Just found oil in my filler cap.... not happy! Just recently had a new front rad and water pump, which was 2 lots of flushing of coolant and new coolant. Now i have oil/dirty stuff in the top of my filler cap, after some good bit of boosting yesterday, car pulls fine, fully bleed not losing coolant,...

/curious why filter relocation? Was for easier change and able to get better reading from oil temps as not much heat soak as an adapter plate. But i later removed this and its back to its original position now, after reading a thread about extra pressure on the oil pump from increased fluid, so bin...

Indeed. Just need to find a cowl for cheap, if im any good at it i might start attacking some other bits of my MR2

You use 3M wrap? And did you use primer and stuff... ?

That looks awsome! Might have a blast at that soon, defiantly freshens up the cowl

Don't use compressed air it damages the elements allowing more crap to get into the intake.

Just gently attack the filter with a brush to remove large dirt, then soak them in the proper cleaning agents like the K+N stuff, and re-oil them up.

Haha, -99, yea thought i would give it ago as its well cheap, just hope it works well.

Just found this beauty if anyone ever needs one of these... Its car friendly 12V supply Looks to have a decent thermocouple also http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Digital-Thermometer-Temp-Meter-F-C-TWO-Sensor-31-257F-/370544441378?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26...

heya! yea still got it, been off the road for well over a year, as i got into the marines but failed 4 weeks before i was due to get my green lid

Back to civvy street now.. which means MR2 time!

ahh sorry my spal fan has been removed from the engine, i meant the front fans to pull more air into my pre-rad for my CC, duno if it would make much difference though to inlet temps, probably not

might try unplugging it then... might help my inlet temps from the CC !

I'd suggest giving it a good flushing with all that in there stick new thermostat in there and give it another compression test after putting fresh coolant in, but im no mechanic.. thats just what i'd do

Yea i got power steering, not sure what sensor you mean in the frunk but the fans don't run permanently they actually hardly ever come on...

Yea air con system was completely gutted out by the previous owner, guess it can just stay there.... does it effect the fans at all, if you know?

Thanks for that, just went and had a look at my my rad again, and i've had a bit of a silly moment http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac184/Dayloz/MR2/Car003.jpg This is the fan switch plumbed in http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac184/Dayloz/MR2/Car005.jpg But this is what i wanted to know, what i...

Just thought i'd pop this up here.

New Performance rad, made and fitted by Radtech Racing £400 though



Looks the part though, has both bleed points and place for fan sesnor.

Rite.. just been reading http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=154774 And its made me think about my fans... i've just had a Radtech Racing Cooling Rad to replace my leaking rad, and im not sure if they have put a place for the fan sensor to go, there seems to be some black sensor just attach...

Well i am a toolmaker ~ engineer, but i dont have a ramp which i think is what makes it easier...

Booked in for thursday now anyways

Roger that one, hard to do i don't do!

Is it easy enough to do this yourself?

Had a quote from Nathan at MrTwos which i thought was good, but thought i might have a go at it myself if its easy to do?

Had the caliper's off and they we're sliding freely, handbrake seems to be ok though now, magicly fixed it maybe.
