Old Red Celica Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 It's not too bad. 4 new tyres 4 missing locking wheel nuts Brake fluid low because the pads are worn, Discs worn because more than likely the sliders are seized. The biggest thing to worry about is the knocking engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizona Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Looking at that list i'd say it wasnt too bad either brakes, as Old Red says tyres ditto brake fluid ditto radiator, bet is the bottom corner leaking as is the general with gen 7's emmisions and the smoke, knocking etc - its a knacked oil burner?....... so prob wants another engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan HX Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Except for the engine If it weren't for that I could get it through the MOT just using the spares in my garage that I've accumulated over 3 months of ownership and a set of rear discs. Was more shocked that someone would try to put this through the MOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
