Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Does your car whine more than your Mrs?

Mine also whines at about 1k - 2k revs (or at least after that the noise is drowned out), especially when its cold.

It sounds a bit like a whistle and has been like that since I've had it.

Ferrari brakes required to slow down quickly whilst... towing caravans?

It's got a tow-bar!

Re: opinion on Shell's V-Power fuel

I've tried a couple of tankfulls in my UK NA and wasn't at all impressed. I find it idles a little bit lower and is lumpy and I appear to be getting a worse MPG.

I've actually found that ASDA el cheapo fuel seems to feel the best in mine!

Re: high revs

Mine does this, isn't it meant to do this and is just the automatic choke?

Re: loads of Mk2's on the M1 today (sunday)

I was travelling southbound from j22 (2.30pm) to j1, I couldn't believe the weather, heavy rain, hail and then snow. Not the best motorway journey I've had but a safe one and cheap due to generally less than 60mph.

I didn't see any other 2s :-( .

PS I was in a carribean blue also

Re: problems with tesco insurance claim????????

I made a claim with Tesco's about 4 years ago and I got them to up the value they offered for the car by about £1500, I just faxed them a load of adverts printed off autotrader.co.uk for the equivalent car to mine and they quickly upped the offer. They try to get you to accept the lowest offer they ...

Re: [Mk2 NA] Stereo Problems

I've now worked out its only in the front two speakers and only when the engine is running. It seems to be constant now, so it may be easier to work out what's causing it.

I'm guessing it could be a loose wire in the door or something?

Any more ideas?

Re: [All ] Elephant 10month bonus accelerator ???

It is good if you have low (or no) NCD. But they do charge more per month than a 12 month policy, so get a quote for both & see if it's worth it. I went with this for my 1st insurance and then went to Tesco the year after and didn't have any problems with NCD. I've found Elephant to be way cheap...

Oil Level

I've had my rev3 Mk2 Mr2 for about 4 weeks now and I have just checked the oil level with the dipstick and it is way over the max mark, like almost double. I've not had any problems with it but I'm guessing this could be trouble. I bought it from a dealer and it had a service and oil change b4 purch...

Re: [Mk2 NA] Stereo Problems

No, I don't think it's that as sometimes it never happens when driving at all and other times its on all the time. I think there may be some loose connections or something, I might try and take it out and look at the connections.

[Mk2 NA] Stereo Problems

Hi, just got my MR2 (1995 MK2 Rev3) with the stock stereo and cd player but there is a problem with it, and I was wondering if anyone has any idea what it might be: 1) Intermitently there is a high pitched whine coming from the left side speakers. Turning off and on the stereo (sometime several time...

Re: To Buy or Not to Buy...

You know, I'd made up my mind this morning to leave it, but after more thought it still might be a good buy. I've got such an old car (91 Carina 176k) that I'd be glad to be able to PX it and not have to try and sell it etc... I really don't want an import as the insurance is a a lot more and I don'...

Yeah, I'm not too worried about the colour, but it did look very nice indeed. They had 8 of the puppies at various prices so a few to choose from, but the sales guy I met wasn't trying to sell to me at all, and I always want a bit of sales otherwise I fell like I'm doing all the work.

To Buy or Not to Buy...

I've been looking at a 1994 M Reg T-Bar MR2 with 70k miles. Very good condition FTSH in carribean blue, looks stunning. Only issue is price: £5400, bjt from a local dealer (exoticar). Current car is falling apart and MOT due soon, so don't wanna fork out for that. Let me know your views. Regards. Dave
