  • Re: Mk1 Rear Lights swap

    I can't believe it's come round so darn quick. It only feels like 5mins ago! I'm sorry fella but my itchy trigger finger has purchased me a set of lights already! Will have mine for sale when the new ones are installed so will let you now then in case you're interested in the black ones.

    Hi John, Is it Nurburgring time again already? Where did that year go?! I will sort a picture this weekend for you. Could you likewise do the same with yours? I'd rather do a swap a swap without the use of couriers/post, but thanks anyway Ian. Cheers, Rael

  • Mk1 Rear Lights swap

    I am considering a change of look for my car, and am looking to swap my black "lexus" style ones for a set of standard lights. Mine are in very good condition, no cracks or fading and I would be looking for a set of similar quality. Meeting up to swap would obviously be the easiest option, as opposed to sending etc. I am based near ...

    Ooooooooooh I wonder if mine has that printed on the front too, that would be nice. Was it easy to fit?

  • Re: Mk1 steaming from front

    Ordered a new one from MX5 Parts and it should be arriving today so that's my plans for Saturday sorted lol Also ordered some bonnet lifters while I was there. Bit naughty but something possessed my hand and the mouse clicked and added it to the basket. No idea how that happened...at least that's the official story!

    Nope, never had a problem with cooling at all. Coped OK going round the 'ring last year too, so I guess an upgrade would be pointless. Good advice Sir.

    Thanks Victor, good advice. It will have to be a weekend job though, probably this Saturday, as I won't be able to look at it during the week. I was just looking on MX5 PArts and noticed a very nice looking high-flow unit and was considering that as a possible upgrade, any thoughts on these?

  • Re: Mk1 steaming from front

    OK the diagnosis is in: it's definitely the radiator. I opened the bonnet, and turned the engine on. After about 30 secs it became apparent where the water was coming from. There is a hairline crack that's developed on the top plastic part, just behind the top up neck. Looks like old age has got the better of it and it's finally given ...

  • Re: Mk1 steaming from front

    Thanks for the replies guys. It's definitely not condensation, there was proper water visible so I know for sure there is a leak. I will check on the colour but it's not black, I think it's green or grey but will check and come back. Sounds like a new rad would be a good bet at this point then. I was going to treat her to something ...

  • Mk1 steaming from front - (turns out radiator is cracked on the plastic top part)

    Hi All - well I am glad I have not had to post in here for a loooong time, but alas today my little car is having a little issue. Having passed it's MOT Saturday, this morning as the sun was out I drive it to work and while in traffic, I noticed steam coming from the front of the car. Not a huge amount, not like plumes, but enough to just ...
