Dash light problems. Alternator?
Well chaps... it seems various dash lights are staying on when I start the car these days, and then after a minute or two sitting at idle she dies. Also the interior lights start dimming and flickering. For the record, I believe the lights are... Battery Engine Compartment Cooling Fan Warning Light ...

Re: Tyre size problems

It just looks a bit crap because the tyres are so fat an completely fill the arches up, but beggers can't be choosers... as I got the tyres for free!!! :lol: Certainly cheaper than 2 more Toyos anyway! Thanks again

Tyre size problems
Hi all, just a quick question. I recently acquired 2 tyres in the size of 225/55/15. At the moment I have standard 15s 225/50/15's on the rear with 40mm lowering springs. Now having looked at these new 55s beside the car, they look slightly too big for the arch. Question is, will they actually fit t...

Re: Whats the buzzing noise??
Thanks for all the replys guys.
I think im going to leave it for now and let it buzz away the odd time, as its apparent it does no harm.
Seems a strange thing to be in an engine bay but ive learned something new.
Cheers again

Re: Whats the buzzing noise??
Really??
So does it/can it make this buzzing noise or do you wreckon its something else?? It definately sounds like its coming from the canister though.
Could it be faulty?? Should it be removed? Cheers in advance

Whats the buzzing noise??
Hi guys, Ive noticed an intermittent
'buzzing' noise coming from the engine bay, even when the car is off.
Had a listen up close and I think its coming from the charcoal canister, does this sound right?


Any thoughts, much appreciated.

Re: Burning smell/ Smoke from engine bay???

Re: Burning smell/ Smoke from engine bay???
Hey thanks for the reply :D Yeah I must try and pinpoint where the smoke is coming from but it is definately venting out from the left side of the bay after a drive. I must also add that the car overheated badly once last week, so Im assuming at the minute this is related. Although the car drives we...

Burning smell/ Smoke from engine bay???
Hi guys, I have a '90 Rev 1 G-Limited import with 85k on the clock. Im noticing that after a long run or after a more spirited drive, there is a really bad burning smell, and some light, whispy white/grey smoke coming from the left side of the engine bay in particular. The temp gauge remains constan...
