and the "lights on warning" beeper. Went for a drive, STILL CLICKING Removed side trim beh...

sometimes I wish mobiles had a "proximity dial" feature for just this reason, to call them (over handsfree on stereo of course) and give them a piece of my mind

60.1 to be precise, and you need them to be precise or you will get wheel wobble.

buy metal ones! the plastic ones are pants

im gonna take the dash apart tomorrow and go for a drive, im sure its a relay somewhere above the drivers legs, its not down by the footwell fusebox or in the stereo area.

either that, or its right behind the drivers seat - its a hard one to pin down

its funny how sounds you are sure are from one end of the car actually originate from the other

jon_st205 wrote:Most likely culprit is HG between two cylinders so look for low compression on 2 adjacent cyls. Like you say if it was ignition related, you'd spot the duff cyl. In my experience a 3SGE won't idle without throttle on 2 cyls.

Jon

mine did, barely

ok this is a strange one.... However, when im driving along, there is a relay somewhere clicking away about every 15 seconds. I cant really hear it well enough to locate it, and most bizarrly it wont do it when im idling, ONLY when moving. any ideas what it is and where? ta gavin Being as it doesn'...

wel I do but im rather far away - they can be had from ebay for about £25

Quigonjay wrote:have you tried turning the wheel when stationary to see if you can hear the clicking?
possibly the power steering relay located in the frunk

great idea!...

but i dont have power steering

timing belt might have slipped a tooth or two as well

sounds more like 2 cylinders to me - my 2 sounded like that when 2 leads got damaged

any weird noises? oil consumption? oil in water? mayo under oil cap?

removed and cleaned dizzy cap terminals? checked rotor arm? checked fuel pump? blocked fuel filter?

error codes?

wheel bearing or drieshaft/CV i would think mate

ok this is a strange one.... a bit of history...over the last week I have been redoing all the stereo cabling in my 2. Previous owners had butchered it beyond recogniton, so I thought it best to start from scratch. All speakers have been rewired with direct cabling to a new ISO plug in the dash. I m...

oh how I wish we didn't have to buy a 2nd car with 4 seats or I would have snapped this right off you...still, I will talk to the missus, you never know.

It would be totally awesome to have two Red early MK2s

If I remember rightly setting the handbrake is weird on an mr2. What's the procedure? -release handbrake cable from caliper, or if its like mine and wont budge slacken all the way off at the cable adjuster (under centre undertray) -pop caliper off carrier -using a winding tool (or a pair of needle ...

Mine came without, confirmed by toyota dealer who checked my vin
