    The last prefacelifts had the later engine -r.c. Has one

    Are all 4 of your tyres the same size? Faulty abs sensor normally comes on permanently - I have found if it comes on at higher speeds only it's usually odd sized tyres
  3. ams
    I've just bought one and planning on doing the same thing!

    there are 4 rubber stops on the underside of the bonnet - they can be screwed up or down - try adjusting them one by one
  5. ams
    Yep there are 2 parts to it

    look like the connectors for VSC (not fitted on your 140)

    They are the best tyres if you can afford them - they were £200 a corner trade price in 225/40/18 a few year ago -for my sisters 225 Audi Tt Quattro - supreme grip - but under 10,000 miles and all 4 were done

    Run them for 20,000 on the back and you will see the problem - but with the eagles being so soft you probably wouldn't get 20,000 out of them.

    What's the longest you have had a set just on the back of the car?
  10. ams
    It's probably worn on the inside edge
  11. ams
    They came on Jdm models as well - I have some more if anyone is after any Think correct size is 195 55 15

    There is one in the vert - I can check if it all works but dont know when ill have time
  13. ams
    If you look under mine at 227,000 miles and compare it to other 7s with 60,000 miles - mine is actually cleaner underneath - what I would say with high mileage is that suspension components do get tired / on the 7 I would say the best things to replace are the shock absorbers - you don't notice how they have no pressure in them until you drive one that has new shocks

    sorry skim read it - that would be my bet - as most people dont know about them and they get blocked
  15. ams
    are there any drain holes for the roof on the 6 - I know my mr2 - the drains were blocked as they were on my mx5 which caused lots of dampness, they were in the corners on both cars behind front seats - but yours maybe behind rear seats - they were hidden under gunk

    I was 24 when I bought my 7 - that was 10 years ago - I was into modifying and max power back then

    Is normal for fans to come on when you come to a stop If your not loosing coolant, your temp is sat normal, it's not running continuously and your heater blows hot, I wouldn't

    if the other person is claiming on there insurance, then you may as well - they will probably write it off and you can put the money to a 190

    have you checked that you have spark on all 4 coil packs - if one coil pack is faulty then the car will not start, lexus / toyota coil packs tend to fail when the car overheats - and they are often misdiagnosed as HG as a result I have used tested Coil packs if you do find you need some

    Back one can be a bit more tricky

    Happy Anniversary ams!

    Problem there is mate - you apply the loctite - screw stud in by hand - it's not quite tight - loctite sets - you then put the wheel on and tighten the nut - that also tightens the stud - that then breaks the loctite seal - you unscrew the nut and the stud comes out as well
  23. ams
    Use the 2 spanner 2 nut method - don't go crazy with it but it's got to be better than just finger tight
  24. ams
    As Shep has said did you use the 2 nut 2 spanner method to tighten the studs in - can try and explain if needed. I've always done it this way - was a bit shocked when freaky said that you could strip the threads doing this - but I would be very concerned if you could strip the threads with the torque you can get using a normal sized spanner - bearing in mind that it's holding a road wheel on.
  25. ams
    If you let the master cylinder run dry when you press the pedal then the seals can end up inverting. If you did ever let it run out, then best to open all 4 bleed nipples and keep topping up until fluid comes out if all 4 before you lock them up and use the pedal to then bleed it properly.
