Thanks for the offer but its sorted.Jinxy and I tackled it today,the lower arm was twisted by about 60 degrees! Instead of being straight it was bent up almost to a rt angle. We had one in my garage and a new ball joint so all is well.From the angle of the wheel I was fearing more damage but got awa...

any one near me got a mk1 drivers corner going spare? i had to take avoiding action to miss an old duffer yesterday and smacked mine up a high kerb.the front wheels at a v. strange angle now.the old git didnt even notice!! i will be stripping it down today but will probably( definitely) needs some p...

as this is intermitent its a bit tricky.check all the normal things first,plugs ,dizzy,timing. when you know these are right you can start on a few other bits.it sounds to me as if the ecu is over fueling as you dont normally get black deposits in a mk1. i would start with your temp sensors as thats...

are there any ice men out there who can help.i want to keep my original radio,i know its twenty years old and you have to twiddle the knob,but it came with the car.what i need is some way of boosting the signal. it tends to go out of tune every 2 miles and the reception is only any good if you sit n...

cant quite work out why i got one photo,nice and clear,and one printed copy all fuzzy.why not two photos? are they trying to get more dosh out of people in court? if they can send one pic why not two? anyway my beast of a peugeot cost me 0 pence and has done 5000 mls so far. its got all the latest i...

at my age a flash in any car is a blessing!
still cant believe there are no legal type mr2 drivers. would it not be an idea to have a mr2 legal representative?

so the bottom line is pay up and try to be more observant. i still seem to remember that they had to have two clear photos but maybe thats the fixed,lines on the road buggers. so much for a camera being used for saftey reasons. i dont think i was going to suddenly swerve and go off in search of a no...

there is really not that much you can do to a standard mk1 engine most has been done by the factory.you can go for a different filter and exhaust but you will only gain a few horses and probably not notice.you can also go for a unichip this will give more torque throughout the rev range but little o...

welcome to our world.you will get loads of help here and have a look at the mk1 site as well.if its a standard mk1 like mine or a vicious beast like pauls its on here.
our paths may cross if your out and about this year.your not that far from me so any problems give me a shout.

it was on the A1,i was done at 62 in a 50.they say it was a junction.it was 8.30 sunday morning not a car in sight,a nice gentle drive as far as i was concerned.i cant say if there was a junction or not, i never use the road this was a one off trip to pick some parts up. does anyone know if the A603...

I have just posted my first picture but the posts have now gone LARGE.they dont fit on the screen anymore whats gone wrong? the site is normal its when i click on the post its supersize.

thats the problem this will be the third one in a year! 20 years with nothing then they come all at once.(sorry about the car but i had to pick up some landrover bits.)if i can get away with this one then its a bit of breathing space. i cant imagine driving at 30 or 40 or even 70 but its getting clo...

heres another try

heres a picture

i have just been done by a mobile detection unit.i have asked for the photographic evidence and this has arrived today.the camera is a front on one so the second picture is the close one.the police have sent me one clear photo at a distance and a printed copy for the second picture.the first picture...

how much money are you looking to spend? i will have one, maybe two for sale in the very near future.one with 117000 and the other with 70000 but a replaced low mileage fensport engine and a unichip(less than 2000 ago).give me a pm if you want to know more.

Lauren the rear triangle bits are plactic not metal.They are available, just .I have just bought two new ones and was told there were only seven sets left.This was a month or so ago.So if you want to get new ones I`d hurry.They are £75 each! ouch!
Whats the best way to take the side strips off?

Now I might be talking loads of brown stuff but I dont think a car that age would have an early engine.Its either been replaced or the covers have been changed. My slant on this is that blue top engines were only in the B reg and some early C reg.The engine was modified with larger crank journals an...

Lauren the hole seems a good idea to me.As you have found out the only other way is a complete strip down.As you said a real PITA.Why not do a "how to do it " article ? The hole could surely either have a plate welded on or just bolted through.Either way would be strong enough IMO.Not sure...

just a thought if you are going back to original i also have the rear trim ,the bit the real mk1s had in place of the side skirts,these i know are mega money.£75 each!!
