Mr2 Engine

Might be picking up an engine for my rev 3 uk mr2.

I was wondering how heavy an engine is? And can it fit into a golf?

Thanks!

Re: gaaah, first car trouble with the mr2 :( suggestions welcome!

Eek. Must be gutted. Especially with the cold weather. Not the perfect weather to be standing outside tinkering with your motor.

Anyways, read the build of your 2' and felt a weird sense of pride and achievement when I saw the finished motor... :lol:

Re: [Mk2] [NA] White smoke from Exhaust

Aye, had my clutch changed by Nathan about 5 weeks ago. Top fella. My local garage considers my mr2 a specialist motor thus doesn't even want to look at it. Nice guys but just outside their knowledge/experience base. Appreciate their honesty. Just concerned about the journey there. Going to drive re...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] White smoke from Exhaust

Aye. It's looking that way. Gutted. Going to take it over to Nathan in Willenhall next week. Tis a bit of a drive from Birmingham City Centre. Hope I don't cause more damage to it. Will take plenty of water.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] White smoke from Exhaust

Thanks guys for the help and reassurances. Cheers for the link pal. I've got the heater working now. But still losing water. Can see constant bit of water being spat out of the exhaust too. I've had the rear end up and taken out the bubbles. Definitely thinking a leak. Water is coming out of the exh...

[Mk2] [NA] White smoke from Exhaust

Was hoping my motor got through her 1st winter with me smoothly but today she started billowing out white smoke from her exhaust. Car wasn't used for last 3 days as I was off work. Started with a bit of a thud thud heavy sound. Took the below vid as I got to work. Also noticed heater wasn't working....

Re: Coolant trouble. Steaming and Bubbling

Thanks guys! Appreciate the help. Got rid of the air lock. Thanks for the tutorial links. Radiator fan is working and so is the heater releasing warm air. Rads an old original one. I've seen the alloy one on ebay for £102. Spec says that it'll keep the car 40% cooler. Is that any good? I remember re...

Re: Coolant trouble. Steaming and Bubbling

Thanks guys will try that. Going to go take a proper good look at the 'how to's'.
They had it up but it was horizontal. So no gravity assist. Don't have access to axles but will try and work something out.
Will be cancelling Toyota then.
I'm in Brum, near City Centre. Any '2 specialists nearby?

Coolant trouble. Steaming and Bubbling

Hiya guys, Been trawling through all the theads for the last 10 nights and finally plucked up the courage to make a post. I got my 1st mr2 (roadster) and it turned out that i'd been had as the bottom end had gone. Ended up scrapping that but was bitten with the mr2 bug so went out and bought another...
