MOT time , another pass , no advisories Not bad for a 47 year old car !

MOT passed

E10 is going nowhere near my Celica, Shell V Power all the way . Alternator is back all shiny and gorgeous. Just got to get it back on now

That’s the plan

That is brilliant news!

That's what I mean - you didn't like me looking under the bonnet before . But you now have something that's all bright and twinkly!!

That is a bargain! Did they clean up the outer surface and polish it? So does this mean Merion that you are going to polish everything under your bonnet now?

Should be all good again

With e5 and e10, id try leaving as little as possible in the tank if its parked up for a while. Ive had loads of cars that have been parked for ages and the fuels come out clean and they have started after 3 or more years of being parked, with the ethanol content, it does turn to sludge a lot more, Other thing I find on cars that have been parked a while is that its worth taking the plugs out and giving them a clean and also take off the distributor cap and take off the build up inside on the tips

Believe me it's going to get one

Probably could do with the Italian tune-up before the MOT

There's a reason cars are often refered to as she. I have the same nonsense from Ezzy, the others are fine.

Yeah, I've known a car with two year old petrol in it start okay.

First step check fault codes, no special tools needed. Guide on gt4dc how to guides. Cap failure in gen 6 is still rare, I'd be looking at the more obvious first. See what the fault codes show. Check for spark while turning over.

Maybe it's time to check the capacitors in your ECU.

Finally, out for her first meet in over a decade

Those wheels are original, made by Momo, fitted to the SR only.

Lovely car you have there Jessica best colour for the Gen 6 imho

That is a fabulous looking example, nice to see them clean and original. I like the wheels too, they don't look original but they suit the car really well.

Can we do videos in the same way? Still got plenty to do but she's ready to roll

Not sure about linking to Facebook pics. But u can upload them direct from your computer, laptop, phone etc. When u reply to post , click on ' add files ' Select pic/s you want, then wen it comes up under where u would write your post, click insert That should work

Going out Sunday for our first meet

My Gen6 SR is going for her MOT today after being off road for 13 years (yes, 13 - not a typo). Hubby has spent the last year or so (not continuously) getting her back in shape and ready. Hopefully soon be back on the road

I shouldn’t have taken this photo (we were forbidden to lol, hence why it’s so crap) but I couldn’t resist getting some form of photographic evidence that my Celica was bang in the middle of several shots on the film set last week Slightly intimidating company I must admit!

Awesome views on Dartmoor this week

Thanks for the link. Very helpful but sadly the wheel is beyond repair.
