Hey,
I need a good preferable reasonable priced mechanic as I think I have a vacuum leak in my MR2 (or I hope that the only problem). I am located in Dublin 1 so somewhere relatively close as car is well down on power and I dont want to casue any damage.
Thanks in advance.

One of the cheapest ways to test it your self is to take off the pipe,cover it at one end with a finger and try to blow through. If you can you have a leak.
Or spray some water on it while idling to reveal air bubbles.

Could be the actuator to turbo line.
I have to check my own actually as my boost is down to .4bar so i reckon ive a leak somewhere.
I'll have a look at my own tomorow and tell you how i get on.
If you still want a number for a mechanic try this guy,he's highly recomended by alot of people on DTD from around dublin .username is paddy4door and he qualified etc 0860518744

Sounds good I am gonna have another gander tomorrow also. It seems she is running rich now that there is a vacuumed leak if that what it is. Currently the Turbo timer has an a/f ratio f 11 at ideal and drops into the 10's under light pull on throttle cable. I would have expected lean running but must be compensating like crazy :-s
