THE REPAIRS AND SERVICING
PAGES
THESE PAGES ARE BEING OVERHAULED AUGUST 2005
These pages have been collected from a variety of sources - off the net,
written by the Club Technical Advisor, sent in by members and MR2 owners from
around the world. The terms used are therefore a mixture of British and American
- A glossary of terms is coming soon.
This section is now laid out under the same chapters as the Haynes Manual for
easier reference. It will take some time to reassign the existing pages layout,
so please check the whole of this index for the pages you require.
