No expert but when i first got my gen 5 it the needle would climb when i was stopped at junctions etc and then go back towards normal as soon as got driving, this was the thermostat sticking and a new one solved that Heater matrix know nothing about but there's something up there and it may well be contributing Sounds like it could do with a good look over

What Ams said above, esp the under the rear seat thing and dont keep any bottles of liquid in the car as that doesnt help a sock with some crystal cat litter in it with the top tied is better than rice

What i've done in the past is take them for a test drive with me driving to show them what it can do, then once back and peel their fingers off the dash let them have a little sedate drive round the block with me in the passenger side so long as their insurance covers them to drive another car not owned by them, and i ask them to bring proof. Usually they are covered on someone elses car but only third party so it is a risk you take or get them to sign something saying they'll buy it if they break it . If someone has fully comp ins it still only covers third party on a vehicle not owned by them

Mine wasnt on a Celica but a brand new VW Van had just put a new elevating roof, windows, heating, full camping conversion in and it was ready to go to the customer. Decided to test the new conversion before they collected it, they knew it was being tested. Up in the windy roads of Highlands on a hairpin met someone the other way and though only touched ended up with a fair size dent in the sliding door, no paint damage. Took door panel off at side of road, pushed and dent popped out but wouldnt stay. To this day it probably still has the piece of wood i found to keep it pushed out behind the trim panel

They're not just happened to be out there from the shed that day that the part number was asked for. They're likely to be going in the car but if i did decide to sell Fuppylodders would have first refusal Unfortunately they aren't available now from Toyota

They are only for gen 6's

Just happen to have a set laying on the picnic bench outside the back door

Love the pic Cipprio, great day eh just been looking through mine

My pic of the day Bek as you've probably never seen him , I found a flowery nightdress in the rag bag

Ditto, as he handed me the mot he said i had to put that on there, dont change it though it sounds awesome

Thats what i was thinking Somebody shoot me if i ever start looking at gen 7's

This fella is looking, might be worth a pm and some pics? http://www.celica-club.co.uk/forum/index.php?/topic/180973-what-do-i-need-to-know-buying-a-gen-7/

Sort of car related to as got the upright and handheld with the car bits too, hoovering just got a whole lot easier http://www.gtech.co.uk/cordless-vacuum-cleaners/airram-vacuum-cleaner.html

Recommend Shiply, worked well for me

IAC valve clean

I use Shiply.com

the pit in the boot as far as i know is sufficient for spacesaver, normal wheels fit in there but you'll either have to put up with a big bump in the carpet or put a false floor in there to raise it to same level i hate space savers so i use a normal one, it takes away the urgency to get the original tyre sorted and its a pain in the butt getting spacesaver tyre if it punctures

for starters it needs to be 5 x 100 if you take one of the wheels off your car that do fit the rest of the info is stamped on the back of the wheel so somewhere it wil say et35 or similar number the j number is the width of the wheel 5 x 100 is the number of holes and distance between to fit on the hub and the et is how far the whee sits in, so if you look at the back of the wheel its the measurement from the back of the centre part to the rim when its on the car if you get what i mean, so if it was et46 it would sit in the arches further than et35 and lower number would sit further out

I forgot to add on my post, if leaving on for a bit i make sure its clean and then throw a cotton sheet over it before putting the cover on to create a lining

That was a good find 1 owner, long mot and recent clutch , bargain bit of elbow grease on that and another wing and it will be pretty smart

I have the Halfords Deluxe one size large for the vert, always been happy with that

Where was Bill...............?
