    Your very trusting leaving that TZR on the driveway, I did that once and it wasn't there in the morning

    What are your plans for the MR2 ?

        whats probably worse than the tzr is my new bike is next to it!! i have a good set up of a cctv camera with a really loud buzzer attached to it that goes off if someone comes up the drive!!! i used to work for a cctv company so had a few good quality bits when i left hehe,

        as for the plans for the mr2 it passed the mot today with nothing unexpected, one advisory was for the brakes unbalanced by 28% of a 30%limit or something!! thats the first thing and then rolling road before making plans!! not sure what do other than that at the moment!

            Not being funny mate but im an MOT tester an da legal limit for front brake imbalance is 25%, if ur car is 28% it shouldnt have passed.

            Also having driven a car with an imbalance of around 28-30%, and nearly put it in a hedge after a brake stomp id advise u get ur brakes looked at! Hope this has bin helpful.

            Anyway its a nice car hope u enjoy it.

              the figures i gave were what i thought he said may not have been the exact figures, it was about 3 percent below being a fail and i will definately be getting it done as soon as money permits, or i look myself, but in the meantime its not being driven, thanks for ur advice anyhow.

                I wonder what it is about MR2's and brakes ?

                When I got Elaines one, the front brakes were 90% not working, got them overhauled and now the rears are playing up, and the fronts are making a noise
