I researched 'non Toyota spec' leads and discovered a few that are [basically] a long rigid rubber torpedo, snapping onto the plug but not sealing the tube :frown:
My 'right turn' stalk is getting a nuisance with Bzzz Bzzz Bzzz and NOT flashing the turn lamps....
I have read a detailed stripdown/fix [on Ih8mud forum] and have lots of pictures of the basic construction.
Later Toyotas have the stalk as a 'plug in' unit.... Mine (and MR2) is a complete alloy do-nut around the column.
Wheel off, cowlings removed and then unplug/test/strip as required.
The part I picked up off eBay [V Cheeep!] is a Mk2 MR2 assembly.... But I only want to rob bits so it wont matter. They seem all very basically similar tbh
It can't be too bad because when I push forward [full beam position] the turn switch performs perfectly....
Looking forward to the job - I love taking stuff to bits!
Need a deep 19MM socket, retighten 25 ft/lb. :nerd:
My MR2 stalks arrived today, along with my 19MM socket & M6 stainless wingnuts (for locating the cambox cover).
Just clearing a spot for taking a peek at the actual 'winker' contacts.... For some insight into their condition (here, s/hand) and how I might fix 'in situ', perhaps, mine on the car.
..... the bit of tinplated brass that slides across the pips was 'worn bright' = should have a matte tinning finish :surprise:
The piece from eBay, my MR2 switch is mint... So just swapped over and I 'lightly scuffed' the surface of the pips with the edge of my jewellers screwdriver. Re-smeared everything with the excess/clean grease from under the cover and clipped everything back in place.
.... sharpie pen mark to keep wheel back in correct spot!
The nut was finger tight - likely years of folks heaving out.. Fitters arm crank retighten! NaaPraablem :smile:
Hi all,

Does sixth generation corona have same sizes on rear and front bumper? I've seen a person selling a chrome front and rear bumper corona and i'm willing to buy it and put it in my corona liftback 1980 also.
Hi everyone,
I have a CORONA 1986 Sedan (Model L-KT147V-TXKDS).
The issue is when I tried to take the car out for a drive the clutch gave in. Meaning the clutch just went to the floor without any resistance. Following are the observations,
1. No external oil leaks observed in the Master or...
On the outside it looks, let's say good if not exactly fine. Has all the glass, a tranny that, believe it or not, still has the synchros, a rebuilt master cylinder for the brakes, the windows roll up and down and it has plenty of room for a motor, seeing as how it has none.
Hey Yall! I was seeing if anyone here had any accessory parts for a 78 Corona Station wagon? I have an all original in Virginia, USA, that I am working on.
