yeah just been reading about oil in the pipes and catch tanks - just seemed like quite a bit of oil

still was so sure I was going to find a totally ruined turbo and now I have no idea whats going on or what else could be causing it to be a dick

any suggestions of my other problem ? the search function on this forum is taking a beating and not sure if I can look anymore!

going to get the turbo looked at tomorrow as I have a day off then hopefully if its all well and good Ill be putting it back together and crossing everything its all ok :(

Not pressure tested the intercooler pipes - will be replacing the couplings as its not all apart - call going into hypergear today to see if they have service the turbo for me.. then its all back together hoping for an easy resolution

all back together - had a nightmare bleeding the coolant system and have just taken it out for a quick test..

its on boost and seems nice and strong, whilst pussy footing it up the gears i got into second and it wont shift up from second just slips and revs, new top speed of 60kph

now is that an assumption that gearbox needs a serious looking at?

yeah auto - any reason for them to have burnt out? or just one of those things with 160k?

noticed my attesa fluid has risen quite a bit also, assume thats a result of the box having a death

The clutches wear, just like any other clutch. They are designed to slip into gear gently which causes more wear. People fit shift kits to their auto to help speed up the shift, and put more pressure on the clutches to stop the slipping.

If the clutches are worn they are quite hard to replace, and usually the entire box is rebuilt.

It could also be a sticky or blocked solenoid or filter. Probably best to get an opinion from a respected local auto specialist.

The attessa has nothing to do with the box, other than being bolted to the back of it...

    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
    • appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off
