I have inner void wax treatment (several spraycans) and have done the inner/rear sill + lower arch "achilles heel" but want to do the floor/sill edges and all the pipes/fuel filler and suspension ironmongery :nerd:
I have had a good think about my 'auto choke' and the rats nest of vac tubing that goes with it....
I have had years of manual choke type cars and I'm suspicious of the Auto mech - is it completely opening everytime? The car sometimes runs like a total pig - fluffing, stuttering and stalls at junctions... Quick restart and runs great = Suspicious!
I'm replacing the T-handle pull with a button type knob.
I will slice the threaded foot off and araldite 30mm Button onto T stub end :smile:
Plenty of pictures when I do the install. I have ordered 10x 3mm rubber caps, to blank off any vac ports.
Yesterday I popped the trim off above the pedals, looking to pick up on the wiring to install my 'plip locking' kit. The loom is very densly wrapped as it exits the door boot, into footwell.... I couldn't see any way of picking out the 'locking wiring' easily.
Plan B :
I think I'm going to run 2 wires up into the actual rocker switch base >> these will take the signals down, through the door jamb boot, and then into the control box.
Bit of a faff BUT no loom chopping!
Do it all another day.... Bloominn freezing here, this time of year!
One of my sidelights went off - 5W T10 - luckily I found one in an old Ring bulb kit, from the bottom of my spares box. I had to twist the holder with an OE spanner, inserted behind the headlight void.. Horizontally.. as the space is bare big enough for a childs hand.
All sorted now :nerd:
Anyone had long test of LED T10 type bulbs (NO..not jazzy BLUE ones)?
This style T10 I use for the cluster and several other locations have not had one die yet. They come is most colours. https://www.ebay.com/itm/392026178373
When getting the centre link pipe replaced (big success) we spotted a leak on the front pipe/manifold joint. The shop has replaced this pipe 3 times due to Warranty faults (not down to their work). The fitter last told me "these fine thread Toyota studs can easily strip" and [presumably] didn't heave them up tight.... So now they are blown.
The shop manager is ordering 3 new studs + nuts and will extract the old ones (gastorch ftw) and refit it all for me.
The lads at the ATS depot are really great and always like to have some 'older iron' on the lift.
I have 2 identical, (except for color) 1.6 1997 Corollas with about 130,000 miles on each of them. I have owned one for about 12 years and the other for 8 years. They are great cars. I have put a combined 150,000 miles on them. I have had the timing belts replaced and have had the regular...
I am not an audiophile, but it seems like my speakers are sounding muddy. Having hearing aids probably doesn't help. Anyone have any recommendations on replacing them? I installed an aftermarket Pioneer MVH-X370BT so I could get Bluetooth. I would rather not deal with amplifiers if possible...
hello, I have been looking for driver side rear quarter glass for a couple of days now and haven't had much luck yet so I figured I would go and ask for help on the forum. it is a lift hatch corona so 5 doors if you include the hatch. It is the luxury model and yeah someone smashed out the rear...
