Right at the very top of the smaller pipe, where it connects to the flange on the turbo.

Sounds like your speedo sender unit mate.

I have the same problem.

Its a bloody nightmare to take out too .

I would imagine you have error code 42?

Well, it was the pipe. Split in the exact same place as the last one.

Awesome.

I dont suppose anybody has one lying around they dont want?

Yet again thanks for the help mate. I did shine a torch up there but as you know its rather tight/awkward and I couldnt see exactly where the oil was leaking from. The gaskets I fitted were from toyota and were all metal. I`m going to attempt to tighten the nuts up tomorrow, hope to god that fixes i...

Just out of curiosity which water pipes are you meaning? Is there a pic of the ones you mean? Once I remove them would I need to mess about bleeding the system etc? I drove the car over a pit today and cleaned up all the oil. Then started the car and let it warm up. A slow trickle of oil started to ...

Have you changed the inner and outer track rod ends?

Im assuming you have.

But anyways, I had a nasty wobble on my car recently, it turned out to be my shock absorbers. I changed the front 2 and now the wobble has gone.

Thing is the car has been fine for a couple of weeks. Surely gaskets would have started leaking straight away? Its a pretty major leak again, dripping continuously. I HOPE it is just a case of a bolt needing tightening, but I doubt it. I think its another split pipe. Its such a bloody nightmare to r...

have you recently changed anything else/had any other work done? No mate, only had the car a month. The only thing ive changed which is oil/turbo related is the cracked oil pipe. Im hoping to god its not the same thing as its a nightmare to change. I just want the damn thing to go more than 2 days ...

Ok, it seems as though all i`m ever doing is posting threads about things breaking. Well, today, its broken...again. A couple of weeks ago I changed the turbo oil feed/return pipes on my rev 1 tubby. The pipe split and caused oil to p1$$ out all over my downpipe etc causing a horrible smell and load...

boost problem solved, it was a broken jubilee clip on the intercooler pipework lol. Nice and simple fix. Phew.

Thanks mate that would be great, are you free this week?

Hi,

I have a favour to ask of any MR2 owners in or around Lincoln. I have a steering wheel wobble and would like to know if its my wheels/tyres or not.

Was wondering if anybody would let me use their wheels for 5 mins to see if thats the case.

I would really appreciate it.

Thanks guys,

Trev

thanks mate, some good ideas there

I removed the actuator to get at the 27mm bolt. Worked a treat, nice easy access. BUT MY GOD I wish I didnt do it like that now. Was a fookin nightmare getting the actuator back on lol.

Hi, Once again, I fix one thing and something else goes wrong. Hope someone can help. Problem number 1:- Lack of Boost I have recently removed the actuator to fix another problem, I had a nightmare trying to refit it and to get the circlip attached. Finally managed it, but now the car is only boosti...

Ok, im officially pi$$ed off.

Tried for 3 hours to get the damn circlip on and it just would not play ball. Lost 6 of the little fooks!!!!

Tried cir-clip pliers, tried long nose pliers, hands everything!! Its the most impossible job EVER!!

moral to the story is ... if your getting P'ed of with somthing ... go and have a cup of tea and a smoke (if that way) come back and next time you probly wont have pinged of your c clip lol. It was trying to put it back in. Fookin nightmare. Its ok I can go buy another today, bought one yesterday f...

I've read more than one thread involving broken lambda wires and similar...the cars all seem to misfire a bit when on boost but essentially it's not going to damage the engine if it runs a bit rich, It almost seems to be akin to the "offside rule" ... the rev1/2 lambda question...no body ...

Thanks mate.

wounder...you need the circlip or it will come apart...the O2 sensors are a plenty on here but expesivo from Mr T...sucker...lol. I snapped my circlip when doing the turbo swap and ended up using a sort of spring/split pin type thing that was in my toolbox...shaped a bit like a capital B...has work...
