Re: Has this ever happened to you? Bet not!

That blows! Cant upto and inc early '95s run without a Cat for MOT if engine is in good state of tune? Could also try running a tank of Vpower before test, might drop emissions a bit.

Re: Key wont turn in ignition!

Had this problem a few months back with Rev1 Coupe. Spent bout 30mins trying to sort it, gave up and called AA out (1st time ever) and in 30secs he'd wiggled the key about and fired it up. He said i should take it straight to garage and get the barrel replaced ;( So i booked it into JapTech in Hull ...

Re: Not driving the MR2

Girlfriend is driving the Rev1 Coupe still. Granted the other week it was under a foot of snow and didnt go very far. Its now running Rev2 alloys which probably helps a bit. Only problems have been: 1. Do not wash the engine bonnet/cover (never had this before), but it was so cold some water most ha...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Mr2 3s-fe flat spot between 2500 and 3000 revs please help

Hi,
I've just bought a 3s-fe. Changed the spark plugs, air filter and oil change. The car seems to have flat power curve upto about 3k, then pulls after that. Not sure if this is normal?

[Mk2] [NA] Only in the wet - Gurgling Noise (Not coolent to my knowledge)

Hi All, Recently bought a 1991 Uk MR2 Coupe. Working through the many problems. This one only ever occures in the wet (raining). It sounds the same as if you put your head next to a drain pipe and heard the gurgling water noise. It sounds like its coming from the rear vents (if you looked on the out...

Re: Possibly Selling 1991 Uk MR2 Coupe (68k on clock)

Thanks for that ;) temperature has dropped outside and it just seems to have started, so hopefully its the cold start high tick-over. If the new strut top and lower ball joint sort out the suspension problems i will get the alignment done. Got a over steering wheel disc lock, will check insurance do...

Re: Possibly Selling 1991 Uk MR2 Coupe (68k on clock)

At the end of the day i didnt have to buy it... However it was nothing like described. Hopefully Karma exists... Something that has just started happening is that only when you 1st start, it idles around 1,500rpm for a few minutes before settling back to 800rpm or so. Do i just need to remove the Id...

Re: Possibly Selling 1991 Uk MR2 Coupe (68k on clock)

Hopefully this should sort the problems. Then just need to keep on top of the rust and sort out the other bits. Should be a good 1st MR2 for her.

Re: Possibly Selling 1991 Uk MR2 Coupe (68k on clock)

Hi, Thanks for the replies. I will have a good look at it this weekend. Taking it for the oil and filter change becuase the owner said he would take it out for a road test and let me know what he thinks the problem noise's are. I will attempt to sort the niggles out. But if i cant i will put it up f...
