Surely not, BMWs never break down because they're like, the best cars eva!

Its not broken, its just wired in to the indicators so it never goes off.

If yout talking about the grill between the exhaust tips, its part of the body work - it would have either been bent up flush under the bumper, or cut off.

If its cut off, only way of getting one would be off another car i think.

Parked in the retail park bit about 4pm today, K reg.

Noticed it as not only did it look mint, but original - you dont see many with original wheels etc on nowadays.

Anyone here?

Thanks mate, work in Brentwood so probably was me.

£3100 Putting my 1994 Turbo up for sale, rather tentatively as im still not sure i want it to go! This is my 5th MR2 now and im now feeling the need to branch out a little in terms of its replacement. Have owned this one for around a year now. Currently on 87000 miles.

Hi all

Does anyone have the dimesions of the turbo outer driveshaft boots? I can only find either full kits (i already have the inners) or full cv joint kits. If i know the measurements i can try and find an alternative.

Or if anyone knows a supplier, that would be great.

Cheers!

Clare's is definately NA unless she's converted it - we were talking about finding a good NA exhaust last time we spoke.

whenever i see another two im always in my bus (black ford galaxy that looks like a cab turbo diesel) if i waved or flashed they would think im some sort of nutter, i see an army green matt finish two in romford essex wednesday night if i flashed or waved i probably would have had my lights punched...

No problem - glad it was an easy fix!

I had a Baileys DV on my old GT4 that did that occasionally - i took it apart and gave it a good clean and lube, it seemed fine after that.

If you've checked the exhaust side, im assuming the wastegate door was seated ok, and still sprung shut? Did the intake and exhaust impellers bot thurn together? Im certainly no expert, but if the actuator had failed, i would have thought it would no longer open the wastegate door, and you would ove...

Do you have the cat still in place?

This sounds very similar to a problem i had on my old tubby - the management light would not come on and the car would not start. It faded in after around 10 seconds but the car still would not start. It would finally start, seemingly when it wanted to. My ECU fuse also kept popping, which said to m...

Are the earths ok? Could try checking the relay earth and the ignitor/ coil metal frame for corrosion.

Isn't it the other way around?

That's a very good point Corrected

LOL you had me going for a bit - I was going other parts websites thinking i'd gone nuts!

You havent mentioned it but i assume you checked rotor arm and cap as well?

Are you getting any spark at the coil?

And no mention of an aftermarket ECU controlling the aftermarket mods?

Not an ECU, but theres a Apexi AFC in one of the photos.

I'd say thats a Rev 1 engine - dont the Rev 1's have the narrower throttle body?

Mr T = Toyota

As far as i know, they do not pity fools.

They do seem to have a tendancy to weld themselves onto the hub as well!

When i did the fronts, i bought a cup type as the BGB SST is one. Didnt fit! Grabbed my trusty hinged one - screw was too short to close! I ended up having to jury rig another screw on top of the original one - worked though!

When i took a top mount off, i held the strut upright with a foot on the lower bracket, gripped the top mount with both hands, and wiggled it side to side while pulling, same method as getting a steering wheel off.
