    Is this carnage you suffered still ongoing or just a bad era of the past?

     

    It's an on/off situation over the last three years. I had a collection of repairs to do on the car and while it sits waiting for me to fix them the car becomes a piece of 'recreational equipment' for the kids to play on. When I complained to their parents the answer I got from them was "well, you're not using it...", the second time I complained the answer I got was more direct - "F*** Off !"

    Do any of you have any mysterious damage that magically appears on your Celica?

     

    Yes, by a boy of similar age to your neighbours - 8/9 year old.

     

    It started off as "mysterious" then I realised the damage began shortly after the new neighbours moved in.

     

    The list so far...

    Both headlight washers jets broken off.

    Countless scuffs and scratches on the bonnet due to him using it as a slide.

    Lefthand sidelight broken.

    Drivers door lock blocked up with a piece of wood (twig).

    Front reg' plate pulled off.

    Him and his friends seen sitting on the roof of the car.

     

    All done while the car was in a communal parking area.

    Where or how did you get to the above??

    If you are comparing my screenshot to what you see on your computer, then it will be different because I'm using Linux KDE Neon and you are probably using some version of Windows.

    Already said im a tech dinosaur. 

    Can you explain how please Xanadu

    Sorry for the late reply, I've not visited recently.

     

    So, right-click page one of the thread and select "Save Page As..."

     

    You should now see something similar to the screenshot below. Choose to save as "Web Page, complete" and add a number - 01, 001, etc - at the end of the file name, but before .html, this will keep the pages in the right order.

    You will have to repeat the above for each page.

     

    Once you've got all the pages you need, you can put everything - files and folders - into one folder of your own choice.

  4. The liquid around the tooth in your photo does seem to have a redish tint to it which would indicate that it is coolant (Toyota Forlife / Long Life Coolant is red in colour) but removing the matrix isn't a job I would like doing myself. If you can find a way to bypass the matrix using a piece of rubber tube, that might be the best short term option to stop any more leaks inside the car.

    ... I decided to try a local garage and I've never seen such a long list of advisories... Fortunately, someone put me on to another garage and the same car has subsequently passed another 2 MoT's with no advisories.

     

     

    If you can find a "dedicated" MoT testing business you will find their results are far more honest. They don't do repairs so it's left to the vehicles owner to take it to a garage or do the repairs themselves. Local councils will sometimes offer this 'no axe to grind' service in between maintaining their own vehicles.
