What did you do to your MX5 today ?

[anniniwa]

I changed the side reflector bulbs to clear today (fingers still suffering frostbite). Only bulbs the motorfactors had were 5watt which I bought anyway..they are fine however wonder if you can get a higher wattage or even should I bother? Also, not that I care, are they legal?

These arrived by courier today, got them from buypartsby before the uk VAT increase.........I look forward to getting them on.

mx5parts, my front disks needed renewing.. was just going to renew them and replace the rear passenger side piston seal.
Then saw a set of mk2.5 Sport brakes for sale.. they just needed rear pads and front disks. Will have to wait for the weather to warm up a bit before I install tho'.

With the hint of Spring in the air today (lovely day here ), I said i'd sort that slooooooooooooooooooooooooow drivers door lekky window - took the door panel off -


eased away the plastic to get access to the runners -

Then cleaned and re-greased the runners, the windows going up nice,fast and smooth now

All back on bar 1 scew and cap

Anyways, worth doing and only a 10 min job if you have sloooooooow windows.

Then i took the car for a blast to clear the pipes! lol

Did you do it with the mechanism in-situ? When I did mine I took the whole lot out in order to get a good look at how it worked..probably would have been easier if I left them in the door

Anyhow, roll on next Saturday, hope the sun is shining like today!!

Just did much the same job as Stigmeister today, but on my 'other' car. Window was sticking just less than at maximum height. Took it all apart, took the motor and scissors out of the door panel.

Wwas hoping to find something just needed adjusted or oiled but... nooooo, that would have been too east. The scissor/ratchet thing has lost a couple of teeth. Parts from main dealer (UK) are around 500STG incl the motor, so I am trying to source just the scissor part. Expecting to pay 200STG I guess.

Tomorrow, if the sun be with me, I will install a GPS tracking system into the car (thanks Stevo).

[Stig]

a feck yeah, I see the missing teeth there Frank, bugger

Was a great day to get some jobs done.
