:( Does anyone have any idea how to go about terminating the source of the noise which is emitted whenever the the MR2 Red vehicle is put into reverse? I am tired of waking the whole neighbourhood at 2:00 in the morning!

I think he's on about a roadster

hope this helps!

Easy...

Get your wire cutters out.

You need to lower the steering column on its height adjuster, and then pull off the instrument hood - the bit with the speedo and rev counter. Just grasp the cover either side of the rev counter and pull.

You then need to unscrew the instrument panel, theres one screw at top and 2 at bottom. This will then pull forward enough to get at the three electrical connectors.

On the biggest connector, the white one on the right hand side going into the instrument panel, theres a red wire with a blue stripe. Its on the top row, 3 in from the left hand side as you look at the connector. Cut it, tape the free ends with insulating tape, and reinstall everything.

No more bleeping. Of course there is now the chance that sitting at the lights in the not to distant future you will inadvertantly drop the clutch and end up going in the wrong direction.

Thanks for all your help.

PS - Does anyone else own one of these things...? (MR2 Roadster RED 1.8 VVti,6 speed gearbox) latest 2004/05 model - would be interested to know how you are getting on....mine's starting a mysterious rattle from underneath the engine after less than a years ownership. Probably due to the extrodinarily stiff suspension.
