Now you have the seat belt out Take the drainage tubes out and clean them out The tubes allow water to run out from the roof and escape out of the bottom The tubes are behind the trim behind the seats and seat belt inertia reel

im trying to wrap my head around the price difference between the US and UK miatas. these things sell on copart for 2 or 3 grand and sell for 7 or 8k on facebook.

Is it not door if moving centre of stationary otherwise they’d get in the way of changing gear

Nice one. I have a convertible with 11000 miles, a great car. It's my third Jaguar; I drove 160.000 miles with one with no problems. Maintenance is key; for the first 15 minutes, go easy on the throttle. Thank you for the review, and keep the car.

Why do you have the stop/start off?Mine is on most of the time around town.

Fair play I enjoyed following along as an owner of an nc mx5

Im looking at getting my first f-type. Coming from a z4, would you recommend the v6 or go straight for the v8?

Similar path as yourself, Z4M, S2000 (x2) then 2013 V6S to Supra to 2021 P450 V8. Sold the V6S as it was getting old and big bills kept coming. Loved the Supra, especially with aftermarket exhaust and remap. The performance and handling was something else, a true sportscar as opposed to the F-Type which is more a "sporty" GT car. Like yourself, I missed the F-Type character, but the real reason to change was to get back into a convertible after the Supra and just wondered if you missed that element now you're in a coupe. S2000 was the best weekend car I've owned, Z4M the most flawed.

Nice one, I got a very rare V6 manual transmission 2018 model year, Caldera Red with 19" Centrifuge silver wheels, pre GPF with Fuse 15 out (obviously). It sounds and drives amazingly! Mine is actually 1 of 188 built for the UK market.

IMHO: Check the MOT history before putting anything more into this car - it's had welding (or thick underseal!) on both sills - get the rear arch liners out of the way to have a proper look at what's there. Plenty of NCs around - often cheaper than NBs. Good luck, though, whatever you do.

Keep it the deprecation is turning so will cost nothing in the next couple of years

I am looking for a 2016/17 model, hopefully with an already blacked out package so i don't need to wrap the door frames etc and hoping the exhaust hast been quietened from an update. I am terrified about maintenance costs or surprise issues. I'm in Australia and these are more expensive to purchase than Uk, having said that, these are very very rare on the road, which is what i like, I'm not a sheep and this car stands out when it is seen and heard. Currently have owned since about 2015 an Audi A7, tuned it, got some RS7 rims on it and a muffler delete and the car still looks like a recent model expensive car but i want to own a V8 before the world goes EV and starts in my opinion putting taxes on petrol guzzling V8's. I love James Bond movies and even though this car isn't a Aston Martin, it still has Bond vibes, plus i was born in Bham which is where i believe they were made, i dunno i feel connected to this car. I could immediately pick up the 6 cylinder Ftype as they are a lot cheaper here, but i need the V8, especially after driving one, i just cant see a better car for the price range in the second hand market.....Audi RS5, BMW M3/4, they don't turn my head when i see one, another car in the similar price range is the Merc C63S and im sure its prob more reliable, interior more comfortable and high tec BUT the Mercs these days are so common on the road and the C63S doesn't really stand out from a 4 cylinder recent model merc. There was the Lexus LC500 but there is just no sex appeal with Lexus despite it being a wise reliability choice...........i dont really know what to do

Nice F type, colour is stunning, the running costs are at the top end~ then there’s servicing 😮 But just look at its road presence 😀

get rid of everything except the Jag ,

Nice spec, colour combo

And link on to the USA guys who do Sabbs the community is so huge best of luck to ya 🎉

Hi There love the content and the Channel and you a good honest guy and l know that the Channel will do very very well Especially on Saabs they have a huge following best of luck.😊

Dude, you’re the most out of breath person I’ve ever heard!

30 year body man from Canada here. That damage is non-structural. Some time spent working it back out from the inside, some primer and paint to cover and seal any bare metal and you should be good to go. I’d also look at the bracket position above and on the side just to make sure they’re in the right place but if it all lines up after, no problem. For the airbag, based on the age and model I’d say look at the crash sensors first. They’re outside and subject to weather and can be easily damaged. After that would be the clockspring, due to movement over time. The “polystyrene thingy” is an “impact absorber”.

I own a MX5 MK3, so that is a sad sight to see

Got the exact same car, they are fantastic 💪

The 93 convertible has two concealed rollover hoops behind the rear seats that are deployed in certain collision situations, might be worth checking the wiring to these?

What camera and mount are you using? The image is a quite “jittery” when you move the camera which makes the video hard to watch. Otherwise, excellent video! I like your presentation style.

Bargain! We bought a virtually identical one from Copart (56 plate, same colour) earlier this year as a keeper. Put a max bid in for £475. Didn't meet reserve (seller wanted £1000). Reconfirmed the £475 bid and they accepted it. Ended up having to pay for delivery as we were away when we won it, so with the fees and delivery, it came to £880. Genuine 75,000 miles, 2 keys, heated leather, runs like a sewing machine, but Cat N for a dented wing and bumper. I've repaired it, serviced it, put 4 new tyres on it, and got it through an MOT (needed a bit of welding on the inner sill on one side, only test advisory was rear disc wear), and it owes us £1,700. Very cheap way to buy an MX5 if you get lucky. Ours has the same seatbelt issue - cleaning them with soapy water is the fix, apparently. Engines are known for guzzling oil, and many fail because they are allowed to run too low.

Well done 👍

Slow seatbelt retraction is a common issue - just wash the belts down in soapy water, dry them fully, and the problem goes away. Good luck with the project.

Seems like a fair deal.

I've now watched all of your videos on the NCs so far, there's some good stuff here. I've got a 1.8 2015 model, just bought it so your journey is interesting to me.

Back lights are 45 quid all day long,still got mine ,daily driver ,great cars very reliable, apart from normal stuff like pads tyres etc ,never had a problem in 6 years of daily use.

Hi mate, maybe talk to Dougie at Once driven forever smitten about the tech 2.

Nice Saab, I have a 2006 2.0T my self. You asked what to do on a few things in your video. My advice: Get a Tech2 with the CANI module and a Win10 Laptop to gain security access. You will find a lot of tutorials on RUclips how to put all of this together on the computer side of things. Without it you can do nothing to the Saab Their is no workaround or general OBD-Reader that can replace the Tech2. Looks like the Valve-cover gasket is leaking and while you have the cover of you can have a look where the ticking noise is coming from. Good look

Absolutely love these old Saab's especially the convertibles. Love seeing your videos, keep up the good work!

I used to have one of these, my airbag light was on and had to get a local Saab specialist to turn it off with Tech 2. Also check down by the drivers seat runner at the front, there is a sensor there that can get knocked. It's the side of the transmission tunnel. Great channel 👍

Really enjoyed this series, I recently bought an mx5 and I’m slowly going through it, your videos have been really helpful! From the bits that you salvaged from the first car, do you have the Scissor Jack and accessories? I’m looking to buy them for mine they were missing.

Comment for algorithm.

Job well done man. Keep up the great work.

👍

Well done. Thanks for taking us along on your journey!

Looks like this is a very early NC. If you find that the heater takes ages to work after being parked pointing down hill then the was a tech bulletin for this , replacing one of the hoses to the header tank. Don’t think this car has had it done.

Great job. For its age the MX is looking good! I’d use the Renovo black dye for the roof. I used it on mine and it looked like new afterwards. Thanks for the great content!

If I was buying a door I'd like it to come with as much of the door furniture as possible. Swapping a damaged door with a complete door by just bolting on and plugging in the loom is far easier than buying the door shell then having to swap all the bits over from your old door.

The door ones are bottle holders not cup holders

Ive sent you an email about a part

Getting the dash out is a ballache. You need to remove the center console then the bits beside the radio then the radio and that reveals the bolts to take out the dash. you'll hate it

In terms of the next car to work on I think a VW Golf would be a good idea as the parts should be easily available and once its done it should hopefully be pretty easy to sell it on to a new home. Loving the Mazda MX-5's tho, always happy to see a new video :3

Need a shed lol

Mk1 doesn't have any 😄
