Re: Rev 3 - odd noise on cold start up......can anyone help???

right then got the car back.

The timing belt on the car was for a rev2. changed it for a rev3 and the noise has totally gone!

The car now runs super smooth when you fire it up.

Anyone else heard of this as nobody mentioned this lol

Re: Rev 3 - odd noise on cold start up......can anyone help???

hi everyone, thanks for the advice so far..... car has been dropped off at the garage now and the mech said the 'noise' sounds belt related.

Re: Rev 3 - odd noise on cold start up......can anyone help???

I only bought it yesterday but we bought it private and it was warm when we got there.....the guy had been driving it. We are going to take it to the garage anyway and get them to have a look.

Re: 96 plate G Limited / Toyota badge which way round????

Solved...... I rang the garage back and told them the boot lid was from an import car and asked if they had done a HPI check.....(they had the car in as px). He has just rang me back to say he has just done a HPI check which should have been done when it first came in and it has been in an accident ...
