Which method did you use to paint the letters in the cam cover?

by **peteh** » Mon, 28 Mar 2011 7:12 +0000

the painstakingly slow cocktail stick method!!

Also did up the original rocker in silver should I fancy a change of look in the engine bay

What did I do to my mx5 today? I took an angle grinder to it ( which had been stripped for parts) and now I've got a massive 3d jigsaw puzzle of a '91 mk1 mx5 1.6, red..NOT pink..... in my garden :mrgreen:

Neighbours are not impressed :twisted:

I replaced the bonnet release cable, Yeah
Now the headlights won't go down, Boo

Anybody know where the relay is?

by **mx5ash** » Wed, 30 Mar 2011 6:48 +0000

Prob a fuse not a relay, relay is pass side of engine bay by firewall under a cover iirc. Search fuse diagram on here and you Should find a translation, sure I put it up before.

Got them working. I took the console off and radio out and it must have jiggled a bad connection. What a rats nest of wires between the immobilizer and the radio I will clean it up eventually.

Fixed fog lamp wiring (duff relay + wiring)
4 new tyres fitted, Uniroyal Rainsport 2 from www.blackcircles.com (they were out of stock in 205 45 R16 on camskills).

by **Neil_Ireland** » Thu, 31 Mar 2011 8:45 +0000

Fitted refurbished oe wheels and michelin pilot tyres, cleaned up the roof too.
Lots of jobs for tomorrow, diff bushings, timing belt kit, diff and gearbox oil, braided brake and clutch hoses and fresh brake fluid.

by **jaybond** » Thu, 31 Mar 2011 8:56 +0000

Took the wood trim around the gearshift off. I'm trying to figure out if I can make a replacement, fix the cracks in this one, buy a new one or find an old one for sale.

Continued to pour money into my baby.....

Got a new alternator put in
Replaced the brand new battery it destroyed (although that's under warrantee, so not so bad)
Stripped out the 10 year old alarm system that was acting up and draining power intermittently
Got a new Cobra alarm fitted at great expense..... seems good, anyone any feedback? (bit late now though!)...
Discovered my clutch is on the way out

grrrrrr
