Calling all motors and motorsport fans. I guess there's a few here!

Just a message to say that I have recently put together a photography web site about motors and motorsport that you may be interested in taking a look at - nigelbuckner.photography

I also have a few blogs posted. I would really...

I have, as well as a Mk1, a Nissan Qashqai with keyless entry that does not open the car doors when the entry button on the door handles is pressed. It is an intermittent problem as it does work some times. I have changed the battery in the key fob many times so it isn't that the battery is dead....

The good lady got her third Suzuki Jimny in November and we bought a new one as we keep them around 8 to 10 years.

Readers will have seen the pictures of the Mk4 underside in late 2015 and they are here.

Lets have a look at a new 2016 Suzuki Jinmy and in my opinion different versions of not...

Friend turned up with his very neat 1997 Jaguar X300 V8 and I could smell the brakes.

Put it on the lift and took of the front nearside wheel.

The wheel did not want to come off, therefore when we got the wheel off, I cleaned the mating surface of the wheel and wire brushed the ring on the hub...

I did a search on this but what I found was from a couple of years ago and I wondered if things had moved on or peoples opinions had changed.

The Nevada should be heading up to our local race preparation outfit (Falkland) for geometry setup. We have replaced bushes, dismantled suspension etc so it...

I have two tickets for the final round of BSB on 16 October 2016 face value £27 each I will sell them for £50 for the pair plus postage.

I tried to get a refund but they don't do refunds I have an email from them saying that I can transfer them to anyone I want so anybody who wants them can have...

I have been against using those tall drawer tool cabinets as I have a garage that is not open to the public therefore no need to secure my tools if the outside garage door is locked.

I tend to have my tools on peg boards to easily access them.

The problem is you run out of handy wall space and...

aug 2016 097.jpg Loading some pics of our MX5's i found this. Happy days from back in the early 90's low flying across a dutch field in my much missed 2.8i

Local garage has a Clio Williams up for sale 14500€ (12200£) ...
sold my last 205 gti 1.9 a few years ago for 2800€ ... they are selling for 8500€ (7150£) ...

this seems ridiculous

Well, with it being nearly MOT time for the MX and the VW, thought it prudent to check them over, not that the MX really needed it as she is running, stopping and staying stopped fine (handbrake)

Now my hearse (Passat Estate) is running fine, stopping fine but struggled to stay stopped the other...

I have a chap that as bought a chopper which was a build, and is having nothing but issues with the electrics, he had a so called wish he was a spark and as fudge it, taking lives from the coil pack so running like a bag off crud, he as asked if i would re-wire her for him, now i would need to...

Link on Facebook. Well done Mission Motorsport :handgestures-thumbup:

Hi folks!
Not long after i bought my mk2 last year i had the flickering (soon to be constantly on) ABS warning light.
Checked diagnostics and it was front left failure! :eek:
Thanks to the write ups on here i had the confidence to remove the offending broken one (completely destroying it in the...

A few of the interesting cars I have owned over the fifty years I have been driving. Unfortunately I don't have photos of some of my earlier ones such as the TR3A and the early Sprite, or of the AC 2 Litre saloon. I do wish I had kept some of them! However,...

Hi Guys,

Not sure if this is the right place as it could be in Parts Wanted, MX Chat or here. I'm having to have rethink on my Exocet interior for the IVA and need to cover the centre tunnel to save me some IVA grief. I want something neutral and in keeping with the stripped out look. Plain black...

A few of us take part in motorsport whether track days or more serious racing.
Our ability to do this could be stopped if people who move into area near an active track then complain about the noise & complaint is upheld. Please have a look at this petition & sign if you agree with it....

Maybe one for Andrew to go alongside the chrome MK2

Go on you know you need these in your life :lol:

Hi Menders,

I'm curious. Being completely ignorant about offset if these wheels would fit a MK2.5 with big brakes. They are 8" with an offset of 20, here's the link

Cheers

Bit of a longshot, but ToysAuto ( - useful source of mx/yapanese uprated bits) seem to have totally vanished? Their site is gone, and there's no google listing I can see anymore - anyone here know anything? :think:

Thankfully it wasn't an MX-5 museum...

Wow!

Does anybody know if the fitment for the big bolt-in 80A 'Main' fuse is a fairly standard affair (apart from the rating)? Or are the fitments different across models/manufacturers?
