How my alloys are now... I got bored so I photoshopped what they will look like...

Im gonna miss my chrome alloys

thanks, google reckons a lot of vw's are the same and some subarus

yeah i suppose. apparently theyre not as urgent as dave made out, got to be done before mot in august so il keep my eye out for alloys before then. still dont know what wheels fit celicas though, neither me or dave have any idea about any of them codes and every website ive looked at says different

Thanks Carla but they dont send to IOW

not when hes only got 2 tyres for them and theyre smaller than mine

ive found a part worn tyre place in portsmouth ive told him to visit on sunday. but my alloys are still pretty screwed, i love them so much but it would be cheaper getting new ones than getting them filled and rechromed. daves only got 2 tyres for the gen 7 alloys and personally i HATE the gen 7 alloys and everyone has done it. I wanna be a bit different. plus i like 17"s

Hi peeps, does anyone know what other cars have the same wheel fitment as a celica? Im in urgent need of 2 tyres but looks like itl be cheaper to get a full new set of alloys (as much as I love my current alloys, theyre damaged beyond repair)

Pretty sure whatever was wrong with my car has fixed itself. I am using Daves battery and he is using my dead one. Ive driven my car most days since it "died" and it has started first time every time. shouldnt be anything wrong with the starter motor, it was replaced a few months ago, (with an old one but still). before the battery situation last week it used to hesitate before it started but that seems to have stopped now too, definately something weird and special going on with my car but Im not complaining!!

we cant charge anything, our battery charger doesnt work. daves is in my car and the one the AA guy said was dead is in his car. Both cars are working fine now but Im still confused why only 1 of the 3 batteries works in mine and all 3 works in his. Not going to use the one we bought yesterday, it leaks

hes says incase he accidently disturbed something while changing it. my "dead" battery is working fine in his car so we're very confused

no, not ran it since yesterday ok the plot thickens. we put my old battery, the one the AA guy said was completely dead into daves car and it started first time and is running at 14.2v dave is going to check the earths, we know of 2, on top of the gear box and near the headlights. are there anymore on a gen 5? the problem is that our 3 batteries all work in daves car including the one the AA guy declared as dead and the only battery that seems to work in mine is daves. its clearly not a battery problem

ok we have progress but its weird first tried starting my car with my battery, no luck switched batteries round, daves in mine, mine in daves. daves in mine started first time and is running at 14.2v mine in daves was slightly hesitant but did start first time and is running at 12.4v is it possible that daves car (rev3 engine) needs less power to start up than mine?

the starter just clicks when i try to start it the dash lights stay bright didnt try either of my batteries in daves car, will get him to do that today we also did the whole bashing the starter motor thing and that did nothing multimeter reading of battery while running is 14.2v, alternator very similar

you dont think its worth fully charging? cant afford a new one so i cant work for a while if charging it doesnt work

i didnt but dave said it would

yes, it was dark so lights on

hes refusing to do it. he says if it does start after an our of charging then its screwed and theres no point doing it

yeah we did, his battery started first time in mine which is why we think it is the battery. didnt try mine in his though. daves convinced our battery charger doesnt work

so is that really all it is? we have a battery charger but not sure if it works

how long for? after we jumped it in tesco, i tried starting it again when we got home straight away and it didnt work. This sucks

no the other battery we fitted was dead but we did charge it for over an hour by driving it the AA guy said that a new battery would fix it. I said to him if its got a short then surely itl need new wires and he still said just the battery. Any way of finding exactly where the short is?

Hi guys and gals. Like the title says, other than a dead battery is there any other reason why a car would need a jump? Yesterday my car wouldnt start, lights work, everything and it clicks when I try and start it. Called out the AA and he said the battery charges but doesnt hold charge and I need a new battery. So we got another battery, tried that and that didnt work either but it did when we jumped it off Dave's car. We kept it running and driving for over an hour, went shopping and when we got back to the car it wouldnt start again. Luckily a passer by offered us a jump. So what Im asking is do we need another battery (the one we got was second hand but the guy said it worked fine) or is there something else wrong with it. It doesnt appear to be the alternator, that's giving out the right voltage, as is the battery. The AA guy did say there was a short in it and it could cut out if I went over a bump but he didnt say where and when I questioned him he was convinced a new battery would sort the problem, which it didnt

hexis FTW

i do wrapping if ur interested. i did all of ghoulies interior
