Just wondering if the petrol has gone stale in the tank? How long ago was your last fill up?

Thanks Chris, I'll try to get the paper clip out over the weekend

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.

Just found a YouTube video. Know where it is now

Never had the ECU out. I've heard that it's in the passenger footwell behind the glove box. There's a white plastic box under there. Is the ECU in that?

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

My ST205 has stood for nearly six months over the winter. The battery had been playing silly beggars for quite a while before so I bought a new one to give myself the best chance. New battery fitted and turning the key, engine turning over nice and quickly but no attempt to fire at all. I tried several times but no luck. After leaving it for half an hour she actually fired up. She ran a bit lumpy then smoothed out and I let it run for about half an hour. Two days later I'm booked in for an MOT so I go out and try to start her up. Cranking nicely again but no attempt to fire at all. After several cranking sessions, nothing. I got on my hands and knees at the back of the car but no smell of petrol from the exhaust. I'm not a mechanic and have no experience of mechanical stuff on the car but my logic says that the exhaust should stink of fuel after cranking so many times. Am I completely off the target by thinking that my fuel pump may be stuffed? Yes, there is fuel in the car.

The tarmac or the wheel ? I'll keep the wheels to use on autotests until the tyres are worn out. The shame is that those wheels really suited Ezzy. I have a similar set but silve currently on my SS1. I'll probably get them refurbed and painted white as replacements. They are 16" so will be a bit less likely to sustain such damage as the tyres are higher profile.

That looks saveable, bit of heat and rollers.

It's a bit straighter now after a few blows with a big hammer. Will be driving home on it tomorrow. Did quite a big tour yesterday down to Macinlyth via the nice road by Corris, up to Betws-y-coed where there loads of police chasing someone on foot, 2 attempts at the B road where the pothole was. First time it was closed, second time it's been resurfaced and the pothole filled in. At least the council acted quickly. Ran fine apart from being a bit bumpy between 40 and 50 like an unbalanced wheel. B4391

Hopefully Chris will get round to posting a photo of his wheel on here - horrendous!!

I hope you have managed to get yourself sorted?

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

Or even look on Ebay, Gumtree, Faceache Marketplace

I think he's based Birmingham way.

Are they based in N wales ? Unfortunately I can't get mail order to a holiday park.

Posted in General chat as it's more likely to be seen. I'm away in North Wales for the rest of the week after the Celica event over the weekend. I hit a big pothole yesterday which has buckled a wheel badly. The only spare I have is the standard skinny tyre which is a different diameter to the others by quite a bit. The size currently on is 215/40 - 17 so looking for a pair with similar diameter or a whole set. If anyone in the area has any wheels to sell or lend please drop me a PM.

They are lovely wheels, even look great on Gen5s. My old SR with the wheels finished in 5ft Chrome power coated

They surely must be the nicest standard wheels by far for a Gen6

Finally, out for her first meet in over a decade

These actually are standard for the SR model

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