Interesting read - i normally run the car on either v-power or tesco super but recently ended up having to fill the car with a tank of 'normal' tesco unleaded (or i could have walked home i suppose :clown: ) but to be honest i didnt notice any difference to the normal fuel. I'm sure i'll still go ba...

Hmmm, interesting comments people have made here. Personally i've never driven a boxter myself but a colleague at work has a facelifted one (55 plate) and i think it looks like a very nice car - certainly much nicer than my MR2 - but it did cost 38k :shock: so it should be. Its not a disgrace to the...

Result! Good for you - i thought that it wasn't going to end that way, hope it all follows through with some cash to repair the wing

I've been noticing that it doesnt seem to take very much to get what seem like very hot engine bay temps - engine lid is too hot to touch after a bit of 'spirited' driving. And was wondering if its worth putting a 10" spal fan or similar in the more open part of the rain shield? Anyone done som...

This is the only car i've owned that passed its mot first time and needed nothing doing to it \:D/ - in fact im so pleased with it that im going to buy it a new bit - which bit im not sure yet although alloys are high on the list :D And if you're in yorkshire and in need of a garage for recommendati...

My first thought was that it was a bit pricey - but then it looks like its a very nice example and the rebuild plus forged internals is a very good thing to have. As reece said - go have a look. As to prices otherwise - it seems to me that 4k plus will get you a good example of a rev 3 turbo, of cou...

Its generally the usual TDi fag's Nick T otal D ickheads I nside It seems that any oil burner with over 250 lb/ft of uber-torque seems to imbue its driver with an "I own the road" attitude. They're generally the sort of t0ssers that turn left from the right hand lane at a rounabout in ord...

Hahahaaaaaa hahahahaaaaa Good joke buddy, im wiping away the tears. No seriously its a drag monster is a 172 :clown: Im sure they're great cars and tbh i'd have one as a town car or at least have a look into the possibility as people do seem to rave about them - and not all of them wear baseball cap...

In my experience - owned a mk1 na, mk2 rev 1 na and a mk2 rev3 turbo - so far having only had the tubby 6 months, apart from fuel the running costs have been similar between the 2 mk2's, insurance is about the same (in fact it was more expensive for the rev 1 NA, but that could be down to having it ...

Lol at keeping a turbo off boost etc and holding the rev's - i said things like that, then i bought one :twisted: As to fuel comsumption, i dont think my rev3 turbo is hugely worse on fuel than my rev1 G-ltd, but it was defo running rich. For 3-3.5k i think you'd be lucky to get a really nice rev3 t...

Thanks - i know it sounds so stoopid, and thats why i was wondering - i've always just taken the cars i've had for an mot on auto pilot without giving it any thought! I can almost here my bank account emptying itself already

I've just renewed my car tax for 12 months, my mot is still valid for another month and have booked the car in as a matter of routine for this weekend. My question is - what happens if i cancel this and just mot the car next year - is this legal or does the car require a valid mot for the nex 11mont...

Oh, very nice - might have to order one of them - looks like it may get stung for tax though as its from the US...

Thanks guys - are you trying to get me chased out of some local scrappy by an irate loon wielding a wrench or some such over 2 plastic clips Jay :lol: Gaz - i dont suppose you could tell me what these clips might be known as to the people who work in halfords so that i may not get the usual puzzled ...

Im in need of some of those black plastic clips that hold the cars trim in place - see picture attached - boot liner coming away and i want to clip it back.



Cheers!

Excellent stuff! Looks like a rev2 to me with the coloured side strips If its a rev 1 it'll have a really nasty steering wheel and a tall gear stick

Nicely done matt, almost a 'where's wally' to spot the MR2! Thats a very nice looking car though - those are exactly the wheels i'd like for my '2

I've found no difference running my car on the tesco high octane or the v-power (other than a few £££). I heard somewhere that PH did a trial of different 'performance' fuels for MPG and power etc over a couple of months or something similar.

Nicely done - a whole fleet of Mr2's Did you win it??

Common things that i've noticed on cars i've seen are that the clutch will tend to squeek when used that you can get a bit of wind noise around the wing mirrors - nothing major i know, major stuff like proof of servicing and cam belts has already been said. Oh, and if you go for a t-bar - it WILL le...
