had to look this one up as i said never put a torque wrench on one. but if you did want to do it then i found it (not that easy to find). 250 kg-cm = 18 ft-lb = 25 N-m for the sump plug.

buy a magnetic one and it will come with a new washer.
torgue setting is always the same, and thats my right arm. tight is tight!! (but dont over do it)
cheap enough.
-
its gold. its tiny. its definitely not you. did you buy that.
i could go on. lets just say the celica's off the road at the moment.
-
i got one of them as well. its always in the car along with the rest of the tools so if you need i will have one there.
-
i will say it then. every one knows any way but for the record the rear strut brace from the gen 6 fits the gen 5.
apart from that any thing else can be made to fit (ask princy
) -
what about 6k8? interesting and almost black....
-
thats the cookie sir.
-
top left of the steering column is a brass pin. this is the live and earth can go anywere.
there should be a contact ring attached to one of your bosses that you can use i would have thought

Mine just says.."lio"
must be some sort of japanese????
maybe worth asking oilman on here. hes helpful and seem to know his stuff.
cant say that i have ever looked in to it and just got what ever ATF i could at the time and stuck in there.

Woooow hold the phone that's a ludacrous price :/ just type in Toyota Celica delimiter and there is a £15 option that's a breeze to install at a fraction of the cost...
Sorry Cooper does look like a fancy bit of kit tho
yeah but then you will find it messes with the tacho as well and has been pointed out before that the £15 jobbies are not that accurate and people have had issues with them.
if you want fancy bit of kit then you could go the same way i did with this.
but i thought i would put up the cheaper option first.

easy this one.

all imports are limited to 112mph as its the law in japan.
-
same as above. the fact that some nice person drove in to it and its off the road until the insurance wake up and do something about it.
-
pva glue??
is it that stuff that sets clear? seem to remember using it to stick pictures but also to cover pics to make them water proof.
some old school blue peter stuff there if im thinking of the right thing. then you maybe able to clear coat over the top with out it tainting the image.
just an idea that maybe worth a go. if it turns out good enough you might not even have to clear coat it.
-
i think its only the fact that they rusted away quicker than they caught fire and had to be replaced with something else that made them catch on.
-
Because the Japanese car market is a lot more competitive due to having several domestic brands. Plus the Japanese love technology and gadgets.
and they are not scared of electrics like we are over here. well with BMC and the likes and there sterling quality of electrics its no surprise really.
-
yeah mine is a 01/01/1990 built and has folding mirrors. light years ahead just waiting for the rest of the world to catch up basically.
-
the life span on the bags is not great from what i have heard as well.
-
on a trip to pick up a land rover disco in mid wales i got 39.8mpg (or 38.9 was a while ago now) in the gen5. mostly motorway with a bit of tiny welsh tracks to find this car and back again.
worst i got was at santa pod and i think it was some thing like £20 for 4 runs so about 2 gallons to the mile. but that is a bit of waiting in line and pushing 90mph in 3rd.
-
there are a few on the club that know them inside and out. soul45 springs to mind, also some one in the gen 5 section (cant remember his forum name though) has allot of experience with them.
im guessing you mean garages for service/work though. dont know on that count. sorry not much help.
-
be careful what you order. stainless is very hard and not as strong as some steel bolts.
here is a list of sizes and strengths.
hope that helps

this is all true and it is down to the fact that plating processes have changed. the chemicals used before are no longer aloud to be used as it was arsenic based. older parts on classics would have been hard chrome or cadmium plated. these are still available today but getting the licenses to use the chemicals involved is just not worth the money you can make from them. you will only find specialist platers using them now and you pay through the nose for the pleasure. but as we know from the past that this is well worth the extra cost for something you want to have a long life.
the best plating i have come across that is still easily available is nickel but on steel you are still paying double for this over standard zinc plating.
at the end of the day its all down to money and bloddy health and safety.
(also most of this stuff comes out of china and you can never get material specs or guaranties on processes from them with any tractability = inconsistent sh!t)
but this is the "eco friendly" throw away world we now live in.

interesting that the HID thing could be open to interpretation.
the headlight cleaning and levelling point only says "when fitted" ....
so does that mean that if you have HIDs but no headlight levelling/cleaning, you're fine?
is it only a fail if you have HIDs AND headlight levelling/cleaning fitted, but the levelling/cleaning devices don't work?
as far as i have read it this is true. only have to work if you have them fitted.

have a look through this website it will give you all the info you need. takes a bit of clicking to check all cars but can be worth it in the end to get some cheap rims. pt cruiser for example, vw and scoobys. there are a few others as well.

should work as a good indicator as long as it has not be left in the box torqued up to a setting.
