Rev2 Turbo original ignition leads

Replaced the original red ignition leads recently to try and fix an issue (it didn't) and I've not noticed the difference with the new ones.

Departure 2 Std

I am selling my Dep 2 Std, I removed it from the car as the Y section joints to the silencers were leaking. There is a cut in the right side tail pipe but this is difficult to see when on the car. It will need some welding work on it, the previous owner put a wrap around the flexi section, i have no...

Hel Brake lines

I have some brand new Hel Brake lines in Black, i purchased them for my Rev2 Turbo but didn't get them fitted when i had alot of other work carried out on the brakes. I purchased these just over a month ago, they are still in the packaging.

One of the studs on my rev2 turbo on the cat to exhaust flexi section is threaded. Amy recommended tools to remove the stud?

Re: Aircon refresh

How did you get on with the ac refresh? I need to top mine up, need to know which is the low side charge port, I'm assuming it's the one on the pipe above the looking glass. I've been all the way around the car with a lamp to try and find the leak but even with the special lamp/glasses I couldn't se...

Re: Headlight cover adjustment (catching on bonnet)

I did play around with the bonnet but couldn't improve it. I did try slackening the bolts at the back that hold it to the chassis but couldn't seem to move it. As a derp i had play with the arm that pushes the light up and down (not when trying to fix it) maybe that pushed it too close to the bonnet...

rattling rear screen

The rear screen rattles when you get to a certain rpm. Not helped by having to put the japspeed back on.

Anyone else had this issue and managed to fix it without refitting the screen?

Was considering putting some padding inbetween the screen and frame to try and stop the movement.

Re: Aircon refresh

Sorry for the delay, I could not login on my phone. I bought a box from Amazon UK as it had a good selection and a fair few of each size. It was around £10. I got a some black mesh from eBay as well and put that in front of the aircon rad and tied it in place. Had my aircon filled on Friday and all ...

Re: Aircon refresh

Yup rev2 so the drier was slightly different to the one most people sell for the MR2.

Think its worth changing the rubber washers while you replace everything.

Re: Aircon refresh

Sorry i meant i bought the newer washers from Amazon and swapped out the older ones from the rad and drier.

The green ones i was lead to believe are for the newer gas, red for r12.

Re: Aircon refresh

I replaced my AC rad, its a Denso from RockAuto and the Drier which i purchased from Ebay. I bought a box of green rubber washers from Amazon and renewed them as i went along. With the drier check the hole alignment once you remove the old one, the pipe and bolt location was fine but i found the one...

Re: Headlight cover adjustment (catching on bonnet)

Already played with them. I removed the shroud and cover when I replaced the AC Drier, also replaced the AC Rad and coolant rad so removed the latch as well. Bonnet just seems to be closer to the light cover now.

Had a play today, might have gotten it a bit better.

Headlight cover adjustment (catching on bonnet)

My bonnet is catching on the headlight cover. Can the headlight unit be adjusted slightly to pull it slightly towards the wing?

Re: Coolant change - how far do you go?

I just drained the radiator the other week, jacked up the rear of the car to get as much out. Worked out i got 5 litres out of the system that way. I was the same as you and did not fancy risking the bolts under the car snapping. If the coolant that came out looked horrible then i would have made mo...

You have been lucky then, after 2 x Rev 2 Turbos and over 6+ years of ownership and a number of garages.. Even with the paper work for the emissions rule i have never really gotten anywhere. Its passed a full CAT but its always close. Would prefer someone that acknowledges the rules. So thought to s...

Aircon Evaporator seal change

I can see what i think are the pipes that go to the evaporator from the frunk side. How easy are they to unbolt and replace the seals?

I've changed the aircon rad and drier along with new seals so thought i might change them if they aren't too much hassle.

Cheers

I have a REV 2 Turbo and it will be MOT time in June. Any recommendations for garages in the area that understand the emissions rule?
