  1. I've never tried, I thought I saw a post from ams stating they were bonded in tight and if you tried to remove them they broke.
  2. I once bought a car without a road test from a trader I had known for years, insurance was ridiculous, it was slow and tedious to drive and put me off the manufacture for life! The car was a VW Golf Gti Mk2 8valve. Now that was a bland car
  3. Phil who now runs the above garage trained me as an apprentice at the Toyota main dealership I worked for. My quote was "Phil taught me everything I know and I still know f@&£ all". Phils quote was " I taught Andy too much and it lost me my job" I haven't seen him for a couple of years, I will have to pay him a visit soon.
  4. Agree with this, if you removed belts, seats and rear side widows you may be able to get it classed as a van. Bulbs, brakes and steering?
  5. Happy Birthday planc!

  6. You can remove the plastic front and swop them over, but it depend how the colour change was achieved.
  7. Plug is different an will not fit. One clock is from a car with manual air con and the other is from a car with climate control. The manual air con has the outside temp on the clock, and climate control cars have outside temp on the heater control. The give away is on the left hand side of the clock, either mode or 00.
  8. Happy 6 Anniversary planc!

  9. I removed the pin from the connector block on my first gen 7 in 2001, I'm not a fan of cutting wiring looms. But I have owned this one over 5 years and the buzzer hasn't bothered me.
  10. The moisture may have stuck the shoe's to the drum, if you tap the drum with a drift it should shock the shoes off. If this is not the case I would guess the one of the cable's are grabbing.
  11. I think he means front coil spring lower cushion. As the coil is compressed and extended they tend to shear through the rubber seat (cushion). No need to replace them as new ones will split within 12 months. Best to ask the garage to make sure though.
  12. They are the same as fitted to the Price, Toyota decided to fit less grippy tyres to make it easy to get the back end out. Gen 7 had 205 width tyres.
  13. We traded that in 6 months back for a Hybrid pal, then the Hybrid got wrecked with the hailstones storm:-(
  14. Ha, I would have a fancy garage if that was the case.
