"Charge" light on?

Your alternator isn't "Charge"ing the battery. Probably coolant got
onto the alternator and now it isn't working so well. Had it happen to
me with my old 323.

What LSD will fit my car???

Gordon Tucker wrote: An easy way to tell if it has a LSD or not is to jack up the rear with both back wheels off the ground. With the car out of gear and handbrake off, turn one of the rear wheels by hand. If the other wheel turns the same direction you have a LSD, if it turns the opposite direction...

Soft-top care and feeding

The little brush you use for polishing up your boots works just fine on
both the top and the tyres, and minimises overrun. A rag removes polish
from the painted bits.

No smell, and once dry, the polish stays put.

Tyre black. Ick.

Cheers....

Soft-top care and feeding

Don't laugh, but i use ......

wait for it......

Shoe polish. Black shoe polish. Lasts for absolutely ages & the black carbon
does a great job of protecting the outside of the soft-top.

Looks good on the tyres too, if you can be bothered.

Cheers....

Isn't there some sort of ajax/javascript client that could do this, instead of a full blown jws app? IRC ain't exactly complex. Next you'll tell me you think emacs is bloated ;) I tried using emacs during my time as a design engineer at TEL. It drove me nuts. Randomly closing buffers it thought i w...

If you don't want to get java you could download an IRC client like Mirc , connect to one of the Oz.Org servers, then join #MX5. But if you can't be bothered to wait the few minutes it takes to install java, then all of the above might be too much work for you too. It's not a question of laziness. ...
