Re: Oil level warning light??

I actually stripped mine down and re-soldered the contacts on it.

Works fine, no need to remove the dash and I'm not out of pocket. :)

Re: amount of mr2 left

I actually think they will go up in 5-10 years. Just consider that the MR-2 market at the moment is pretty bananas. On PH there is [or was?] a bloke asking 3K for a reasonably tidy NA. Now I doubt it will go, but he wasn't entirely alone in the idea that N/As should go for between £2-3k. Which, as s...

Re: HELP...Boot is stuck in Valet mode?

Locked my new xbox in there once.

Jiggle. And jiggle for about 30 mins. :(

I found that you don't want the key to be all the way in, just a couple of mm out from that, then as said, jiggle for all your worth.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Engine Hesitation Under WOT at High Revs - Rubbish MPG During Normal Use

Right. okay, little update on this: I have just changed out the ECU for another unit. I am not exactly sure this will change anything, but I'm now at the stage of throwing money at it, changing each part that *might* be causing problems and hoping for the best. I've been to my local garage, and they...

Re: Air filter/Induction kit

I think the oil from the filters is meant to go through the intake and damage the MAF [if you have one]

Re: amount of mr2 left

Its ashame I dont have any spare cash as now would be a perfect time to buy up 5 or 6 half decent cheap ones and just throw them in storage for 5 years. I dont think that the mr2 market and drop much more... I see your point, but I don't actually think they will end up ever skyrocketing in value. I...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Engine Hesitation Under WOT at High Revs - Rubbish MPG During Normal Use

Silly question, and one borne completely from laziness to trawl the BGB; where is the ECU located? In the boot, behind firewall carpet. Thanks Peter, :thumleft: And from what I'm reading it's completely fine just to wing an ECU with the same part number in there. There's nothing to worry about with...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Tin top to T bar

Nice mk2's seem to be rapidly disappearing. I couldn't believe how many crap ones there are about when I was looking a few months back. Best you find a good one now and keep it as it may be your last chance. In a couple more years I reckon there will be nothing good left with the exception of a sma...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Engine Hesitation Under WOT at High Revs - Rubbish MPG During Normal Use

Well as a bit of an update I have got the car running again. The battery was something close to flat as a pancake this morning, although I managed to get a couple of cranks from it as expected she wouldn't take. So I set up the jump leads and connected them to a 4L V8 Jag that I happened to have han...
