Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Standard brake disc and pads Vs. updgraded kit

I've read that drilled discs can be prone to cracking between the holes and that grooves cause accelerated wear. I don't think that discs can improve braking significantly as they're all just big chunks of metal, if you want better braking then aftermarket pads are your best bet, ebc or carbotech e...

Re: power steering

All I can say it that this forum has just saved me well over £100 from taking this to a garage and my hours having to wait to get it repaired.

Totally love my MR2, it 17 years old and better than half the Euro car out today!

Thanks you guys :clap:

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] HELP!! Power steering stopped working!

It was Steve who had the problem, not me! Although ironically, a few weeks after I had the problem lol. With the battery connected as normal, just turn the ignition switch to ACC and back off again about 10-15-20 times quickly. You don't need to go mental otherwise you risk breaking the key, just d...

Hiya, Just got in my car today and the power steering did not work. Have a 93 turbo, had it for over a year with no PS proplems. I know that it is connected to my anti-theft system, so not sure if it is the PS or the security. When it normally works, you can hear the PS motor as soon as you turn the...
