Hi Chris,

Welcome to the Forum, lots of Information & Knowledge about the FB here.

It would be worth reading the post about "What to look for" when buying a 1st Gen:-

Thank you for the link DKWW2000! The engine guide will certainly be of use,although i won't have a clue what i'm looking at lol

The car was purchased in 2012 and i believe it was a non runner. They purchased another car with a good engine that has only covered 58k,but it was having starting issues. Recently a replacement carb has been fitted and it starts,although it does smoke.

He was telling me he poured some oil down the housings,so it might be that which is burning off. The car has only ran for about 10-20mins since 2012

I dread to think how much i've spent on the MX5,all i know is its far too much lol Dont think much is left stock now
