Where can one buy replacement sunroofs from for MX3's please, mine is getting a bit rusty at the back. Also why does this happen, does water get inside somehow?

Hi,

Thanks.

Hi,

Has anyone heard of MX-3 1.8ltr V6 piston oil rings wearing out early (before the compression rings) such that the car goes through oil v. quickly with no visible blue smoke & no other engine symptoms?<P>My car is getting through oil very quickly (0.5ltr every 200 miles) but has passed compression ...

Also the car is driving well and has passed oil pressure, compression and coolant pressure checks.<P>Perhaps I have a pinhole leak at high speeds (temperatures) such ...

Problem solved. An engineer friend diagnosed the problem(s) which helped the garage to find them.<P>I had a faulty solenoid valve on the engine bulkhead, that's a lot better than a faulty engine!<P>Flat spots on acceleration turned out to be a split vacuum hose.

I have a UK 1994 MX-3 V6 1.8i.<P>I've got a mystery noise from my car engine bay. I can only hear it from the cabin with the windows closed. It sounds like "diga, diga, diga, ..." at a frequency of about 2-3Hz. It comes on at ~1500rpm and is of constant frequency regardless of engine revs above this ...
