RX-8 Owners Club UK

Well, after 15 years of valiant service and hard use, my rotor has failed...............

The screw holding my club rotor fob onto my key ring has sheared I'll try to drill it out and use a new screw, but I'm not sure if it'll be successful.

CatastrophIc!!!

Try not to let it ruin your Sunday.

is it a full rebuild! That’s a very sudden, expensive repair...

Are there rebuild kits available

You are pest. I was thinking your engine gone haha keyring

Please save it Malcolm, we can’t have such a rare collectors piece being condemned to Rotary heaven. (Or hell depending on what you have been doing with it )

Disaster!!!! However there is a possibility of there being a new rebuild available at a rotary specialist somewhere near at hand , you just need to guess where, and persuade it's current owner to divorce it from the ring that the golum protects .

I'll try a DIY rebuild and hope I obtain good compression with my attempt

I have a spare unit if your repair does not work.
PS: thanks a bunch for the shock of the post title!

I think it might be time to upgrade to an R3: Everyone keeps saying they're more reliable

I thought this was something really important for a minute Malcolm

Hey I still have my first one in it's tin box

I just checked - my Mk1 is still fine ... as is the Mk2 (they are both with my spare key and fob) and my R3 is in daily use.

Do you service them regularly though Shaggy

My rotor keyring has been "premixed", by using to stir my coffee, a few times

I was sure I have an S2, but I can't find it. Or the R3..

With the opportunity for a rebuilt then don't forget to bridgeport it for a bit of extra brap brap!

I wonder how many are showing on the How many left website?
