Well I managed to get it through another MOT in December! Shame I got the car back without powersteering. It appeared to fail when I collected the car and it isn't the relay! So currently driving it with out the power steering ECU and building up my upper body!

Since you've posted in December, I assume that the seal is hard and is probably taken the shape of the previous sunroof. I'd be inclined to change the seal. However I don't know if there are any differences in sunroofs, you'd have to check a parts catalogue for that. My T-bar is starting to leak, so...

Hi, well it made it through another MOT in August, got a few wee jobs to do before spring....

Well I took it out in the snow and managed to survive! It developed a fault with the steering (possibly due to the cold) and wanted to go sideways on the straights! So I took the car to my local garage and the steering rack is fubar! It's as if the rack and pinion are skipping... However surprisingl...

That is a lot of fails. it failed pretty much every year. Good luck sorting it. No plans to sort it, current plan is to drive until MOT expires, then break for spares, hopefully gather enough funds to cover expense of car and maybe buy another... Normally the coil gets cracks in it and then water f...

So after driving the car in the rain and parking it out in the rain, it wouldn't start last week. Thankfully I managed to get it started at weekend and have it inside now. upon inspection I found the boot flooded. https://i.imgur.com/tsEzr5a.jpg I can only guess that it has been coming from the whee...

That's a rev4 engine, can see the EGR setup. That's great thanks! Maybe I should invest in an EGR blanking plate, to free up some ponies and eliminate any potential issues... I got a shot under the bonnet, am I right thinking that this is an ABS pump? https://i.imgur.com/PWKzfFV.jpg cheers, Ewan

Hi, Does this help? https://i.imgur.com/kXKCTeI.jpg I have an airbag on the steering wheel. The car has leather trim on the doors, which makes me think that the seat had seen better days and got swapped out... btw. this is my old MR2 from around 2005... https://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n306/chooc...

Thanks, that's good to know!

Should my car have ABS or not? It's a 96 UK car as above, there is no light on the dash and the wheels lock up when you hit the brakes! I just thought a car of this age would have it...

It is good to see that this forum is still quite active :D Just checked the MOT history on this. Run!! Not possible! Can you weld? I have MIG, TIG and ARC welders, but not great at welding sadly... Just checked the MOT history on this. Run!! It's not good reading. Although I think I'd have a go at w...

Ok, just hitting the 15 posts! Sorry I've had to bump this post so much, but didn't want to disturb other topics...

Someone has also fitted a short shift gearlever, which I don't think does any favours, hopefully I can find a good standard lever to replace it....

Is it still possible to get rear inner wheel arches and rear 3/4 panels? I think it would take a good bodyshop to sort out this car....

Did the UK cars come with leather seats? I thought they did, but this one has fabric seats, maybe someone changed them out at some point?

Someone also fitted an aftermarket air intake, with sensor on the casing, Looks a bit like a Blitz air filter. However I'd like to replace it with a standard air box as I doubt it's doing much. I've seen articles where the reduced filtration from a performance filter can reduce the engine's compress...

Some one put one of those ridiculous TOMs style air intakes. Hopefully I can source a standard panel and sell it to make the car more OEM looking.

Do the speakers go bad? I've noticed that there is a crackle from the one behind the drivers seat....

I am quite surprised that these cars actually have a dizzy cap, I thought Toyota would have put in a more advanced EFI setup.

Sorry I can't seem to upload pictures yet, I've got to post more!
