What did you do to your MX5 today ?

These little bubbles are along the rear rim of the roof...... just not sure if it's worth trying to sort it out now - or wait til next year (should have done it before putting the roof on the car, but I didn't! (They aren't as bad as I thought).

If they're anything like the ones on mine it's gone to dust under the paint, if you do sand them don't use heavy grit sandpaper or most likely you'll have to re paint the roof
By the way, car looks good with the roof on

A Busy day today.

-Changed the gearbox oil.
-Changed the diff oil.
-Cleaned up the alloys with wheel cleaner.
-Washed the car.
-Cried about needing a new soft top.

A nice day to be working on the car - nice jobs done (except for crying about the soft top!).

Purposefully opened the garage, walked in, and walked around the car for about two minutes.


Left the garage and locked it.


That's it.



And it felt good.

Jump started the car (well, it hadn't been started for about a month) and went for a drive........ and LOVED it (and reminded me why I really enjoy having a MX5).


Then got around to getting my finger out and fitting the new front number plate. The existing plate was chipped at the corner:

Plus, I didn't like the way it looked, sitting up above the body line (I felt it took away from the smooth front end). Sooooo, new plate put on just at the bottom of the swage(?) line.

Sometimes it the small things that make one smile

Plate looks good, pity they couldn’t be 10/15% smaller.
Taxed mine today so now it’s officially back on the road after it’s rust repair/ re spray,hopefully get a bit of use out of it

[mrges]

Now you have it taxed, clean and shiny, get out there and enjoy!

Car has not been starting the last week.. so I went through all the posible electric tricky... symptoms were turn the key and nothing.. no dash lights, no click on from the starter. Lights, radio and fan all worked fine. Good battery.. and the starter would turn over when bridged.. I cleaned the ignition switch, neutral switch and checked every fuse and relay and earth in the car.. I the back of my mind I suspected the aftermarket alarm and immobiliser so I said fec it and ripped it all out. Fired up first time and I swear it's running better. My idle droop is definitely gone which has been driving me nuts since for ever.. happy days. Only down fall is I now have no alarm and immobiliser, I have to get that sorted

[mrges]

That's great, Ray.... a success! Funnily enough, when I got Stripey the battery would drain relatively quickly if left. There was an alarm fitted (but not working), so I decided to take it all out too, and now I can leave the car for longer periods and it fires up fine and dandy.

BTW..... just so you know, I think there are dedicated web sites that sell tablets to help you with that idle droop.....

[Real Rayzor]

Ha... must the name of those tablet's. ..
