Hi there guys I have been looking in on here from time to time and recently been considering the possibility of rejoining the fold. I may be letting the missus have the saab 9-3 oil burner and getting a lpg ex if I can find one at the right price. Problem is my mr2 needs plenty of attention...

Hi there guys A couple of years ago I bought an LPG kit off chris q that came off an explorer and was running fine. I had intended fitting it to my ex but never got around to it. I sold this kit as part of the deal when I sold my ex but the new owner doesn't want it now so I said i'd post...

Nationalclearancecentre got a bargain here

Well that's it, it's gone I didn't want to commit to the ford fair this year as I had an inkling that I may have to sell the truck. Basically i'm putting my house back together and the cash will come in handy for carpets and a hob and oven. randomly the guy at the carpet shop has a very...

Rear cassette Busted!!! Now Fixed Well the inevitable has happened, the plastic guide in rear cassette on my truck has broken. For a couple of months i have been getting a little rattle on start up and a clicking at idle. But in the last couple of days it has got worse. So today i thought i...

Just had my MOT and she passed :D :D Couple of advice notes; Slight play in n/s bottom ball joint (the one i replaced a couple of years ago :eek:) Slight corrosion on brake lines slightly low rear pads Whilst it was on the ramp i got him to check the fuel filler and its crusty but still...

Did a rear diff fluid change this morning. After removing the cover i was cleaning out the bottom of the diff and found a little piece of metal I found a couple of threads in the US section back from 2009 but no one seems to know what it is :eek::eek::eek:

Ok guys, today i changed the fluid in my rear diff MY98 SOHC UK explorer. I removed the cover and cleaned out the gulley and found a little disc of metal in there. After doing a search i found a couple of threads from 2009 that mentioned then but no idea of what it is. Mine has 038...

This morning I had the disappointment of not sorting the parts for the tranny problem so I decided to change the fluid on the front diff as I have been meaning to do this. A couple of weeks ago I got the gear oil and was going to do it but then I discovered there is no drain plug :rolleyes...

For the last 3 or 4 weeks i have been experiencing the classic flare when the tranny shifts from 2nd to 3rd. Now intitially i thought i may have caused it by getting some water in the tranny from driving thro a bit of flooded road. So my first point of call was to change the filter and...

Hi there guys from a cousin across the pond. 1998 4.0L SOHC 5R55E 112K Recently i have been having the 2-3 flare. I have dropped the pan and replaced the filter and fluid, and whilst the pan was off i torqued all the VB bolts (there were 3 or 4 loose). I have also done the band setting...

Just recently my brakes haven't felt up to much and i was getting what i thought was bearing noise. I poked my head under there a couple of weeks ago and jacked up the front. the bearings felt fine but i spotted the inside of both discs were corroded and hence the brakes not working properly...

The other morning i got a call from a colleague saying can i go and see if i could help. His better half had managed to pop her car into a ditch scenario and they had tried to pull it out with a ranger (with 8 people in the back) but got not enough traction. Off i trot to him and get out my...

Hey there guys and gals Well recently I have been trying to re-affix my rear demister terminal to the back window. I tried using a conductive glue, cleaning the areas with emery paper and electrical contact cleaner before hand. Now this worked in sticking the terminal back on but was not...

Well i haven't had to fix anything of note for some time now. Did the annual oil change last month but otherwise nothing. Last week i had the week off, so i thought i would takle a couple of jobs. I have had an annoying little clunk from the o/s/f. Now i have had a new ball joint and arb...

Clicky

Well if my better half had a licence i would seriously consider this Not a bad price if you ask me

So as the old girl passed the MOT yesterday i thought i would give her a good clean and polish. Not least because the other day i was out along a farm track and she got covered in cow sh*t. For well over a year all i have done is drive thro a cheap supermarket car wash and microfibre dry and...

Today i had the MOT so first thing got under her to do a quick adjust on the handbrake. Then off to the MOT and wait. Ta da Not so much as an advisory :bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce: So i'm posting to gloat really :p: Regards Jan

Well my ex has been a little neglected recently as it has been running and working well and i have been fettling the mr2. A couple of months ago the rear most hanger for the exhaust snapped off due to corrosion so i just temporarily held it up with a coat hanger :D It already had one of the...

Ha Ha Took delivfery of 2 new bridgestones about 10 days ago, (£82 for the pair, brand new ebay bargain) and got them fitted today about an hour b4 the snow started. Talk about good timing. Also last week i fitted a new sway bar link after i found one broken and what a difference, makes me...

Just a quicky to say hi all and..... Today i noticed my o/s arb link has busted ( i thought the front end was a little barge like) so i have ordered replacements for both sides. On the plus side i just sold my spare engine. That'll pay for the champagne i'm about to get :D I'm out the door Jan

Hi there guys As some of you know i'm doing a banger rally for Macmillan across europe in september. Some of the teams are fitting cb's to help with convoys and the like. Now i have no clue when it comes to these things but i thought it might be useful. So have any of you got a basic cb...
