Re: TOMS strut Braces value?

Thanks for the replies Brian.
Unfortunately they dont have any markings on them and not being original (once painted) i am going to give them a miss.

However he is after £250 for them which wasn't bad but i'd rather pay a few hundred more for an original set (if they ever come up for sale)

TOMS strut Braces value?

as per title a friend has some front and rear engine strut braces that I am looking to purchase but dont know what's a fair price to offer for them. Been in his shed for a few years. They require paint / powder coating as are quite grubby looking but are still original in a sort of burgundy colour. ...

Re: 3rd gear crunch (

Cheers toxo, spoke to my mate that did the work and he says he didnt separate the drive shafts. As you rightly stated the sensors are rusted / stuck on..! So could possibly have disturbed them or got them dirty. Will get him to check. I did look about and read on several posts about reading the code...

Re: 3rd gear crunch (

Managed to get hold of a 2nd hand gearbox for under £100, had it fitted and all good crunch free :mrgreen:

However now I have an ABS light on which wasn't on before !

Re: 3rd gear crunch (

I've had a word with a friend who will remove the box for £150 and mentioned a local gearbox specialist to visit for repairs.... He seems to think it can be repaired for around £500 all in depending on the price of a synchro from Toyota. Going to speak to the gearbox buy tomorrow and see what he says.

Re: Oil in Spark Plugs :(

Thanks for the reply - you make it sound easy :)

I was just looking at the inlet that covers the top of the engine and that looks a pain to remove :(

Don't suppose there is a link to the manual on here?

Oil in Spark Plugs :(

So tried starting up my rev5 N/A after about 5 weeks and it would not start.
Pulled off the HT Lead nearest to the dizzy and it was drenched on oil. Just that one the rest were dry.

Is it a case of replacing a gasket ? Any links / videos? Is it a time consuming job? DIY ?

Thanks all.

Re: Misfire on Idle Rev 5 N/A

Already had it zap me earlier :oops: Check the coil for cracks, usually they split allowing moisture in. With the engine running if you have a grab around the coil you will probably get a zap from it. Not a great idea but that is how I found the last faulty coil. Safer to just remove and inspect it.

Misfire on Idle Rev 5 N/A

Noticed a slight misfire on my MR2 on idle. When revved / driven its fine just on idle it backfires / misfires slightly.

Any ideas peeps..?

Re: Tein Coilover Leaking - Refurb or buy?

Rang them. They said because of the age and they have to order parts from Japan and can take around 5-6 weeks.
So i'm thinking of getting a replacement front stock suspension and sending the Tein to them and see how they get on unless I see a set of used ones or anyone has some for sale..?

Tein Coilover Leaking - Refurb or buy?

My rev3 turbo has a set of Tein HA coilovers fitted and I noticed today one was leaking slightly. I am wondering is there a company that can re-build them or anyone know where i can buy a single one from as the other 3 are fine.
