(First posted on MLR forum in March 2016) Had a small problem a little while back. Was sort of expecting it as it’s one of the common problems I hadn’t done yet. Spent a whole day working on the mx5 in the drive and kept getting little hints of petrol smell. Didn’t really pay too […]
(First posted on MLR forum in February 2016) Not had much to do to the evo nowadays as it’s sort of how I want it so just generally keeping on top of maintenance and the odd bits and bobs I find. An example being this hole I noticed in one of the vacuum lines. Quick […]
(First posted on MLR forum in December 2015) I’d been spending more and more time playing with the little MX5 especially as I had lots I needed to sort before we did a short driving holiday around cornwall. So the Evo was due a bit of attention including it’s usual service bits like oil, filter […]
(First posted on MLR forum in December 2015) So winter arrived and the battery started to struggle occasionally not helped by the fact I’ve been using it less. The battery brackets looked a bit tatty so I cleaned and painted them while they were off too. Another little job… I repainted all the mesh when […]

(First posted on MLR forum in October 2015) A problem I had 2-3 months ago… This must have been a gradual problem but eventually had got to a point where the car felt to be lacking a bit of grunt. So my wife and I took the Evo out one evening so she could watch […]
(First posted on MLR forum in October 2015) While undersealing the front end of the Evo I had a quick look around the suspension and brakes as I tend to do fairly regularly. I noticed one of the pads didn’t look great so I pulled it out to find it was in two pieces! They’re […]
(First posted on MLR forum in October 2015) Time to get under the front to do some rust prevention. While I was there I thought I’d check out the how well my coilover covers we working and have a peek at the brake pads. Like new in there. Happy with that. Tools inner arch coming […]
(First posted on MLR forum in October 2015) A friend wanted something fun to get him to his wedding, I was happy to oblige.
(First posted on MLR forum in October 2015) Having started work to keep rust at bay under the sills I moved on to the rear end next. As always, where required I removed any previous underseal, paint and loose stuff. Then applied Hydrate 80, before paint then waited for that to dry properly before covering […]
