Morning,

I've got new calipers to fit and thinking of painting them to keep them looking a bit nicer for longer...

Wondering what peoples opinions are on what type of primer is best to use if any? Its proper caliper paint I'll be using, the calipers are new, clean bare metal but the carriers are...

Hello guys,

anyone already aware of those chaps, who are making hours of in deep how to MX5 videos? Love the idea and the dedication to it!

I don't suppose anyone has got one of these handy in the Wigan area? I've just started to change the shift boots and the metal clip that goes on the nylon washer/spacer is broken. Typical! I've got everything I need apart from that. Seems a shame t o put it back together without only to have to...

Has anyone used these or seen them before?. Just wondering if they are ok.

NGK 20 Spark Plug (x4) BKR6E-11.....as it says really. Seems cheap enough

Hi guys,
I have been trying to have my car tuned. Sadly, the local sports car "specialist tuners" can't map my engine. Hell ! I can get around my engine without one and I am 6t ish. I did not really mind people laughing my diagnostics code book and indicator led and wires. So, as I have...

Hey hey folks

Need to do some maintenance to the wing mirrors (getting very stiff to move etc) but looking at the screws holding them on they are rusted to hell and one is rounded out.

I'm drowning them in gt85 all week but if I need to persuade them out are they accessible from inside the door?...

OK here's what happened - rear blowout driver side rear, not shredded but instant deflation at around 55 / 60 followed by a few miles on the space saver to the next junction and getting a new tyre done.

What it's doing now is I have a real random clunking coming from the rear with a buzz type...

So my little one has finally succumb to the rust :cry:

Just taken her for a quote £400 each side as some up to top of rear arch as well as usual sills. To do that, respray including bumper about £1000.... which is what insurers think she is worth....

If I go for respary of back end upto front of...

Wayne promised to post advice on the best way to clean the engine and engine bay without the removal of too many ancillary parts, what's your advice Wayne ?

My mk2 has a small split at the back of one of the sills which I'm hoping to get repaired before the weather gets really bad and the gritters come out. I'm based in Gloucester and work near Stroud but I don't mind travelling a bit to get the job done right. Unfortunately my mx5 is my only car so I...

I usually put the car on the two post and either brush the stuff on or use a long wand from the rattle can if doing cavities snd sometimes a 6 in long nozzle from a rattle can for underneath the car.

I have a toy Lidl compressor with a 27 litre tank.

I was wondering if I should use that as it is...

Apologies if this has been asked and answered but I have looked in multiple places for an answer and can’t find a definitive one. I have had to drain flush and will be refilling the coolant on my 1989 Eunos roadster due to a failed T pipe on the thermostat housing.

I want to know what coolant to...

Squeaky clutch. Hot or cold, doesn't matter. Neutral or 70mph, doesn't matter. Doesn't seem to change pitch with engine speed. Only thing that makes a difference is where the clutch pedal is. If it's depressed to just before it starts slipping then the squeaking stops entirely. Anyone any thoughts...

Has anyone any experience of this?
Will it work in our mx5's?
I'm thinking of getting some for my Jeep which has a diesel engine which are prone to overheating but thought it may work in the 5 as well.

Hi All, quick question if that's ok.
I would like to remove my idle speed valve from my 1998 1.8 RS Import. Do I need to purchase a gasket for it, and can I remove it without taking off the throttle body?

Many thanks :)

I used to use a gunson pressure bleeder on my other cars with good results

Unfortunately it doesn't fit the brake reservoir on the mx5

Has anyone used a pressure or vacuum bleeder?

Recommendations?

The 2 person method is a no go

cheers
