If you were to give someone your car to park and didn't want them to get into the boot you can lock the boot by turning the key 90 degrees to the left in the boot lock with the master key.

Went to open the boot on my rev2 mr2 and turned it 90 degrees anticlockwise. Very unwise thing to do as it locks but due to a slightly warn key wouldn't open for love nor money. Then a trick I read on here about graphite from a pencil and lots of wd40 it eventually opened so next time I'm going to o...

Used to use a garage for my MOT's well 2 MOT's then realised they were taken the p*ss. They never gave any advisories on MOT's they would just fail it and get the work to repair them. My mate had an old beetle and instead of using the tool they should used for checking for rust they would just hit i...

Right then replaced the fuse on the driver side panel and now have electric mirrors again and the clock is working aswell and is somehow at the right time? Have taken the headlight apart and found the electrical connection was full of some white residue god knows how it got there but is now working ...

Any ideas on what CDS fan is anyone?

Thanks for the reply just had a look at the fusebox under the driver side dash. Have checked all fuses and there is 1 10amp fuse blown so am going to get a replacement now. There isn't a diagram to show what each fuse does so am guessing it will be the electric mirrors. Have tried new bulbs in the r...

Now that I have given the car a good service I am starting to have a look at the electrics. There are a few electrical bits on the car that aren't working namely the electric mirrors, the rear foglight and reverse light and the passenger side headlight doesn't pop up. Have opened the fusebox at the ...

You might want to Try Mozilla Firefox heard problems with IE on some forums.

Where's the best place to get a standard 0.9 bar cap? Camskill do them for 5 quid but if genuine Toyota ones aren't much more I will get one of those instead.

Might help if you say what browser you are using to connect to the Internet on your laptop

No I haven't, only had the car 2 weeks gonna get some oil from opie oils on Friday so will get some gearbox oil at the same time

No quick shift kit. The car is standard I don't think there is 1 modification on the car

Thanks for the replies think it needs a more experienced eye to have a look over it just to make sure everything is ok.

Have got a slight issue with 2nd gear unless you push it over to the left and are a bit careful changing into 2nd it crunches. Is this likely to be gearbox or bushes or is it impossible to tell without a through inspection? All other gears are fine and if you are careful it doesnt do it and clutch i...

Got no history with the car so have no clue to its previous work other than it was owned by a mechanic.

Changed the spark plugs last weekend and the old ones were a nice light brown colour so it could have had engine work.

Something else I have the emissions test from last year's mot and it says;

CO Max limit 3,500 actual value 0,479
HC Max limit 1200 actual value 117

Sounds abit low for a 20 year old? Wondering wether the tester might have accidentally put his tester up the wrong exhaust?

How specific is the date because mine is 14th Aug 92 when it was first registered? It has a cat but you get more leeway with the non cat test I'm led to believe?

I'm guessing you have to take the passenger side off to change the air filter?

Have taken it out a few times in the dry and it handles so well it just feels like a big go kart very glad I got one. Roll on a long dry summer but it doesn't feel bad in the wet either I'm just very careful
