Hello everyone, I have delayed doing this for long enough.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I would like to introduce myself and my
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
'2'.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I'm Daniel and I live in Romford.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I have had my Red 1995 NA for almost two months now.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Bought it from a lovely lady in a little town down near Brighton.

Reg is N707 KWV.

If anyone has any info on the past lives of this car I would appreciate it

I've been using my
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
'2' daily
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(actually, It will be less than daily now as I start a new job in the city on Tuesday, which means no more daily drive on the m25), with very few problems
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(none really).
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Fuel consumption seems a little low when driving sensibly
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(about 32mpg), so I have plans for a full service asap
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(oil, filters, plugs, leads).

It also cold idles a bit high, fluctuating between 1800-2000 depending on unknown factors, and warm idle is at 950rpm, which I think is too high.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I'm sure it idled at 800 for the first month.

There is an intermittent buzzing sound from passengers side door speaker.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
It comes and goes, so difficult to say whtat's causing it.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Sounds like a bad earth issue.

I applied some silicone sealant to the area of a small leak from the t-bar, which solved the
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
'problem'.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I say
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
'problem' as I believe I was actually the problem, failing to correctly fit the panel.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I have always wanted an MR2, so getting one is the fulfillment of a dream really.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I realise it's not an F40, but it's a bloody thrilling drive and I can't stop looking at her when I'm walking away.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I can't seem to post pictures yet so you can find pics of her at

I would like some advice on looking after the paintwork during the winter months, and also the best way to give the engine bay a clean, especially as the manifold is filthy! Want to get it back to its best.
