Good point. My na8 was an auto so I didn't have that issue

Are the lenses dull on your lights? that will make them not work well. If so get a lens polish kit and clean them up. Will make a huge difference in my experience.

I had one of these in my NA, found it excellent.
Was a guy bringing them in but dont know of anyone with them now.

WHat Keith said, The leads are the same for the NA & NB 1.6 and 1.8 (except for the VVT NB)

if the central locking is aftermarket, they have a connector that attaches to the actuator rod and uses 2 screws to lock it in place. these can move over time so you may need to reset the position of it.

Its all about volume. When you are selling to a market with hundreds of millions of people, you will sell more cars so can make a lower profit on each one. When you are selling to a market of 4 million you will sell stuff all so hike the profit margin to sell even less How the hell does the price go...

WOT he said
If you dont have compressed air, last resort is to remove the plugs and let the water drain down down the spark plug holes, then reassemble and the water will burn off/come out through the exhaust.

Depends on which year they came from. Up to 01 uses db1282 and 01 on uses db1386

OK,That makes sense now thanks Peter, any idea where I can purchase them from at a decent rate? Unfortunatly not. I have only one left, my usual supplier of them has gone to sealed beams for some unknown reason so i no longer have a supplier for the cheap semi sealed, only the expensiver Narva ones...

The standard headlight is a sealed beam (bulb is part of the lamp and not replaceable, replace whole light when blown)
The semi sealed lamp has a replaceable h4 bulb. Some semi sealed lamps include a bulb, but most dont so they need to be purchased also when the semi sealed lamps are purchased.

Palm springs is a pool across the road from the main parakai pools. It was a bit run down but always quieter thN the big pool. It has been refurbished recently so i do t know what its like now.

I got our cup holder from a guy who advertised in the mx5 club magazinne, but stopped some time ago. I think he brought a few in from the states and sold them to cover the cost of the one he wanted for himself.

Dont try the wagner brand semi selaed lamps from repco. They are to thin and flop around once fitted. I supplied 2 to a customer and then supplied him 2 white box brand ones that i had fitted to my car that fit perfetly. BNT used to sell them but have gone to sealed beams now and no longer sell them...

Strangley enough i was in a customers workshop today and heard him pass a car on a wof with a borderline tyre, he said " it passes as the tyre is just within limits today, but it wont last till the next wof so you will need to get it replaced before then". So it sounds like he would have passed your...

As best i recall from when i had my wof ticket several years ago the wof inspection is a snap shot at the time of inspection. I dont believe the inspector would be able to give you the manufacturers minimum lining thickness as stated in number 23, but, they are airing on the side of your safety so y...

Or if the relay is disconnected or the pop up circuit is otherwise broken

Pop the bonnet and on each headlight motor you will see a black rubber cover on top, remove that and there is a knob to manually wind the lights up or down. From memory the knob is red with direction arrows on the top
