Hi i am a new IMOC member and i love my new MK2 MR2 that i Just Bought for 1200 Pounds And i am Very Glad to be hear for help and support for myself and to help anyone else in trouble, thing is i am the one needing help at the minute. I have a Mk2 Rev 3 N/A 2.0 Gti Automatic and i am still learning how to use the Auto xxxx stick, as there is Two buttons on it MAN and PWR.. and the O/D button on shifter what / how do i use them properly and how do i Economise and save fuel when driving ?Any good advice would be much appreciated Thanks . also i live in Ayrshire Scotland and i would love to know if there is any monthy Meeting For MR2 Owners like me Nearby. And one problem i have at the moment .. I cant get the front Fog lights to work only beacause the switch is Broken.. is there a way i can buy a standard switch ( 3 Pronged ) and do a Diy electrical change? i know the original switch has 4 Prongs but most aftermarket switched ON/OFF only have 3 Prongs can anyone tell me how to re-wire a new switch on to get my front foglights on Please?

why cant you get the front fog from a scrapyard , it is easiler that way,

and are you sure it is the switch that is broken ? not something else like fuse or relay

Ihave new problem. when the car starts up there is a lot of condensation build up inside the car windows and i was worried if the head gasket might be on its wasy out. when i put the auto air vents to re-circulate this happens and when i put it on to direct airflow it dosent build condensation.. also the car heats up very quickly and the air fron heaters is very hot.!!. even when i turn the heat down to the coldest settin the air is still warm.. not as warm but not cold either! is the head gasket on the way out? or somthing else? how do i protect it?

recirc = condensation so use the fresh air setting all the time. If you have a t-bar then it's likely leaking hence the condensation issues. Mine did this til I fixed it but it's an ongoing issue. How is the engine temp, if it's steady then I believe the gasket is ok but you'd be best posting that question in the mechanical section .

if it is too quick rasing temperture, does it over heat ?
and how quick is too quick ?

themosat may be struck on close

is radiator warm when dash say hot ?

Just asking if you have air con (hence the "auto" question), in any Toyota I've had with air con (most others in fact) condensation is quite bad unless air con is switched on and never use re-circ, I never figured out why properly, might not be related though. How quick does your car warm-up? Give us some clues with minutes or miles driven. Agree with Alan though better placed in mechanical.

Have you checked out price for a new switch from Toyota if you think it's that -surprising how many folk look for parts without checking stealership first, it's definately easier, sometimes not expensive otherwise post up a wanted ad -think I gave my switch away years ago. Front fogs are pointless in my oppinion.
