Not sure where I am going to store my Zimmer frame though!??

Cheers, M

Just for you...
 

Thanks Dudeman,

They must have anticipated that old women will be driving MR2s in the future, when they designed this Zimmer frame :-)

Cheers, M

Only issue, is she is placing that frame into the back seats,
something the mr2 has little of.. ahah :)

Love this story M.

Cant wait to post my pictures of my new 2  :P been waiting for the right time to unveil her, and it is almost that time! :)

Dudeman, the picture you posted is a bit too close to the truth. I am nearly 65 and already use walking aids sometimes because of my disability, but have not seen anything like this portable model that you have had experience with. Where did you get yours from?

E,

I thought I read somewhere that you were waiting to get your licence back??!! Have you been a naughty boy??

Waiting with anticipation on your big unveiling!!

Cheers, M

I am all excited........my baby is booked into Toyota hospital for rear suspension work on Monday (21/7/14)

Parts being replaced are:
1. Shock absorbers;
2. All bushes;
3. Lower ball joints; and
4. Wheel bearings.

Hoping this will fix my soggy, bouncy ride.......I will post an update when it is finished.

Cheers, M

Wow! Doesn't new rear suspension make a difference??!!
 
Replacing all the suspension bushes has totally fixed all the creaking in the suspension, and the car feels all perky, just like when it was new.......Awesome!
 
I would also like to testify that the droning noise that I was told was the transmission shaft bearings, is actually wheel bearings. There is still a very faint drone, but the car is now 97% quieter than when I was repatriated with my baby in  December 2012.

Droning noise?
Obviously keep a close check on it, but it may possibly only be rear tyre noise. Some can be very noisy.

It is more a high pitch droning noise and it changes as I move through the gears. I suspect I will have to refurb the transmission at some point in time. But all the gears still engage well, and responsiveness on the clutch is still quite good too.

I associate any constant low pitch drone to be tyre noise, but I don't have much of that anyway.

Haven't had to do much to the baby in the last two years, apart from the regular minor service at Newtown Toyota every 10,000 kms.  
 
My baby has not missed a beat, and just keeps going!! I'm such a proud owner!
