Just a couple of questions...

[joe20vt]

I am going to be swapping from my standard mk2 14 inch alloys (TSW) to some OE 15 inch of a mk2.5 will my original wheel bolts be ok?

And I would like a manual to inspire confidence with a few up and coming jobs is Haynes the one or is there a better out there?
Thanks

1. Yes, the'll be a straight swap.
2. Yep, one of these 2 (depending on whether you have a 1.6 or 1.8)

ETA: just noticed you've got a mk2, and those books are for mk1's....

I don't think Haynes make a manual for the MX-5, I have got a Rod's Enthusiast's manual on order. It is for the mark 1 and I've got a 2.5 but I thought it's got to be better than nothing and worth a try!

There is a Haynes book for Mk1 MX-5 but Rods book is much better.
Mk1 & Mk2 are very similar in most respects so much of the book is of use to later cars as well as Mk1.

I've been using Rod's manual for the 1.6 with my MX-5s right since day 1 back in 1998. At that time, it was the only manual available (the 1.8 version hadn't been published). The cars have changed so little that for most routine jobs, it's still useful even though all my MX-5s have been 1.8s and my last 2 were Mk2s!

Thanks for all the help
I just assumed that Haynes made a manual for the mk2 but it looks not, I have never been completely sold on them.
Looks like a Rods will do the trick especially as I don’t plan and hope not to do anything major to it.

I bought this book, and it's been very helpful so far - far more visual than a normal Haynes manual with great step by step instructions for all servicing stuff going up to changing the cambelt and shocks and suchlike.
