I've been trying to persuade my Grandad to replace his 2014 Toyota Yaris with it as he was quite impressed when I showed it him last week but I'm not having much luck! It started off at £2995 now at £2000. It's fast becoming a bargain! Also, how's my old car? Done anymore jobs on it? |

I'd agree with the exhausts, but I sort of like that badge.... it's different! Just needs some TLC Well your old car has been refusing to start quite a bit! It seems to like to have more than 1/4 tank of fuel at all times, it'll need brakes and a damn good engine flush too, as the tappets are clattering like mad when you try to get a shift on! Still providing reliable, comfortable daily transport, but wishing the air con was working today....

Yes James said about it having trouble to start when I rang up about my alternator, which really surprised me as I've never had any trouble.
Several people have told me you should always keep a 75 above 1/4 of a tank but I can't remember exactly why. I think it's to do with the in tank pump? I imagine it gets a bit warm in there without the air con in weather like this! As I bought the car in August and sold it at the beginning of May it wasn't too much of a issue. We tried to re gas the air con at work not long after I bought it, and if I remember correctly a pipe has rubbed through. |
