UK new girl.....

hello people how are you all, well im new to the toyota life.... so i am here to try and learn some new things about mr2's, and hopefully with the help of knowledgable people on here.

i bought my car yesterday, i have an imported mr2, g-limited, think it is the 158bhp model but not sure, j reg, she is a lovely car to drive and is spotless,

but iv got some bits i need settled, firstly,

1- wen pulling away pr slowing down if you rush into second it grinds, but if u take it easy puttin it into gear it doesn't?

2- i cannot find a rear fog lamp switch on the vehicle?

3- i tried to change my headlight bulb today which was going well until the lights decided to close on me for no reason when the headlight was hangin out, the cover closed down and when i treied to get it back up on the switch it wouldnt come up, well i managed to get the light out and put it all together but the headlamp unit itself doesnt pop up as far as the other one and when u go to turn lights off it lifts up a bit then closes.

any ideas what may have happened?

4- i have a switch that has been fitted by someone, (just an aftermarket halfords plastic switch) it lights up when u switch it on but only if the headlights are on?

5- and finally...... the front fog switch is like a rocker switch, it has on written in the middle, but at the top it has jap writtin n at the bottom nothin but the fogs come on when pressed up or down, does anyone know what switchin it upwards is supposed to do and what downwards is supposed to do?

i know this sounds alot but it is just silly little things that i cannot work out!!

would appreciate some advice

cheers mr2 girly!!

welcome!
im sure youll locate some answers on this site! for the fogs, make sure you check the bulbs, ground wires, and fuses....it could be something relatily simple
any pics of your MR-2 yet? i love that bodystyle!

Easiest way, for me at least

1. Register at http://photobucket.com/ , its free

2. Upload your images from your computer to Photobucket

3. They will assign a URL link.....like http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...uckpics218.jpg

4. Now when you post a reply or new thread there is an icon right above where you type it
looks like


Hit that and insert URL tag





Voila, pictures


No need to compare your ride to everyones elses, my truck is a base model SR5
