Wiper Blades Daft Question ?

Hi all,

My wiper blades have disintegrated and I have noticed that they are not the standard blade that loops over the arm but are fixed to the arm with 2 screws, are you able to just change the rubber or will only the OE complete units fit ?

Hope that makes sense !!

Cheers

Oil Filter part number 90915-YZZJ2

Hi all,

I believe there are a number of toyota oil filters to fit the MK1B, can anyone tell me if the above part will fit a 1987 model ?

The one on at the moment is 90915-YZZJ1

Re: Cleaning TVIS?

Hi all, I've always wondered about the TVIS and how it should feel. I use to have a Citroen AX Gt with twin choke webber which pulled very strong when the second choke came in. I always expected that of the TVIS. My car runs perfect and pulls well but I too have never noticed any difference at any p...

Re: How loud is a magnex?

Not loud at all just right in my opinion...in fact if I did critisize I would say they are too quiet, just a crisp note as the revs rise. If you want noise don't buy one. :thumleft: :thumleft:

Oven cleaner on alloys...the biz !!!

All, Read in a classic car mag recently about cleaning baked on brake dust/dirt from alloys using oven cleaner ! The wheels on my MR2 are new and so do not need doing but the front wheels on my wife's F**d Pu*a have always had that gold tinge on them caused by infrequent cleaning before we had it. I...

Re: Mongoose Exhaust tip Vibrations

My Magnex seems to do this and it is only 6 months old, It is definitely not hitting anything on the car, I only noticed it yesterday when someone else was reversing the car into a garage, It is just like a slight vibration on the tips (especially on fast idle when cold) just as superredmr2 says.
