Re: Anyone have a mica orange Two?

Nice. Would be good to see some pics if you can post. I don't know how you do it but there is a guide somewhere

Anyone have a mica orange Two?

Just wondering if anyone knows of any of these around still. I found this advert from way back in 2011, not long after I bought mine. https://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=150614&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=&sid=2d19c8a4f8a91af2b1537b9c5115a305&p_sid=d5...

Re: Radiator options

I replaced mine last year after noticing that mine was not only missing most of its fins but also leaving a puddle in the garage. I paid £90 on ebay and was very pleased with it. I got it from an ebay user called budget-radiators but they don't seem to be present any longer. I'm sure others will be ...

Re: Odd question about cabin filters

I had a go at this a few years ago actually, because I was parking it under trees and loads of seeds and leaves kept getting in to the cabin. The air inlet (where you would want to put the filter) is a weird shape, so I got biggest one I could find (think it was for an Audi), cut it up and duck tape...

Nice videos. I don't have any experience of pistons, but seeing all this coming apart step by step is great. Keep up the good work.

Re: Power steering problem

Hi mate I had this problem where the PAS would stop working every winter (and usually get better once the weather improves!). There is a bodge where you connect two wires to the same relay terminal. However, I always felt this was a bit too much of a bodge so this year I finally replaced the relay a...

Strange noise - possible wheel bearing?

I noticed a strange noise from the back of the car and need a bit of assistance. It is definitely related to the speed of the wheel (once per revolution) and from jacking the the car up seems to be the o/s/r wheel. My first thought was a wheel bearing, but there is no wobble when shaking the wheel w...

Re: Wanted Urgently - UR or PW Stainless Cancer Bars

Would it take much to make one? Presumably it should be pretty straightforward if you can get hold of some stainless tube and have access to a bench vice and a drill.

Re: Power steering failure

I agree. What I really don't get is why is the original relay fixed on rubber mounts?

Re: Power steering failure

Mine does this every year, about this time of year. Maybe it's something to do with the cold. Most years I bodge it by wiring the two connectors on the top of the relay to the same terminal. After a bit of searching I found it's not actually very difficult to just replace the relay with a standard-l...

I've just replaced my 4-wire with a Denso DOX-0216 and seems to be working ok. £40-ish off Ebay.

Re: Bike Rack for MR2

I was looking at a U channel ( or a standard halfords channel for bikes and mount it using the two toe hooks on tyhe rear. If you fabricate the correct bracket for the eyes, then all you have to do i mount the Halfords channel onto it and bike sits along the back. Just a thought. That sounds like a...

Re: Front end knock

How long ago did you replace all those? Ive replaced my parts recently and got a knock along a few hundred miles later again :-k Same story here actually. I had a pretty major clanging when going over uneven bumps. I had drop links and ARB bushes replaced for the MOT back in December, which cured i...
