Re: To MR2 Mk3 or not?

I would say no to the MR2. 1. due to storage issues and 2. Due to reliability. I have JUST been reading about MK3's having 3 engine swaps, cat replacements etc. Sounds like there is a huge problem with them. So far most of the work has been covered under warranty but! the owners have still experien...

Can I just open all bleed valves and bleed the system dry? Then add new fluid and bleed until all the air is out...
