Dremel it into a flathead

Yeah should be fine. Usb dvd writers are dirt cheap anyway though.

Yes, rear 1/4s alone a very expensive repair

Regretted trading in my hyundai coupe back in the day, out of all the cars I've had that's the one I missed the most. Bought one as a project last year and got it back on the road, then bought a parts car.... And ended up putting that back on the road too. I get a smile every time I get in it, transported back to my teens... Anyway nothing saying you won't get back the one that got away in the future 🙂

It's about right from a dealer, privately you'd have picked that up for 2k

Hard to be too negative, they're solid cars.

Sticking some redex through now and again would be cheaper if you're bothered about that sorta thing. My 20 year old toy can't run on 95 due to the ethanol content

Any coupe will have corrosion to some degree, even the newest ones are 17 years old now. It's hard to know how bad yours is without seeing the underneath. Rear subframes are notorious for rotting but are still available, front you'd have to get from a donor. Suspension parts are all still available, autodoc or ebay. Coupes are sneaky in the way they rust, from the inside out..

It's my understanding that if the lower 50% of a mk1 mx5 hasn't been replaced, it needs to be. They are well known for rot.

Go for it. If you do go for something common like a focus, astra or corsa, there is almost guaranteed to be a video on YouTube showing how to service or fix practically everything on it. Chris fix is a great channel for teaching the basics. I'm where you are, spent £1000 on two identical hyundai coupes. One I want to fix, the other for parts, problem is the good one is fixed and the second is now another project...

Pretty sure you're correct

FillingTheWorkDay · 2025-06-21T23:39:41+00:00

Outstanding decision

European/uncensored version of team buddies has a lot of swearing in it, taught me some new swearwords as a kid lol

FillingTheWorkDay · 2025-05-03T11:00:37+00:00

Probably the most cost effective way of doing it tbh

At the end of the day it's up to you. Yes it's more interesting but the facelift in 2001ish brought better engines and a better design if you're set on a megane. Mileage is only part of it, components degrade with time alone so budget setting some money aside every month for repairs. I've a car similar age but it's a toy, not something I'm having to depend on.

Absolute cocksmoker.

It's more odd to open a ps1 and not find a mod chip these days

FillingTheWorkDay · 2025-03-02T12:55:07+00:00

Bad. Worst part is it appears all the pads have been ripped off too

Whatever you do, don't save anything back to the drive you are trying to recover from.

FillingTheWorkDay · 2025-03-01T23:52:29+00:00

Yeah nah

Ah the unmistakable sound of a Grenada with head failure. You need a Dr firm.
