Proud Ownder Of My First Mr2

[Hattie86]

or I will be at the weekend when I pick her up.

Hi all, I'm new here, and as the title suggests, I have never owned an mr2 - been longing for one for the last 10 or more years.

I was wondering if any one could give me some hints on what to look out for - like model specific faults, things that need regular maintainance, etc.

Shes a 1990 mkII MR2 n/a uk spec - as far as I am aware she is completely standard - and shes coming up to 142k miles. I'll get some pics up when I get her home, and give her a bath, polish and wax.

Thanks,

Az

I am a Mk1 guy so not sure specific things for the Mk2 but certain things remain.

Depending on service history i would have thought a general check around of suspension joints and rubber bushes. Whilst your under the car have a look at the brake pipes both ridged and rubber flex.

Basic stuff can be changed like engine, transmission oil and brake fluid change. The coolent additive, anti freeze (Toyota for life or equiv) is quite important to prevent corrosion in the engine and more important to the amount of pipe work running from the engine to the front of the car.

Other than that check for any bodged mods as its quite common.

Best of luck
