It would be a good idea to flush the whole system through and not just the matrix at least you can have piece of mind it's been done . ye it can be a pain in the arse to bleed the air out after . if you do decide to flush the whole system then you need to take out the thermostat befor you flush it and put it back in when you have finished flushing extra work i know but worth it

sorry to say but it will be dash out job to change the matrix . befor you do that if it's not leaking try flushing it through . take the 2 pipes off in the engine bay that go to the heater the 2 you tested for heat . flush the matrix through use a hose pipe. flush it through untill it runs clear . done my matrix about a month ago and what a pain in the butt it was to taking the dash out . not an hard job just a long frustrating job with alot of blue air at times .

you can get a clip on type that clips strait to the belt there on ebay type in seat belt helper and it will bring up all diferent colours could help for what you need . don't know how to put link up sorry

that's rite that's the 1. the heater pipes are the 2 pipes just to the left of where you have them marked

could well be the fuse, the heater pipes are the 2 pipes that go through the bulkhead into the car heater matrix it's the only 2 rubber hoses that enter through into the car. should be on the pasenger side towards the top of the bulkhead . not sure if you have a bleed screw on 1 of the heater pipes just befor it enters through the bulkhead on the g7 if so you can bleed it through there if not i bleed mine through the rad cap and or exspantion cap

Mine was doing this fixed it now it was the small electric box as mine's electronic it opens & shuts the internal door in the heater matrix the 1 that closes in front of the heater core to stop the heat entering the car . i disconected it and opened the door by hand untill i got a replacment box . if yours is a slider cable it could have came disconected or if it's electronic it could be the black electric box on the bottom of the matrix . have you checked the heater pipes to see if you have heat in both pipes the inlet and outlet pipes if 1 is clod it could just well be an airlock in the system and needs bleeding . sorry about any speeling mistakes as you all no its not my strong point lol

I do around 250 a week in the 6 months of the year it's on the rd as the auttum & winter months it's garaged and only start it up to run 1 a week befor it comes back out to play in the spring . this will be the first time for the celica as i have only had it a few monts. we use the shogun in the auttum & winter months

agreed iv'e been looking for performance plugs . but read on hear that iridiums r hit and miss so stuck with the standard ngk's like the ones that i just took out as it ran fine no misfire . y change from somthing you no works well

1500 will do fine use plenty of water and not to much presure

done my mirrors for the same reason and always sand it back b4 the laquer i use real fine wet and dry with plenty of water . water is the key use plenty of it then laquer then t/cut and polish this is the finished mirror

Only use mine on long trips for the kids to watch a dvd as the screen is removable in the back with headphones for them to ware so i can still have the cd on foe me and the wife . got a seperate dvd & cd player . we only set the dvd screen up when were are going on a long trip

As stated there is a few treatments u can use to slow it down but wont get rid of it the only way is to cut it out

i dun mine on my gen 5 with ordinary spray paint . but saying that i have heat wraped the manifold and also put a heat mat on the inside of the cover to i also wraped the brackets that the cover bolts to and its still as the day i sprayed it ho and i toped it of with a heat clear coat

its a nice car but wouldnt suite ur needs m8 this is what i use for the snow and its great fun . dont have to worry about the wife runing off with the celica she cant drive as of yet lol but she is learning and wonts it when she has passed

ive always used the jet washer that the missis bought me for a birthday a few years back u can make the jet smaller to do engine bays done the shogun lots of times ant got round to doing the celica as of yet though

if u have a trailor u can take it and have it weiged in wont get a great deal for an empty shell but will save paying some 1 to take it away pluss extra money for u on top of the parts u sell u could make a fair bit with the parts and the shell
