Just an idea, does anyone know if it would be legal to just put a cycle puntcure repair patch on the split on the rubber gaitor? A lot cheaper than a huge garage bill

Thanks, sounds about right, I enquired at my local garage and they say about £80 to replace the gaitor. They've said they'll do the MOT first and let me know what needs doing, fingers crossed its just that. Thanks for your help, Sloggy

Hi, Almost ready to put my MX-3 in for the all important MOT to get her on the road at last and have just noticed that the front right axle gater/rubber sleeve has a small split, which is an MOT fail. I know how to remove the brake caliper, but gow hard is it to remove the gater? does it involve the...

Many thanks. Found a compatible one at the breakers. Also modified a 626 window mechanism so my window now works too. Slowly getting there.

Thats a shame. How about the flasher unit from a 323? Many thanks to everyone for their help

The problem is this....the cable had got caught up inside the motor and has become very tangled. I've currently got it hanging from my shed door hoping that it will straighten ok. By the way, the breakers at crawley have a 323, does anyone know if the mechanism from a 323 would be the same as an MX-...

Hi, I'm trying to get my MX-3 on the road and am stuck because the handbrake has seized so I'm looking to buy a pair of rear brake calipers (good working order) disc brakes not drums
I'm in England, UK. Also I'm looking for a flasher unit and a red passenger door (left side)
Thanks

Hi, sorry to hear about your car, not nice. How much for the rear brake calipers (presuming they're discs not drums) and to be posted to UK?

How does one free the handbrake (e brake) caliper? They seem to be seized up on my poor car. They are disc brakes. The cable seems fine and the rear brakes work fine as foot brakes.

Hi Mike, The motor sounds fine, the window doesn't get caught at all as its not being held up by anything except the piece of wood.

Hi, does anyone there have any tips on power windows? My drivers window is being held in place by a piece of wood, when thats removed the window just falls!! The motor makes the correct sound, so I guess thats ok.

Yeah, thats correct, although the drivers window needs looking at, another job to do!!

Cheers, I'll check that. I was surprised when I saw it had rear discs, but I'm not comlaining the foot brakes are really sharp, just the handbrake is dead

Thanks for your help chaps, its the flasher unit playing up, I've tried another one and all's ok now, thanks for your help

Hi, I'm having problems with my handbrake, there's nothing there, car just rolls forward. I've adjusted the cable and the handbrake feels really tight, but there's still nothing there. Car is a 92 1.6 4 disc brake model. Any help gratefully received.
