It's just a fail safe for idiots really so you don't go into first or vice versa. Never really bothered me tbh
Suppose I deserved that for being honest.

I like the beep. Especially when I jump in and select reverse without thinking. It's not very often that I do that. But in 5 yrs of ownership probably done it 3times. So it's nice just to be warned by the beep.

I had two mitchelin pilot sport 3's put on the rear. Supposed to be very good in the wet.
Has anybody else tried them

Well went to costco and told them I needed two tyres and he said to put them on rear. Seems like it's the new way of thinking. !!!!

FOR SALE:
2x Ling Long Bing Bong 215/45/17 tyres. New and unused. Fit 'em on the back for safety. £40ono
Dam it. What a great offer. Unfortunately I've just swapped to 18's or I would have had them.
Looks like the AA also recommend new tyres to the rear. Should have probably looked there first instead of opening this can of worms. Lol

See. Now this is why I am confused as to the best thing to do. Would buy 4 but unfortunately funds are low and will be off sick for 6weeks soon. Due to operation next week. So two is the most I can do.
Can anyone give a conclusive answer as to why back is better than front.?
-
Cheers guys.

Got a rather nasty threaded stud sticking out of the very outer edge of my tyre. If this can't be repaired I will need a new tyre. Seeing as my other rear tyre is close to being replaced aswell, do I put two new ones on the front or rear.? Seen quite a few conflicting opinions on this. So any advice greatly appreciated.

Lol
Yeah should have chose my words a little bit better. Doh!

I bought a halfords cheap one about ten yrs ago. Still works fine.
Just re grease the internal barrelevery now and again when it stops working.And hey presto another yrs pumping trouble free.

Sorry buddy. Must have been the way I read it.But then again I had just finished reading them stupid topics in newbies from our Spanish friend.
Must have got me all muddled up. Lol
-
Only after a set of leather seats. Not the whole car.
But you are right. I missed out on two celicas due to distance. But I've still got the one I bought 5yrs ago and still very happy. Seats just looking a touch tired

Why is everything so far away.

Great news buddy. Glad you have found the love again. :-D

Mine was worn carrier pins. Causing a Clacking noise from front pads.

Glad to here you are having second thoughts mate.
I was like this last December. Mine had turned into an oil burner over night. Got ridiculous. Seriously thought of getting rid. But ams came to the rescue with a spare engine and I've not lookedback since. Had 4yrs trouble free motoring. 6 months of dilemma. But now ivejust entered yr 5of ownership and really happy again. Just spent a load on breaks all round with an avensis front caliper upgrade. So hopefully I will now have some more trouble free motoring.
Keep the faith buddy.

Found this. It tends to agree with toiletduck

As long as you had mot at the time of the accident you were covered on insurance side ..
If you now want to claim for a whiplash injury go through your insurance
If you just want to claim for the damage that was actually caused then thats what the company are offering
Its entirely up to you what you do ,my personal opinion on whiplash injury claims is probably best not mentioned as its only my opinion ,
I had the most minor and i mean minor of bumps in my van at no more than 3 miles an hour
The guy got out of his van rubbing his feckin neck ...examined his vehicle not even a scratch on the plastic bumper !!
As soon as he asked if it was a company vehicle ...and i told him yes ...but i own the business ..he stopped rubbing his neck
Nuff said
Whiplash is a very real condition. I know this because I still suffer from it. Like I've posted before, people fraudulently claiming whiplash are a bunch of arxxholes.
But when you've been rear ended in a stationery car by some idiot doing 60+ mph, your neck and shoulders are not designed to take that kind of impact without serious injury.
I've been hit three times now thru no fault of my own. And I now suffer from a condition called thoracic outlet syndrome. This is directly linked with whiplash injuries. I will be going for surgery in September to have my top rib basically removed and some muscle removed aswell to relieve the pressure on my thoracic artery and nerve bundle.. At this present moment in time, I literally have no pulse in my right arm when I raise it above horizontal. Due to compression of the artery. At the same time the nerve bundle gets trapped and I have next to know feeling in my fingers.
I am not looking forward to the operation at all.
So yes I agree people falsely claiming for whiplash are idiots. But whiplash and it's after effects yrs later can be very serious.
-
Same here as above mate. Especially if you are now in pain. Talking from experience mate having been hit 3times in the rear. Whiplash is a real pain. And as above your chassis may have taken more impact than you realise.
If you are insured even without your mot then reporting it is a no brainer. I'm sure there's others on here with accurate info when it comes to insurance/mot.

Sad to hear this buddy. Obviously she seen pound signs with you showing interest. Pity she didn't understand what you were trying to do. ie save a celica from turning into a puddle of muck.

Technically yesterday. But a brand new set of genuine mats.
