Welcome to the friendliest group car people around! The boot release lever I don't think was on the very early cars. My 1992 NA has one though (in the armrest along with the petrol cap release). Can't help with parts for you but what about the important stuff? What year? What colour? Just curious! G...

When are people from south of The Chateau travelling for the event? Been checking the ferrys for those travelling from the South Island and some sailings are already fully booked for the Friday heading north and the Monday evening heading south. There are still suitable sailings though. As far as I ...

Thanks for that. Will have to do the mod now and see how it works out.

Thanks for the info.
I always wondered how they worked.

I agree that it would be unlikely but thought it might be worth checking.

Mine (1998 NB) appears to have a problem as well. When going up a long steep hill quite slowly, the temperature gauge doesn't move from the normal condition, the radiator fan doesn't come on, but if I stop then it's obvious the water temperature has risen as it's gently boiling! Can't hear it from w...

Yes it's illegal and you could get 'done' for having the stick on plate, especially if whoever pulls you up has had a bad day! More important though is the possibility of losing your insurance cover as the car is not in a legal warrantable condition. I know many people do have the stick on plates bu...

Replacement masts for many vehicles are around that price and often much
more. My Nissan Terrano mast cost $120.00!!

Good luck with the sale.
I sold my Jensen Healey to go towards home ownership when I got married. It
only took 25 years to get another convertible, my first MX5! Hope it doesn't
take that long for you to return to the joys of top down motoring.

Does the plastic frame match the 5x7s to an 8" hole or is the door hole 5x7
as well? Just curious.
The Bose speakers fitted to the NB are actually 0.5 ohm impedance!

5x7? The Bose ones (in my NB) are round and definitely 8". Maybe the non
Bose ones are different?

There is a black NA here in Blenheim that belongs to a hairdresser according
to the advertising on the car. Male or female? I don't know as I have seen
both genders driving it. Most times a female driver though.

The rear brakes on my NA and NB rattled after replacement pads were fitted. I seem to remember reading somewhere that there is a small spring that stops the rattle and this is often overlooked when pads are replaced. Performance isn't affected, they rattle though and it sure is annoying! Mine still ...

The Bose one in my 1998 NB has Bose written on the head unit and on the door speaker covers. The amplifier is mounted on the transmission tunnel in front of the gear lever. I left the amp there when I replaced my Bose head unit as I couldn't be bothered removing it. Just unplugged it and used the sp...

Not one of our better days! A mad rush today to get my Isuzu Bighorn back on the road (only needs warrant and registration), remove the radio equipment from the Wizard and install it in the Bighorn. Got about 4 hours to do that then drive 8 hours (plus comfort stops) to rejoin the rally in Queenstow...

Had a problem with water in our passenger sill today as well.
Have a look here for the explanation!

Which window?

I have had success with 'superglue' when temporarily repairing some rubber
seals. As long as the surfaces are very clean it will stick well. I assume
you are concerned with a side window seal.

Lasers sometimes can lose output. This normally shows up initially as a reluctance to read burned discs while still being able to accept pressed ones. A common cause of problems though is dirt on the lens. In a car, especially an open one there is a lot of dirt floating around! A cleaner disc won't ...

Most blue bulbs (i.e. the ones with blue coloured glass) will appear to be whiter than the standard ones because of the blue filter altering the colour balance. This makes our brain interpret the colour as very white which we also think is brighter. The unfiltered bulb is yellow looking in compariso...

See above! Normally post by email (don't like posting on line) but xtra has been blocked by spamcop! I must learn to be patient when posting in the forums!

Oops. Managed to post this 3 times so edited the contents out. Would delete if I could!

On my NA I have a Perspex one. It fits into a couple of aluminium channels that are mounted using the fastener for the roof cover when the roof is down along with one of the plastic plugs that hold in some trim. These are mounted vertically behind the seat so the Perspex slots into them. The top of ...
