Went on a Channel ferry recently... glad I was not in the mr2 as that probably would have grounded.

Multi-story car park up-ramps and down-ramps can be a problem even with stock suspension. I can remember one car park where I went up a few levels no problem although it looked close, but grounded the nose cone on a few of the down ramps on the round-out to horizontal. That was going at a snails pac...

I had a cracked windscreen replaced last year and they used a new seal. Looks like the proper Toyota seal and some months later that came out along the driver side A pillar. Bit of a clue it had not been fitted properly was a bit more wind noise when driving 40-50mph+ day after it was fitted. Couldn...

The rev3 turbo leather/alcantera driver seat has quite a lot of adjustment and I found it pretty comfortable (I once broke my back). Did a huge number of miles in that car as a daily driver. My next rev3 turbo had the factory fit cloth recaro lx-c (known as fishnets headrest model). These have less ...

I have had a gear selector issue but not with a slipping BOV! In my case the engine mounts were ok and the fix was to change the gearbox oil and rotate the shifter cube 90 degrees as the cube gets worn. Cheap fix. Done loads of miles since with no problems. See http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic...

There's also the fact that in over twenty years of driving I have never claimed for anything and if I really was going for cash for crash I'd probably choose a different vehicle. I had a similarly high number of years of good driving history when I got stitched up. I remember a report on tv that sa...

Good luck haggling market value of any old car. A friend had an SUV hit their MR2 and did minimal cosmetic damage and the insurer was wanting to write it off! SUV driver admitted fault at the time and then said not their fault on the insurance claim. The insurers like to use trade valuation guides t...

It was a rear end smash so definitely a non-fault accident. I definitely do not want my policy touched in any way. It's bad enough losing the car, it would be criminal if my insurance goes up as a result! Sadly the world has changed and that is a common assumption until you get screwed by an insura...

If you break the glass I have a used spare near side rear quarter window. Originally bought it for my previous mk2 rev3 turbo tbar but it is not compatible with a Tbar so should fit a mk2 hard top or sunroof car. (Toyota ran out of stock years ago so try not to break rear quarter windows, although s...

I had a windscreen replaced just over a year ago. Since then the rubber trim popped out one day up the driver side. I pushed it back in but it wouldnt stay in so I taped over it to stop the airflow lifting it out around 40mph. Now the trim is glued in on that side at least. That was a brand new rubb...

It's on the standard 15" alloys so looking at 195's for the front and 225's for the rear. Fortunately, for this area, money isn't necessarily a constraint. ... Not much choice in the 15" rears. For ideas see http://www.mytyres.co.uk/rshop/Summer-tyres/225-50-R15-V Cheapest half decent opt...

Good luck Luke.... hey you even have enough space for dancing Storm Troopers lol

You've probably heard but on the off chance you've not, Demon Tweeks are doing a Bank Holiday deal on Toyo's. Buy 3 get the 4th free on T1R's. Not sure what sizes they carry in 15" as I have 16"s mind you. For 15s the website says "Available for dispatch in 7 days". Dont know if...

Dont think so. I had this problem a few years ago and got a number of used ones to try and make a good one and failed. There are at least 3 different control boxes (black, brown, green) that are not interchangeable unless replacing the whole aerial assembly and not just the bit that is broke. I have...

I've actually got nexens all round on my original OEM alloys....maybe I should swap them on for the track? You be way better off getting something new on your 16s than running nexens on oem 15s unless you want to be very slow on the track (as they are very slow on the road even compared with someth...

Switch up = on, no steering. Switch down = on with steeering. You sure about that? I think mine is the opposite. Owners Manual says Press the top of the switch for operation in accordance to the turning direction of the steering wheel. Press the bottom of the switch for normal fog light operation. ...

Couple of years ago I asked Toyota about a battery for a rev3 turbo. Maintenance Free battery 28800-YZZJA 12V 65Ah. BCI 590A EN 570A. Manufactured in Czech Republic, distributed by Toyota Europe. Not the cheapest place to buy a battery for sure, but the last time I got one from Toyota it lasted abou...

I got more wind noise after the windscreen was replaced. :? Really weird as I could not see an obvious reason. Where the weather strip curves around the top corner there was a very slight gap that air could get by. Apparently the weather strip is cosmetic and not part of the windscreen bonding. Abou...

The interior of my car looked clean after the windscreen replacement, but the next time I turned the aircon on I got blasted by old windscreen fragments out of the vents. (My old windscreen was cracked low down on passenger side from a stone impact and the fitter was going to cut the old screen out ...
