Thanks mate,still a fair way to go.
Want to get to the bottom of a fairly heavy oil usage problem and im nearly there apart from a few clunks and knocks

Yms show tommorow then i can have a tinker with a few bits \:D/

nice to see it with an owner it deserved. :thumleft:


Andy has done wonders on this car. OK, so i've done a fair bit of the heavy work on it, but all driven and financed by Andy.

TBH, the car should have been thrown back at the seller after it first broke down on the way home from buying it. Underneath the bright, well-fitted TRD bodykit was a dangerous, unreliable car It was misdescribed in the advert and none of the faults were pointed out, even the obvious ones.

All credit to Andy for keeping the car and having the faith that it could all be sorted. :thumleft:

Credit where deserved. You stuck it out when I think most would have quit.

The guy doing the work did a reasonable job too. He'll not see this though, as I reckon I'm about killed him this past few days :mrgreen:
