Filled up again today £1.35.9, last week was £1.32.9 (this is vpower) Looks like I'm switching to regular unleaded

, I used to run on regular along time ago and I always thought it was sluggish, maybe its all in my head

Anyone noticing the petrol prices shooting up? I always put vpower in my celica, however I'm seriously reconsidering, it gone from £1.25 to £1.27, then last week I paid £1.30 and today its £1.32.9. I know the margins are small in the last view increases, however its the principle, does anyone use normal unleaded in there vvtli's? does the car run fine and smooth? I've always stuck with vpower just because my car runs smoother on it Anyway, just having a bit of a rant Darren

I'd be interested, depending on price?? Thanks, Daz

Thats right mate, they are decorative. I didn't actually know what they were called. One of the guys at the wheel refurb place said he would just glue them back in, however if I could locate some new rivets / rivbolts, I would go down this route instead. Daz

I just turn the bolts backwards and forwards until they where free to turn, then I used the bit, tilted it slightly in the bolt and pulled up and twisted. Once the bolt was enough out, I could get it with my hands. Hope this makes sense. I'm not sure what material they are, but the back of them are soft (you can see it in the images above). I'm not sure regarding the powder coating, I know when I'll be getting my wheels refurbed, I'll be taking all these bolts out, just because I want them to stay silver. Daz Not sure mate, I would measure the diameter of the bolt and search for a triple square bit. Daz

The bit you need is a triple square bit (I was lucky and had one laying around in my toolbox). The bolts are not screwed in, they are push in. Once there out though, you'll have to have them glued back in. Bolts from the wheel: Daz

Those cupra r's are bloody quick though.... If I have to switch to a four door car, this is something I would consider with the K1 body kit on. Daz

Experiences of Toyota Dealerships and why I will never use them again:- Bolton - These raised the cost of my service when I got my car MOT'd cheaper else where (so I decided to go somewhere else for the service). Manchester Sale - Took the car for a servce, waited 20 mins for one of the technicians to tell me they couldn't get my car on the ramps because it was too low (I have a standard Gen 7 GT) Manchester Swindon - Technician decided to put an extra half a litre of oil in the engine (this was 10mm over the maximum mark on the dip stick), this was also reported to Toyota GB - even the women on the other end of the phone could not believe it and said the technician should get a warning (This is the one thing that pi"$ed me off the most, the most basic thing to do to a car - filling the engine with oil) So to sum up my experience - shite Daz

This is the seat I have in my Gen 7 GT - Britax Evolva 1-2-3
