Re: water in the battery tray?
Don't know, carpet looked dry. The bolts on the hardtop fixing bracket felt wet underneath, which may be condensation but I'll try sealing around there. Only other place I can think of is where the battery vent goes to the outside

Re: water in the battery tray?
It's the standard Panasonic
Looks like too much to be condensation alone

water in the battery tray?
I've got a mk2
Battery is on it's way out so I pulled it out tonight to try and charge it a bit
The battery tray has about 1cm of standing water in it

Any ideas?

Battery time
I know it's been done to death, but I'm looking for a battery that will fit the Mk2 without any need for modifications
I can't afford the panasonic, and I don't trust the wesco
Are there any batteries from bosch etc that are the same dimensions as the original?
cheers

Re: Vacuum or pressure brake bleeder?
I tried a sealey vacuum one today
Still holding judgement on it
The gunson used to work great on my other cars, this vacuum one takes ages
I think it sucks air through the thread on the bleed nipple

Vacuum or pressure brake bleeder?
I used to use a gunson pressure bleeder on my other cars with good results
Unfortunately it doesn't fit the brake reservoir on the mx5
Has anyone used a pressure or vacuum bleeder?
Recommendations?
The 2 person method is a no go
cheers

Re: Front brake getting hot
Not sure which way to go. It looks like the rear of the disc is lipped and grooved, so I was thinking new discs and pads too, so that would be a full front brake kit Or do I ignore the lip and get a recon caliper and a set of front pads? Yes mm the sliders are nice and free, it can only be the pisto...

New caliper time?
I've done the brake maintenance on the how to thread
The disc seemed to be moving ok
Just been for a drive and that wheel's red hot again
