Hi John,

I've sent you a private message.

Thanks,

Matt

I have for sale the above vehicle on an L reg plate. I bought this car a year ago. I did some work to the car which can be seen on this thread. Pictures of car are also on this thread, although additional pictures can be provided if requested. MR2 Owners Profile Thread http://i315.photobucket.com/al...

Well I've not been on here for nearly a year. I bought all the spare parts to get the beater back on the road but never got round to it. I have just bought a 600bhp Supra so this is now surplus to requirement. I will be putting this up for sale as a non runner for £1K or best offers. She does in fac...

Sorry to state the obvious but I assume both bulbs are working?

If that's the case it could well be the switch or connector. Having jut taken mine apart to replace the bulbs I can assure you they are quite basic.

Failing that I would do some continuity testing on the wiring to ensure its working.

Don't get me wrong. I have considered this, but there is clearly an issue with the engine that needs resolving and that will only get worse if left.

Welcome to the club from a new member himself.

Nice clean car by the looks of it.

There was a lengthy discussion on this forum recently about Toyota = Denso. I paid a significant amount for it because much like yourself, I am not a patron of poo. Anyway it is yours if you want it. Peter Gidden or similar will confirm rev differences. It is certainly for NA engines, I know turbo ...

I have a brand new denso (read: Toyota) lambda sensor if you want it. It is no use to me as the beams sensor is different. I believe I paid ballpark £60 for it. Tempted. Will that fit a 1993 rev 2 N/A engine? My concern, if I am honest, is having owned a Supra for 6+ years, that non genuine Lambda ...

Thanks everyone for your sage advice.

New Toyota Lambda sensor and cat will be ordered. She will also have a thorough service too.

I think it's the joint between the exhaust manifold and flexi. The last chap put quite a bit of exhaust paste on the joint.

I will take the whole exhaust off tomorrow and see what I have.

I will make it all work!!!

Thats good to know ref the lambda.

I will give everything a good refresh with a cat and see how I get on.

The exhaust is leaking somewhere which will also undoubtably impact on the emission levels.

Hi all, Well the beater went for an MOT and failed on emissions. Not a single advisory other then this. But she failed big time! Fast Idle: Engine Speed 2350 − 2650 Not checked CO max 0.300% 4.474 FAIL HC max 200ppm 142 PASS Lambda 0.970 − 1.030 0.901 FAIL Second Fast Idle Test: ...

Do you have a side shot?

Thanks. I don't have one at the moment but will see about getting one next time it's out.

My understanding was that the wheels were £800 with tyres of eBay. Nothing special but they do suit the car.

Today I did the cancer bars. Was quite a simple job in the end. The near side was the totally rotten one, the off side was rusty but servicable. Regardless I replaced both. Took about 40 minutes to do it all. These are the old ones. http://i315.photobucket.com/albums/ll446/mwilkinson01/IMG_1854_zpsf...

Cheers Ashley. She's a little rough around the edges. But I just love the handling. I would love to try one of these with a turbo in it. Properly insane!!

A few updates. Beater is back on the road after a few weeks \:D/ I removed the whole dash and replaced all the bulbs. This is the carnage of the removed dash. Was quite straight forward really. http://i315.photobucket.com/albums/ll446/mwilkinson01/IMG_1812_zps260e0a02.jpg http://i315.photobucket.com...

Couple of pictures of the car now that I can post pictures :D http://i315.photobucket.com/albums/ll446/mwilkinson01/MR2Front_zps3fd2292a.jpg http://i315.photobucket.com/albums/ll446/mwilkinson01/MR2Side_zpsf97c851a.jpg http://i315.photobucket.com/albums/ll446/mwilkinson01/MR2Interior_zps47befe5f.jpg

Nice work.

Love those rear lights.

Please excuse my newbie question, but are they stock?

Update time: Well I had an interesting weekend. It's official my car is a beater. Hence forth she shall be known as such and the project to get her back to glory shall be Project Beater!! I managed to remove the old alternator but found that there was no lower bolt on the bracket. Thus the alternato...

Good to hear she will be fixed up though. Atleast you have a nice solid shell too. I bought this one as the owner looked like he took lots of care, said it was all solid and undersealed every year. I got home dug off the underseal and and found a huge hole in my floor. Also the entire inner rear ar...
