[Mk2] [NA] New quiet exhaust?
After 18 years my exhaust is on the way out. Annoyingly it's corroding away on the joint between the cat and the rear box - so I probably have to replace them both - if not now, then fairly soon. It'll definitely fail it's MOT at the end of the month as it is. I can get a Mongoose system no problem....

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Spark plug leads
Thanks. It's the plug end of the leads.
Many moons ago I used to do all my own servicing, but an old-style Mini was (a) easier (b) needed doing more often (c) I had less money and more time... I once took a head off a Micra to sort out it burning oil, but it's all a while ago.

[Mk2] [NA] Spark plug leads
... only had the car 15 years, and never done it (professionally serviced) but I've got a wet-linked misfire. I thought I'd pull the plugs and have a look - but I can't get the damn leads off. What's the knack?

[Mk2] [NA] Where can I get an exhaust?
Std late model UK spec car, and the back box is on its way out (140,000 miles I suppose not bad!) - but I don't know where I can get a new one. Fensport (who aren't a million miles from me) think I may have to get one made. Suggestions anyone?

Re: You know you drive an MR2 when....
I can't beleive some of these posts. I drove 200 miles across the country yesterday in mine. I got in it, turned the key, 4 compressions then fire, exactly the same as it has been for the last 12 years I've owned it. I drove it, stopped twice at the far end, drove it back, and never even dreamed it ...

Unusual ice hazard
Yesterday, peeling off onto the westbound slip road. I was behind a truck that was carrying straight on, as it went past the beginning of the slip road I started to speed up to pass it. Then something caught my eye - two sheets of ice, about as big as my T-Tops, had come off the top of the truck and...

What snow?
... almost none down here. But the last time we had some heavy snow (and it took three hours to drive home, when it's normally 30 minutes) the MR2 was OK. My wife's shopping trolley car, OTOH, was great fun. The lack of power didn't matter any more, it's got decent ground clearance, skinny little wh...

Dunno about yours, but all ours have a dirty great PSU fan blowing hot air all over your fingers when you reach for the mains cable... or in most case two fans for two cables!

Like quite a few of us you may have received a PM that was subsequently deleted by the administrators due to spammage.
That sounds right. Ta!

Andy, all is working fine and has been for a long time ( more than 1 year ) . I've been puzzled by your post and have had a nose through the server logs.

I guess all this is the reason why I just got an email telling me I have a new PM dated 2006?
