RobSheffield Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Whats wrong with the rear lights? Get a second opinion on the bushes - unless its high mileage? ABS light could be dry solder perhaps? Tyres are down to you, preparation is the key to success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoSupra Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Rear's aint got no fogs cos they are Facelift, so i got a set on order with Toyota (really cheap) Wishbone bushes are nakerd, so i bought 2 new arms. Again from Toyota Front tyred are worn on inside edge. Im really pissed off bout them cos they got 6mm left outer and centre. And it has been 4wheel alligned! ABS might be that yeah, the cluster has been in and out of that car so many times I'll get it sorted this Sat, i can never be arsed working on my own car. Customers and Friends, fine, But my own no... dunno why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADL Mark Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Why don't you just wire the inner most lights up as the fog lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Not good mate, especially as you say, with the timing. I ALWAYS go through a pre-MOT check over of the car a week or so beforehand, and if I spot anything try to get it sorted there and then. Get new tyres and stuff. It'll be ok mate - sounds like you've got it in hand anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoSupra Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Ohhh im not pissed off with the car at all!!!! Over 2years of ownership, and 40,000 miles... and this is the 1st spendage that not aftermarket!!! Apart from brakes Just a bit 'grrr' that i'll be really skint doing this house up. Mind you, i wont have to fork out on Paint n stuff now do i :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoSupra Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 They've only failed on one front tyre, but as you say, i do get things checked over.. and i though, nah they wont fail on them (seen worse tyres been passed) and i'm not putting just one tyre on the front, it'll pull like a Slag in BlackPool. and the bussiness with the rear fog, well... i thought they would have passed it, we send all our MOT's to them Jag and LandRover, so i thought they might have done a bit of a favour.. i can understand them failing bushes, i had a look myself, and yep they're shagged!!! At least they didnt fail on emission's.... Fully Decated she is (in Yoda voice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 How quickly do you need the suspension arms Dan? I'm sure I can save you a lot, but would take a few weeks to order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
