cheers magic, i shall persevere and get it fixed. Think iv traced alot of my problems to a goosed radiator which is missing most of its fins. Gonna get one ordered up this weekend. Oh and by the way "the mule" is one of the most bad ass awe inspiring projects on here and ceertainly gives m...
Hi guys pretty new to the site and was just wondering has anyone had experience with the terraclean system on their beloved 2? I saw it recently on wheeler dealers and Ed China endorses the product. Getting high compression readings in my engine of 203, 202, 183, 193 And have heard this could be due...
oh here are some pics of the car http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p537/samhemmings5/20120907_130322_zps279cf427.jpg http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p537/samhemmings5/20120907_123839_zpsbbe58419.jpg http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p537/samhemmings5/20120907_123851_zps770a9f18.jpg http://i1...

what are the correct readings for a rev 3 turbo?

After another day of scratching my head and feeling pretty sorry for myself i'v gone out to halfords in the pug and bought myself a compression tester kit. Hopefully this will give me some more conclusive results. The intercooler/throttle body pipe looks like it may cause some problems with getting ...
Oh yeh and iv also left the car running for a whie on dry ground and can not detect any leaks along the length on the cooling system. Although a lot of my radiator fins seem pretty goosed (potential problem?)

Yeh i know its not really the start of my mr2 ownership that i had hoped for! But with my very limited knowledge of cars i sha...
