Never seen one before (or since!) on the estate so perhaps he was a visitor. Shame I was hoping to have a look, stunning looking car 8) I'm going to Silverstone on Sunday the 27th for a track day/morning if you wanted to have a look around mine... http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=174365...

Car looks stunning Anyone on here?

For info you have about 3mm clearance on your exhausts going over speed humps

As above, don't expect you'll get a "proper job" from them. Its the same as meeting a girl on a night out & expecting her the take it up the number 2 slot, just because you're ex with the same name did. Hi mum :clap: I managed to change a thermostat on my 2 once and I’m a complete ‘ta...

Always use them for tyres and alignment and can't recommend them highly enough

Nice one. Hope you set some good times

There were quite a few blue 220s around at the weekend. I was in the one showing an unusual interest in passing MR2s!

Lots of kitted up MR2s around today. Guessing Santa Pod?

8 years of MR2 ownership came to an end last year but still love seeing these cars on the road

Hello mate, any chance you could post or PM me their number? Might give them a shout to see if they can do a tubby box for similar money or drop and fix mine.

http://www.roguesystems.co.uk/forms/Product.aspx?ID=417 Get one of them and get it fitted much better than trying to repair the box yourself Oh also consider changing the clutch at the same time! :) Thanks for this. I'm guessing that the price on the refurbished box would exclude fitting though. Al...

Thanks for your reply

I think the majority of the cost is labour. Without the facilities I'd have to pay to get my box taken out and the new one added anyway.

Perhaps a better question would have been how many hours labour is required to drop and remount the box?

Looks like my input shaft bearing needs replacing

Got an approximate quote of £800 to sort. After lots of umming and ahhing I’ve decided to bite the bullet and get it done. Is £800 a reasonable price?

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Dave

Rev2 turbo btw

Just a quick thanks to Matt and Patrick at Rogue. My car went in last week for a service and diagnosis of my oil leak and gearbox problems. Unfortunately things don’t look good… oil leak is from the head gasket and gearbox needs the input shaft bearing replaced :( Thanks again for the advice and lif...

and a little bit of play in a bush

Hi Mate, Did you have any luck confirming where your leak is? Pretty sure mine is leaking from the same place (back left hand side of block from head gasket.) Can anyone confirm if this is where the oil feed pipe goes from the block into the head? Has anyone had this leak fixed before? Guessing beca...

Hello mate, I'm not sure where the leak is yet but will post up some pics when (if!) I find it. View from side. The dizzy cap is in the top right corner and I’ve taken the coolant matrix off. But check out the amount of oil. This is where the headgasket is right? So why oil leak at headgasket? This ...

Many thanks for the advice chaps. Got a quiet weekend ahead so I'll give the block a good clean and see what I can find. Last time I cleaned everything up I wasn’t really sure where the possible leaks points were to be honest. I’ll post up some pictures if I find anything suspicious. If in doubt I'l...

Hi folks, Hope someone can help. Car has been dripping oil of late and couldn’t find the leak (the engine block is really messy and a degunking didn’t help.) Went to my usual garage to get the problem diagnosed and was surprised by the conclusion… head gasket failure! Surprising as there is no oil i...

Hi Rob, Here's a link with a description of where to find the sensor. http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=28361&highlight=temp+sender+location Have you checked the level and condition of the coolant? http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=31586&highlight=coolant+color Hope thi...

Hi Rob, Had a similar problem a while back. Turned out I had a dodgy ECU temp sender and a coolant leak. Might be worth trying to remove air from the coolant system ( http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/kb.php?mode=article&k=38 ). I had a bit of mayo under cap but probably due to short journeys. Would ...

Had a passenger ride in one of these at Castle Combe today. SR4 I think.

Unbelievable

Anyone driven one of these?
