looks very clean

my leccy ariel works

Lovely example. I\'m in the same boat with the ariel. Looks like a really nasty job to do too. Got a DAB Ariel in the front window.

Look forward to seeing it in the flesh

where does your rev counter needle sit when the engines not running?
silly question i know but i want to check mine as it has been pulled apart a couple of times (going to check it when the car goes in for a tune up so as longs as im close!!)

thanks

@Mark
Engine off,rev needle on zero
Ignition on,but engine off,rev needle on zero.
@ shaunwill,
Ariel on 79 rex works perfect,but theres an aftermarket manual ariel on 85 rex.
I think you have to take the light cluster out to get at it,looks like lots of swearing & skin off knuckles job!

@smokeygsi,
Dont suppose you wanna swap your leccy ariel for my manual one & take the strain off your rex\'s battery?
Think of your alternator & the wiring loom frying by using your ariel?
Really,its a generous offer,think about it!:Laugh

Thanks i thought it should sit a 0 maybe my idles a little low:D
yes the easiest way to change the ariel is to take the light cluster out then you have a top nut and three inside the car from memory its not to big a job its finding a ariel thats the problem!!

Great stuff Stuart.
Looks like the handbrake wants a tweak up from inside the lever cover. Do you know how to do it, it\'s easy?
And why isn\'t the rear ashtray fully shut??!!

@mark
I think Mazdatrix sell the correct ariels.
@David
Sarcasm about the rear ashtray!Ive closed it now!
Is the handbrake lever too high?I wouldnt know,it works fine on a steep drive.
I must get more of a life,today i started cleaning the underside of the car,so its red & not mucky black!
Windows getting slow,sprayed silicone spray down the runners,they wizz up & down now!
I\'m looking into getting the wheels refurbed,so will let you know costs of this.
