Does It Matter What Coolant You Use

is there a particular one that members prefer ?

i now know silkolene xtr is the oil to buy for the engine.

Plenty of folks recommend Toyota Forlife, it's a premixed coolant/antifreeze.

I just use regular antifreeze myself. Not had any problems so far.

Ah Yes 13 Quid + Vat From Toyota Dealerships, Cheers.

Just a quick bit of advice needed after a service (had the car 2 weeks and done 1000 (fun) miles in it)

Anyway put it in and on the invoice it says the following was done:

1. Advanced Formula Motor Flush

1. Oil Filter - Toyota

5.5 Valvoline 10W40 Maxlife

1. Air Filter - Toyota

1. Fuel Filter - Toyota

6. NGK Spark Plug - BKR5EP-11

2. Service and Inspect Vehicle

The guys seemed to know there stuff and were very helpful and enthusiastic about my car. They also said the car was running very lean but that the changes made would sort that out. Apparantly, the sparks in there were white, and had more than twice the gap they should of had. Just a point to note, the person I bought it off had said that a full service had been carried out. However the oil filter and the air filter were in rag order.

They also sorted out some rubbing on full lock by sorting out my front spoiler. All in all Im quite happy with what theyve done. But is there anything Ive missed here?

Cheers

Oh yeah, any ideas what to ask for for the rear hatch rubber things to stop the rattle? And from where. Envy?

Not sure if I have this rattle thing.. Does it sound like the things rattling which hold the strechy bits that connect to the black cloth boot privicy cover?

If so, I have this problem also

Hi Marky,

there are a couple of threads about the rubber stops that have a tendency to split and make the boot hatch rattle a bit. I'm gonna get some from Envy. Apparantly its a bit of a bugger to get the screws out of the old ones. Nothing ventured.....which is about the limit of my mechanical expertise

It's not that they split, it's that they just go hard over time. New ones are pretty hard to start with!

I got mine from Toyota. Only took 2 days to get them in stock. My old ones came off quite easliy, so they're not all the pain in the ass you often hear about.

Good luck!

So do you guys think I have the same problem.. It does not sound like the actual hatch itself, more like them stretchy strap things rattling.
