Will keep an eye out for you - stickered up yet?

Do you keep them all at home or rent a garage/lockup locally? Beginning to think I might need more space!

There's something wrong with it then, in MX-5s the heater is like a nuclear reactor. I've only ever turned the temp and fan all the way up once.

It was -10 and I had the roof down! wink

Good to see another '5 on the South Coast. thumbup

It could well be, yes. Worth checking the top of the rad (rather than the expansion tank) to see the condition of the coolant, my cousin's was so gunked up with brown sludge the heater wasn't working too well; drained and flushed the system and then fresh coolant it was fine. If it's not that, have a search of both the MX-5 forum on here or the forum on MX-5Nutz, both are excellent and have extremely knowledgeable members.

Once that's sorted, just keep an eye on rust, that's the only real negative with them; my 2003 car has already had to have the dreaded sill work done on one side and will need the other soon enough. headache

Alignment is well worth the money, they're very sensitive to it and it'll make a big difference to how it drives.
