just bought erwin bolt set. Couldn't get the mole grips to work they twist too much and leave no room to turn as it's so tight. tried hammering the hex bit i had in a bit further too nothing worked. For info screwfix do a erbauer set for £13 that look identical to erwin, but are black and come in a ...

ok been a bit of a Muppet...two bolts on the inside of the viewing panel of the flywheel, first bolt came out no bother perfect second bolt felt like it coming out but after 4 turns I'd realised I'd stripped the inside. swear it must be soft metal as it didn't take much for it to turn. #-o anyhow be...

that's great thanks

[quote="Gazza_DJ" There are bolts underneath the lower sump piece, so you have to remove the lower steel sump first. There are also two bolts that you cannot get to without removing the flywheel that hold the crank seal housing to the sump. [/quote] got hex ones in the sump, but it must be...

are these yellow billies too far gone also?( maybe should change post topic to "Too far gone!?")

Agreed. Can stick it on an engine stand and makes everything nice and easy. Removing and installing an engine on an SW20 isn't too bad even on a driveway. Use an engine hoist to lift the whole car up off the engine and slide the engine out. yeah seen a few vids on youtube folk doing that..time to p...

The crank can be removed with the engine in place but by the time you have removed gearbox, clutch, rear main oil seal, then cam belt and oil pump struggling with it in place. I'd say much easier with the engine removed and you can address any other issues you come across along the way. thanks for ...

you have pm

Ironically your question at the top is impossible to answer as you've only put Yes or no but asked 2 questions. So we don't know which one we're replying too. i see what you're saying there... in the poll i was implying save it =yes or (don't save it) let it go =no. unable to edit it. yeah engine s...

mr2 Rev4 turbo 1996 Azure blue DO i save it? or do i just need to let it go? owned 2 n/a's previous and had this tubby for 7 years now... was off the road for 3 years while i was driving 350z. Recently put it back on the road. had all both sills done and rotten bits in the boot taken care off(wheel ...

this is the first time they have failed in 4 years. The mot guy said the pin is missing to secure the lines into place. Not sure which code it failed on 2.d, maybe?. They are secured in place not hanging or anything, but just this pin issue?

got more info, apparently it's this pin on the tip of the circle bit that is missing:





how do you get around this? as the hel and the mlr and goodridge don't seem to have it?

so if i got these that would sort it?

or the goodridge ones come with brackets?

found other topics related but figured i should start my own:
mr2 failed on hel braided lines at MOT. something about pins missing? anyone else had this or know what that's about? is that the p clips? or something else?

MOT test in N.I. is same test as rest of UK except: 1.) that tests can only be carried out by the ministry in their locations, so there is only a very limited number of locations that you can go for a test. 2.) You are required to display the MOT on the windscreen. Neither of which cover the tester...
