Autolink are brilliant!  Think the main bloke is Andy?
I was/still a member of the OC and the people are just brilliant!  Used Nutz too, but couldn't fault the OC one bit. The magazine you get 4 times a year is worth the annual 30 odd quid alone.

Have you got a Eunos version?  If so get the cat off, get the bypass pipe from mx5parts for £50. It's an awesome bit of kit. Get the timing advanced too if yours is a 1.6. Standard is 10 deg, 14 is the common increase, but you can go to 18 if you are happy to use premium unleaded all the time.

Well Autolink have said they are very busy tomorrow but can spare me 5 mins to get a fault code reader on it and have a quick nosey at the issue. Hopefully they'll nail it, I can get the bits from them and get this sorted and get back to fun motoring.

Yes I do and not for very long if my wife found out I bought a turbo kit for it. :grin:

Well I took it down to Autolink who are an MX-5 specialists and had the ECU read which chucked out an error code for the ECU temp sender. Picked one up from them as well as a couple of other bits I was after. Changed the sender and so far so good. As it was an intermittent fault the next few days will be the test.

Total cost was £22 for the sender, 2 gaskets I needed for the thermostat housing which is weeping a bit and replacement side repeater which had a broken clip.
