Thanks for the help people - this shows just how good the MX-3 on-line community is :) <p>I have given my car a good look over, and will also mention this to the body-shop (though this may be an excuse for them to print money :/ ). There is also a bit of rust appearing on the bodywork under the fron...

I have a 1992 V6 - black<p>The rear wheel arches have started to rust, and a bit of corrosion has started to appear around the sunroof (both opening and sunroof 'lid').<p>Apparently the rear wheel arches are a weak-spot due to the construction method (dirt collects on the rim, stores moisture and th...

Volvo have just launched 5 new concept cars on this site:<p>http://www.conceptlabvolvo.com/us/designs/<p>The 2-seater sports coupe looks remarkably like the MX-3. The futuristic design lives on

I think the garage meant my ECU! :roll: <P>And soz for the typing in my original post - it was done late at night :eek: <P>One other comment, apart from the faults listed, the car runs fine. Surely the ECU would not just affect stuff like me window heater light ? [img]shrug.gif"%20border="...

I posted earliwer on the alarms/car audio board re. a problem with my alarm. However, I have taken the car to the garage due to another problem i.e. the rear window heater has stopped working. At first they specified a faulty switch, but now report that the CPU is faulty.<P>The stmptoms are as follo...

I have a problem re. my alarm sounding whilst I am driving <P>The alarm is not switched on, but the 'siren' goes off. The lights do not flash tho, and the immobiliser does not kick in.<P>This happened once on numerous occasions on 1 day, but has not recurred since. <P>It happened at the same time as...

Apologies for this very basic query.<P>However, the plastic trim around the rear hatchback window of my 10-year old MX-3 is constantly and loudly creaking. It is soooo f###ing annoying!<P>Has anyone got any tips to fix this before I get the vaseline out (no dirty jokes please).<P>Any constructive su...

Hi, thanks for the responses.<P>David Coleman may be right, as the heatshield was placed on top of the middle pipe, rather than beneath it.<P>There is a rubber (?) bush/joint or something on the cars undertray above where the heat shield used to be, and I thought the shield may have been there to pr...

Hi,<P>I need to replace my Cat. Converter, as it has started blowing http://www.mx-3.com/ubb/eek.gif .<P>Welding is an option, but I am examining getting a replacement. Can a replacement cat improve performance?<P>I have browsed previous posts, but cannot find any definite recommendations. By-passin...

I asked in a previous post about rattling from underneath my car at certain revs - and the replies correctly identified problems with the heat shield (tho the cat is blowing as well :/ )<P>To fix this, the bloke at the garage has simply removed the heat shield from the middle pipe of the exhaust.<P>...

Thanks for the comments - the problem was near the heat shield, but is actually a leaking Catlytic Converter. They will need to take the heat shield off to see how bad it is.<P>If they cannot weld it to fix it, it will be mega bucks for a replacement :/<P>

Hi,<P>I have noticed a 'rattling' sound from underneath my car when the the rev counter passes around 1200 revs (in a range of 1100 to 1500 revs).<P>This only happens when the car is moving, and is most noticable in first/second gear. <P>Any ideas what this could be? I am getting it checked at a gar...
