No worries. MX5 nutz is a good forum for hunting out info and getting advice. I've got pretty hooked on these things since buying mine. Had a right ball going on holiday in it last week, made it more of an adventure than taking a boring hatch back.

Won a wind break for behind the seats on eBay for £25 last night which is a result.

Sorted the heating out on Sunday as well. Was hot OK but not much puff, stripped the heater box down and found the flap that selects either air from outside or resirc had fallen down over the fan causing the intake to be hugely restricted. Removed it and now I get a facefull of hot air. Result. Still had to crack out the GolfGTI.co.uk beanie this morning though as the top of my head gets cold on the way to work with the top down at 7am!

In other news I'm photographing a wedding this coming weekend for some extra cash. The 5 will be getting some lowering springs, 2 new front tyres, WIM's fast road wheel alignment setup and possibly a Garage Vary front splitter.

I appreciate the splitter is a bit marmite.

Here's a pic on a very similar car to mine
