Drivers window stopped working?

As above. It stopped working last night - fully down. lol. Is the switch known to stop working and is there any way of getting it back up until i get it fixed? It was intermittently stopping going up. You would have to push switch down then immediately up to get it to go up which makes me think the ...

Anyone plagued with blowing mani gasket

Well my mechanic is a useless sack of ah*t. After ballsing up the engine swap in more ways than one (all fixed now) he took the car back in to fix the blowing exhaust. Got it back, after a further 7weeks in garage and it's started blowing again. It's where the manifold joins the head. I don't knowin...

Re: Loud ticking under acceleration

It's the gasket on manifold. Bell*end mechanic left 2 studs out. The dump valve is sound.

Loud ticking under acceleration

Hi folks. Got the Mr2 back on road. There is a strange noise coning from the dump valve area. It's an HKS that goes straight onto the metal bit above the turbo. The noise started like a creaking. It did it on last engine just on start up. Now it's doing it on new engine which makes me think it's the...

Diagram for boost solenoid setup

Hi folks got car back. It's overboosting. On inspection, it's got a hose missing on one side of the actuator. 1 side goes to boost solenoid then onto turbo housing. Other side of actuator has no hose so I presume this is why it will overboost. Can anyone pop me up a diagram of what the setup should ...

As above, how long should it take by the book and what price would you lot be expecting to pay for a local mechanic to do it.

- cracked aerial rubber
- a badly sealed alarm sensor in the engine bay (allowing water to leak down in past the ECU)

fixed both of them with a healthy amount of black rubber from halfords (same stuff people use for tbar leak repairs)


Good tip, thanks :)

Re: Leaking Boot Spoiler?

The inner arches into the boot are prone to rotting out, if driven in the wet water can get in. it's worth removing the carpet and looking up into the qtr voids if you haven't already done so. Hopefully tho it's something basic like the boot seal or grommets. Duly noted mate. I will get a good look...

Re: Leaking Boot Spoiler?

Could be: - spoiler gaskets - rear lights - grommets at bottom of boot (under carpet) I got inside the boot with a torch while the wife sprayed water everywhere - nothing. Until she sprayed from underneath and a little came through one of the grommets. If it turns out to be this, just get a replace...

I guessed maybe the poiler is leaking. Want to get this fixed asap as my engine is mean to be fitted by this w.e. at lon...
