Whether this is a design fault or not I don't know but there is a steel pipe coming from an aluminium unit. Naturally, the steel rots (eventually) and the cost of a replacement part is in excess of £120. Removing the water inlet pipe it is possible to take out the steel pipe from the aluminium...

I want one of these!

Or do I?

I read quite a long thread over the weekend on Nutz posted by by BLiNK Motorsport (thread here ). These guys are in Cheshire so not too far away and apparently they prepare and maintain cars for one of the MX5 racing series.

According to the information they posted they do a couple of...

I've been thinking about DRLs for awhile and having seen some on another MK2.5 under the number plate and how bright they are, decided to look into it further.

I wanted something that looked fairly standard fit and found some interesting replacement foglights units.
I have just ordered what I...

After driving through heavy rain last night in the dark on motorway and unlit B roads, I would like to improve the performance of the headlights. I have done a search on Forum but could not find anything (poor searching on my part).

A while ago now I decided that the dash top on our MKI was looking a little bit tatty, now I am not an upholster by any means but thought I would give it a try.

I ordered from ebay an automotive grade leather hide that was already perforated. I didnt want to take the dash out so I made a template...

Here`s an alternative Retro look interior mirror for anyone like myself who`s too tight / sensible to buy a genuine KG Works or similar.

Keep an eye on Ebay for a Lucas dipping mirror as fitted to early E Types & Daimlers etc. I paid £12.49 but you`ll have to be lucky to find one that cheap...

I always thought the windscreeen surround on a Mk3 convertable should be black, especially also on the folding roof ones with a black roof.

Not being brave enough to paint it I decided on a wrap. I was quoted £70 -£120 to wrap it

So......in true mender fashion I bought the wrap of ebay (£6.99...

I've picked up a set of leather trim from Redline Goods in the states for covering the centre console and the radio bezel. I'm aware that doing the instrument cluster is a right bitch of a job (that's on the list to-do). Just wondering if anyone's either done something similar themselves or knows...

With plenty of leather left over from doing the dash I decided to give my speaker covers an upgrade. I got rid of the original metal mesh and have used a couple of vent rings to tidy things up.

I would like to request a FAQ on how to fit fog lamps onto a Mk2.5

This is something I have been wanting to do for yonks, and is something that should not be hard to achieve, but (for me atleast) I cant find a straight forward answer as to how to go about this. Yes there is tonnes of information...

I have had a lot of owners asking about this,so they can fit a KG works mirror?
But this one came around because the wrong windscreen had been fitted ,so using a standard mirror with all the bits.

First off you will need to remove the interior light, which you can re-route to the early type dash...
