i snapped a bleed valve clean off when trying to open it for the first time. Replacement radiator I just bleed it by hand and never touched the valve!

yeah I've managed to get some pads from TCB parts. I liked the stock pads as they had little dust and didnt fall apart in use. Will see how these go but might head towards pagid next time. What pads did you find?

as above, tried to get stock rear pads for the car and both Toyota and TCB told me they were no longer available. Got some stock alternatives coming but anyone else had this issue?

lift the back of the car when refilling and bleeding the coolant. Use cap filler as the main air bleeder but you obv have the heater matrix bleeder as well. You can hand squeeze the radiator pipes at the actual radiator to help push air bubbles out of the system. When the rad pipes are too hot to to...

cheers guys, food for thought there

just checked Bigred and they require your original calipers first before they can refurb meaning car out of action for however long it takes them. Anyone recommend other refurbishment companies that don't require your calipers up front?

cheers Allan

good man!

hi, dont suppose you have the ignitor / distributor lying about? My car has died and looking on the ignition side to see what we can swap out to ID the fault

So I found out my coilovers are gouging a nice groove into the inside sidewalls of my AD08R's on my 16's TBF I should've checked the clearance after asking for -2.0 degrees of camber, plus they are like +30 8J Just ordered some ARP wheelstuds and I've got some 5mm hubcentric spacers that were made ...

juliankv73 - any spacers needed with that combo you have? Hi buddy, no spacers, no rubbing or fouling of suspension I've had this set up on 2 mr2's now and it's on my v6 mr2 :) I previously ran 17x 8j front and 9j rear ET35 with no rubbing etc either or spacers. looks like Tein Flex is now Flex Z h...

ha, I've got AD08R's on mine and it's completely pointless trying to drive it in snow. Feels like the front and back end are trying to go in different directions. Came off traffic calming bump (which i couldnt see because of the snow and parked cars) and went completely sideways but managed to not h...

I'd be tempted to go for coilovers with the soft spring instead of the rock hard standard offering and then you can set the ride height as you please. Obv if you have wide front wheels then you are limited somewhat.

oft, somewhere to avoid perchance?

hi, it's the oval plug type with part number 27060-74500. I'm in livingston this week as well as Glasgow so either suits me

hi, do you have the alternator and if so what type of plug is it?

if you have stock calipers then plain old OEM discs from Toyota are hard to beat no matter what pad you put against them. Ask for a discount at your local dealer, I got my discs 2 for price of 1 :thumleft: . Pads, different argument entirely but for street use and nothing too lairy then again stock ...

silicon spray works great for sure, I also have a silicon bladed kitchen spatula for prizing open the doors when they're frozen solid. Another tip, make sure the door hinges are well lubed as I had then sticking and that didn't make it easy getting into the damned thing!

cheers bud, much appreciated for the info :thumleft: Reckon a 225x45 or 235x40 would fit on the front ? Not without work. how so? the wheel clears the coilover tube / spring so a tyre providing not bugling over the rim shouldn't have width issues and height wise there isn't anything above it to hit...
