  1. Battery was new last year but will check that out tonight after work, cheers Bob
  2. See Thorins post on fitting a foudine radiator, same method
  3. Car has always been bad for draining the battery if left for a few days and I always blamed the alarm system (TOAD). Been getting steadily worse and now draining overnight. How/where do you start looking for this (substantial) drain? Car is daily driver at moment at it would be very inconvenient to put it out of commission for any length of time
  4. Thanks guys, wheel bearing it was (or rather is).
  5. Fitted UK Spec brakes (Toyota ones ) 3 - 4 months ago. Over the last week have got symptoms similar to warped/cracked disk,kick back from pedal. It is not constant and varies in intensity quite a lot. Car does not pull to either side. Occurs when braking from all speeds unless pedal applied very firmly when it doesn't All disks approx the same tempperature Nothing visual (but not had proper look yet) Caliper bolts only checked by hand today, will check properly tomorrow Had front (only)wheels balanced, has made no difference Could a sticking piston cause these symptoms? Any other ideas welcome as very inconvenient to take disks off and send them for checking at the moment?

    What can I do?

    Try for the compensation as stated. Do not think you will be able to temove the mark as paint will be "bleached" by the limestone/cement residue which will be caustic (not acidic). Depends how deep into the paint it has penetrated,
  8. Double that last offer
  9. Suffice to say Chris is my chosen mechanic and I live 20 miles north of Inverness
  10. Think I have a print out I got off net a couple of years ago, will check when I go home tonight

    injectors

    I am full BPU+ with J Spec and no problems with injectors. If you are going single then you will have to upgrade. You J Spec or UK? UK has 550 injectors
  13. Have a nice one, young woman xx
  14. Jeremy Kyle is an arrogant man who gives counselling and advice on subjects he has absolutely no knowledge of. Dangerous to a great degree
  15. Loads of stuff on this, do a search, comes down to budget and what your wanting - going single soon myself

    Speeding Again

    McLeod shpuld be Macleod but mistake on my Dads birth certificate
  17. Got done on way to work this morning, and after some of the comments I have made on here about police in the past would just like to say (although I don't appreciate being caught) that they were very pleasant, offered me a fixed penalty as they reckoned I was not driving dangerously but they could have brung much more serious charge and they made nice comments about the car. Makes a change, gentlemen doing their job. First one in the Supra in the 4+ years I have had it and I could well be a bit over the limit every time I am out in it

    spark plugs

    I would get new breather hoses as well before doing this , mine were very brittle, broke and of course I had not purchased them

    Happy Thread

    Well done Charlotte. You must be chuffed. I am/was writing a book until I lost my vision (getting my second eye operation on Monday though so no excuses for not finishing it this winter). I know what you mean, worrying if anybody else thinks it is crap, but hey, I will get some people I don't know to read it first and if they think it is I may never have to speak to them again .... lol Good Luck

    Indicators

    Yea, stick the orange blobs back in - sell your clear ones - to me
  21. First time I have seen anything like that that I thought looked good, nice one. Like the front bumber as well
  22. The charge for my "small" number plate is not proceeding, PF must have told them to bog off
  23. Two years ago the Guy a couple of doors up from my house gave my cat stricknene (sp) because it was going in to his lovely garden (would have bought him one of those sonic thingies which work quite well apparently) but he had never complained to me. Cat was in a hell of a state for a couple of months but recovered. For some strange reason the guys garden has massive brown patches where nothing grows anymore - even cats don't go in to his garden now
