Hi all thanks for all your help on this board, I got this mr2 about 14 months ago as a surprise for my wife
( she always wanted a red sports car) and mr2 came to mind, Not having any previous knoledge of these cars, I had a quick look around it bodywork was pretty good, interior almost immaculate.
The seller took me for a spin and I decided to part with the best of
£1400 which I realise now was a bit high.
Drove it home 80 miles and was amazed at how these things drive, I had always had fast bikes and thought nothing could compare to myR6 but this car felt really nice, It drove home all the way lovely, I was impressed.
NOW the probs started.
.
On getting the car home I discovered she was running like a dog, after the long run the car was hunting at tickover and also had oil leaks, the seller had obviously moved it because I did check the road where it was parked and all was clean.
Anyway 14 months later and shes almost ready for the mot that she failed last year, Main probs were suspension corrosion, all the engine probs are sorted apart from a slight misfire or something, its a sort of popping sound and a slight judder of the engine at tickover that happens every 5-15 seconds, but the car runs fine when being driven and the revs stay firm??? so any suggestions would be appreciated, I have new plugs and leads so thats not the prob, but everyone who listens tells me its a slight misfire???.
I liked this car so much despite all the problems, that I have now got an mr2 for myself but needs loads of work.
Thankfully its lots bodywork which I can cope with, as the engine runs sweet
(at the mo,dont wanna speak too soon).
Anyway thanks everyone for a great board and all the decent helpful people on here.
