Hi all.
Am I alone in thinking that the horns on the Mk2 sound, well....., terrible?
Has anyone directly replaced them with some others that sound much better and can be got from the breakers?
If so, which make, model and year of car did they get them from?
Thanks if you can help

[quote="HighwayStar"]Do you not need the rev 5 archliners as well? R.[/quote] I fitted a pair to my Rev2 without any problems - Just need to line up and carefully mark and drill three holes in the liner and then fit them up with some short black coach or roofing bolts. You'd never know the...

What a bargain this is !
Around £50 for a set of custom made Speedhut dials for your Mk2, with a free inverter and free shipping. (Normally about the £85 mark)
Be quick though, it's the last day today, Sunday

Do the Lockwood instructions advise you take off the original dials?
If so, did you cut them or remove the needles?
Cheers

There's a cheap Haynes Manual on eBay for a Mk1.
Ends on Sunday 16th. Could be a bargain for someone.
Absolutely nothing to do with me in any way.

I recently bought a complete used headlamp unit for my UK 1994 N/A Mk2 Rev2 only to discover it did not have the headlamp level motor and associated parts. I didn't know there was any diference between them all. Which models was this fitted to so that I can avoid repeating this mistake when I try to...

Thanks for that info.
Anyone fitted spacers to the front?

Anyone fitted hub centric spacers behind Rev5 wheels with standard suspension setup?
If so. what size and from where?
Cheers

What on earth are MR2 owners doing in a store like ...............Lidl ????
Wouldn't let mine be even seen in the car park.

Believe I've read before that 5mm is the max you can use without fitting longer studs. That may not be correct though. Why not try putting 10mm thickness of washers on your present studs and then try tightening up the nuts onto the wheel ? It will give you some idea how many turns the nuts will make...

Yes, car has to be 15+ years old. With my Insurer, 6 photos have to be sent to them for approval. Any changes made that do not show on the photos, (should you make a claim), and your insurance is invalid. Any mod at all has to be declared at the time of change. Driver has to be 25+ years old. To get...

[quote="01smiffy"]Is it best to replace both sides whilst i am am doing the job?[/quote] Definitely ....... Most of the time is taken taking off and replacing the undertrays, so you don't want to do it again when the other side fails. Furthermore, you're more likely to obtain equal action ...

Which one item is a Mk2 most likely to fail the MOT on?

I think it's brakes, especially the handbrake.

What do you think, or have experienced ?

If your problem is seized handbrake cables, I replaced mine today. Bit of a fiddle underneath the car but it all worked out OK and I can now park and be sure it won't run away ! Got a couple of QH cables with brackets from my local factor for £52, and used the link guide below. If you have a few too...

Thanks for the response everyone.
Made a few phone calls and finished up with a pair of Quinten Hazell cables with brackets for £52 collected.
Now fitted and I can at last park on a gradient ! !

Has anyone recently purchased brake cables for a UK rev2 ?
If so, who from, how much and did they fit OK ?
Many thanks.

You're a mere lad dear boy !
I bet I'm the oldest on here, so keep trying everyone.
If you really are older than me I'll own up !

I'm so old (More than anyone has admitted so far) I can't bring myself to put it down in black and white, but I really enjoy my Two in a solitary kind of way ! All you youngsters wouldn't want me around at meets I guess.

The upside?

Fully comp insurance is £154 a year !

Maybe it's just me, but I'd steer well clear of that!
Could well be trading on your enthusiasm to have your car featured in a mag, (We would nearly all like that), and when you get there who knows what will happen ?

I know it may be considered a bit girly, but do you have a name for your Two ?

Mines called Martee !
