MX5 Owners in here....bring your curling tongs

[bainbridge]

In the weekend I began the long process of a full suspension strip down and rebuild with poly bushes. It took me 9 hours on Saturday to get the front right stripped down, but on Sunday I'd learned some lessons and it took me 4 hours to get the front left side stripped.

On the bench I tackled the first of what will be many OEM rubber bush removals.

Only 20 odd more to go!

Damn! I had visions of myself doing stuff like that when I first bought my MX5. Now I struggle to find the time to top up the screen wash

Hey all! I haven't used my car for over a month and gone to start it today and unfortunately it's run flat.

Looked up how to jump it etc so will do that!

However, in doing so, I've learned about the vent tube for the battery in the boot.

It looks like my battery was replaced at some point to a model that doesn't have vent holes so the tube is just set aside.

I'm assuming this is safe and this type of battery just doesn't require venting in the same way that maybe the OEM one did back in the day?

Braver man than I. My front arms squeak like nobodies business, going to get the car in the air at some point to lube up the polybushes.
