I know that this is the wrong forum, and Mr Moderator will probably move it but, has anyone got a spare set of S5 rear light clusters. ie the round reflector ones? Mine are crappy rectangular type.

its not a 1991 cab is it ?

yes it is a 91 cab, or was not much left now. i will get a price off him for the lights and let you know cheers mark

is it in a scrap yard - or someones house ??

you didnt notice if it had the rad still in ???

Ref the lights, i can´t use the cabrio lights on a coupe. If any coupe ones pop up, please let me know.

the car is at someones house which looks like a scrap yard.his name is oscar give him a call about the rad as he may still have it. the car was put in as part ex but the engine was out already but most of the bits came with the car. car has only done 55,000 and looked in very good nick but he wanted too much fir it as it was so i stripped most of the body work off. his number is 07860850756 cheers mark .

blimey - so you have been a busy boy then :)

i have mailed him - but i might give him a ring later

you didnt notice if it had the leather seats in did you ?

what bits have you taken ?

i keep thinking that it would be cheaper to buy another rx as a spares car - just no where to keep one

thanks for the number though

Stu

I\'m guessing the bonnet\'s gone, if not drop me a PM as I may be interested (I\'ve already got an ally bonnet, but a spare can\'t hurt :p )

im sure the bonnets gone - i asked that aswell :)

but then again - not sure

im just texting him now :)

have asked about bonnet !

If you trype in Rx7 on ebay theres normally a guy selling the JDM round rear light clusters.  
 There usually around £65

bonnet has gone and his rad has the same prob as mine

its getting serious now - i sooooo tempted to just get shut :(

don\'t do it! You\'ll only miss her when she\'s gone!

OK so you do incur some costs with Rex ownership and things go wrong, (I\'m looking down the barrel of circa £2500 at the moment for work that needs doing) but its all worth it when you put your foot down!

After all, what\'s the alternative drive round in a Mondeo??? - Mark desperatly tries to bait Si with insults about his current mode of transport- :bandit

dont speak to me about mondeo\'s , i snapped the cambelt on the girlfriends about 5 weeks ago

so i had to buy here another car then - sheeesh - its all spend spend spend

and no money to do it with

if i sell it , then yes i will be very very sad - but i\'ll just stick the bike back on the road and use that

it just seem to be a calamity of probs at this moment in time :(

Tell me about it! I\'m also having to pay for my wedding in September (god knows where that\'s going to come from!!!). But Still not letting the Rex go, I\'ve put too much time & effort into that car!

If yours need work, you\'ll never get what you want for it, may as well do what you can youself and keep it off the road for a while, do the work gradually doesn\'t put huge holes in you bank account that way - just lots on little ones! :rolleyes:

yeah i know what you mean

never tried welding before - i wonder if fully comp insurance covers me for acidentally tourching it ?

The mate I\'m working on the LHD with was saying he\'s thinking about buying a MIG welder, he used to do a bit of welding on his old XR2 when he was at uni, says it isn\'t too difficult once you get into the swing of it, best to practice on old bits of sheet metal first to get a feel for getting the lines straight!

have just borrowed a MIG welder - so that helps :)

got loads of bits/scrap to practice on - so agin this is a start

i dont know how neat it needs to be though for the MOT - or are they just bothered about it being solding ?

its what to do first though - do i do the welding - or fix the rad ?

welding is free to thats a plus point - but both jobs are a biggie

i dont know - everything seems to be going against me at this moment in time

i need a rx7 group hug :D

I\'m sure Si has a suitable Smiley, but consider this an RX7 Group hug!

How bad is the leak in the Rad, does it need replacing? If so, have a dig with the welder! I\'m not sure on the regs for the MOT, I suspect being a solid weld is far more important than how it looks, also once it\'s welded whack some waxoil on the underside and you won\'t be able to see if the weld looks a bit messy as long as everything that needs welding is done!

the rad - the top has split on the plastic ( where the part number is ) - well its leaking out from under there - so its splattering anti freese all over the top of the engine - and its starting to run a bit warm now - very bad news - so that needs fixing

the welding - yeah i think im just gonna have a play - its just one is the front jacking point - so that could be interesting

and one of the other holes is a fair size and i can see wires thru it  :eek:

so on that i assume i have to rip half the interior out

everything sounds like a big job and no time for it

cheer up mate i think i\'ve got a rad some were i\'ll pull it out and have a look at the condition of it. whens the next northwest meet. when you do the welding dont forget to disconect the battery otherwise you will blow the ecu up, that might just push you over cheers mark.

thanks matey - i spoke to the chap who is breaking the TII Cab and his has the same problem

the next meet is in 4 weeks time , but if you do have one im very happy to travel to pick it up

the welding - yeah thanks for that matey - i could picture the new thread in a few weeks

"ECU blown and how to remove foot shaped dent in drivers door"

thanks again guys :) :) :)

the rad looks ok so best thing to do is for you to try it on yours just to make sure. i will be going over to manchester next week to pick some new seats and bits off Sam when they arrive so will arrange to meet you somewhere.    cheers mark

THATS FANTASTIC NEWS !! :) :) :) :) :) :)

so when are you looking to be going to manchester then ?

best idea is to tell me when and where you are coming from and i will have a look at a map and work out a good place to meet that isnt out of your way !

Best new i have heard today :) :) :)

see Grinder mate, it\'s not all bad after all :D

awwwwwwwwww its really made my day :)

thanks MRC Forum :wave :D :D

n ice to see a T11 thats not awaiting a rebuild. seeing you trying so hard at rotorstock to beat that red s3 got me back to working on mine again. The parts off sam are coming over from japan so soon as they come i will be coming over from wakefeild to stockport but if you need it earlier i only live near the M1/ M62 junction. or are you going to the thorsby meet next week (japs outdoors meet). let me now.

the guy who kept beating me was the next door neighbour :(

according to autoroute you are about 66 miles away - so its not that bad at a push

where is this meet that you mentioned - is it towards lancs or more westly??

i could do with it sooner rather than later to be perfectly honest - as the car is off the road completly at the moment - and the welding can actually wait till sept when the MOT is due

im scared to use the car at the minute as if it gets hot - its panic time

BIG THANKS AGAIN though matey - i really really appreciate it

ahhh but dont get too close lol
Si

Hi scooby si,
                    all part of T11 ownership let me now when you need some help. Grinder the show is just south of Doncaster off the A1 at Thorsby Hall. It was a good little show last year, CClive and the rest of the gang were their. If you want to pick up this rad over the weekend then the best time for me is around 6 pm any day sat or sun, any day next week but it will after be around 8 pm as i work for myself  as well as trying to sort out my car cheers mark.

can you PM me your number and the such like and an address ??

i need to speak to the better half to work out the best times etc.. as we will end up bringing the little un and she needs feeding every few hours :)

im sure her last feed is about 7:30 - so yeah 6 pm could be fine

i will speak to her today and let you know for defo when we can make it

big thanks again :)

and si - ewwwww hes one of them 3rd gen owners ( well i say that with a pinch of salt - i think its spent more time in the garage than in his possession !! )

Quotewell i say that with a pinch of salt - i think its spent more time in the garage than in his possession !!

That\'s what happens when you drive into stationary objects!

Sorry Si, I know you\'ve been dying to have the car back but the opportunity to comment on the incident was too compelling!

it was not stationary i personally believe the barriers parents had done a very bad job of raising their evil but slightly solid :( barrier in that he never looked left or right b4 crossing the road so it was beyond my control i had to fek him up!!!! lol
Si (it wasn\'t me baby)

i may have found a radiator ! - so can we put this on hold ( although it does invlove buying a whole TII )

John - i should have some S5 lights from a coupe - what you willing to pay for them ( god knows about shipping them mind you )

Let Me Know

Stu

Quoteit was not stationary

yes, I can see the famous insurance explanation now: \'I ran into a stationary barrier coming in the opposite direction!\'

:rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin

that was nothing i was getting in a nervous sweat trying to do the drawings of the incident without argh pen nearly erm arrrr drawing a smilie! (http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/mittelgrosse/medium-smiley-091.gif) lol
