no problem, shouldbe able to get a pic-up in a day or two

just liked to say how impressed i with the shiftboot and servis
i inquired about having a smaller "O-ring" so that my TRD gear knob
wouldbe flush with boot, because the TRD gear knob is thinner at the base
compare to the OE, and was well happy with the result and excellent servis
so highly recomended to others

Hi id like to purches one of these shift boots
was unsure about the size i needed, but the one in the pic is the one i want
could you PM me the PAYPALY payment details with delivery to the UK thanks

thanks for the quick reply, was told that the halfords stuff
was good, but like you say `hard to belive` i will be spraying
mine-up when i insulate the chargecooler, before the weather gets hotter, seeing as i can get at-it better with the cooler-off! thanks

Hi mate nice 4, im from uk also, and just woundered what spray
you used for the turbo heat shield? thanks

Hi, thanks for the reply, i was lead to belive that they do fit,
and that the fasia of th 6th gen will cover the wider 7th gen unit
can you confirm this, or do you know of someone who has tryed this
already, cheers

Hi all, thinking of replaceing me 6th gen cd/stereo with a 7th gen unit
can anyone confirm if they are a direct replacement or not,
and if anyone has allready done this, could they give some advise
as ive not actually seen a 7th gen cd/stereo, cheers

Thanks for explaining that as i didnt know! just thought they where rare,
didnt mean to offend anyone

it wernt ment to be offensive, i know they are harder to get in the US,
as they are rarer over-there but what do you mean by illegal?

just get a ST205 gt4

try buying these in the UK and theyll cosy double that!!

Hi, had the same problem when i wanted a new cd player, change the whole
unit or try to re-place the cd alone, ended up with a very new used-whole unit out of
a import celica, even better spec with mini-disc, no hasstle with installation, just
straight-in, so if like me, you want to keep the car original, just have a look around,
as most like to replace theyer standard audio with after market,

as in the above post, the hole is for a sensor, i also think its for a EFM sensor
there should be a electrical connector attached with a `cone shaped plug` which goes
into the filter inside the box, cant see why yours doesnt have one, also could be the
reason your haveing problems with the idle, as when you give it some throttle, the car
is not registering the air-flow properly,

any luck with pics mate?

Hi mate, yes, if the car has had work done on it, like you say
especally the clutch, then 9/10 the abs sensor will get damaged
and as for a good breakers for `new` and used parts TCB (toyota cornwall breakers)
will be the only number you will need! theyer the cheapest for new parts and they
are all `genuine toyota` great servis and you can get all the hard to find bits there
usually, and as for your `air-box` without a pic, im pretty sure that its not suposed to have
any holes at all, its a possibility that some one has made the hole or holes, to get the induction
`noise` that you get with a `cone type` filter,
ive seen it done before but usually ther are a few hole drilled into the airbox
possible solution is replace the box, which should be quite cheap at TCB
or remove the box and replace with a `cone or mushroom filter` a word of warning
thou, if you do get a `cone filter` they a quite loud, so if you drive the car regularly
you may want to bare that in-mind,
so give TCB a ring for the part your looking for thyer servis is A1
tel: 01579 383879

also will try and get a link for theyer site for you

alright mate, checked your `abs codes`

32, problem in front left, wheel speed sensor (WSS)
35, open in front left or rear right wheel speed sensor (WSS)
41, battery voltage too-low or too-high (under 9.5volts)
or over (16.2volts), check battery and charging system,

as far as the first two go, have you had any work done on the front left
of the car?
as they are quite easy to damage (and expensive) can try TCB

and for the last, from what youve said the car doesnt seem to have been
looked after as maybe as well has it should have been?
sounds like a cheap fix tho, as its probable just a duff battery,

Hi mate, glad you were able to read the abs codes, ok, first thing first, like i said
in the above post and confirmed by your discreption, the car dose need a `full servis`
air filter, fuel filter, oil filter ht leads, and plugs and also a change of good quality oil, sounds
like the person before you hasnt bothered with the servises as things dont usually get that bad,

try and do `all` these at the same time as you may still have problems if you try and just
replace a few things!

as for the abs codes, they dont read in singles if you know what i mean, there is a slight pause
between each number to make-up a two digit number, ie your codes sound like: 32, 35, 41,
(will post up the meaning to these tommorow)

also the best place for cheap genuine toyota parts in the uk is: TBC, toyota, breakers, cornwall
dont know if youve heard of them, but they do new genuine toyoyta parts a fair bit cheaper than toyota
also the best place to go for good second hand parts, and exellent servis
(will give you address, if required)

also while your at it, may aswell check for any `error codes`
similar as the abs codes, but go to the `diagnostic port` and with the paper-clip, bridge the TE1-E1
`no need` to remove the `silver clip` to the front of the port as you did with the abs codes,
switch-on the ignition and count the ` engine light` if the light comes on at a steady rate of about 1
flash a second, it means everything is ok `fingers crossed` if not like the abs, you will get single
numbers that will make-up a two digit number,

hope this helps

Hi, possible a o2 sensor, but first, has the car had a servis, fuel filter, oil filter, oil change,points and
plugs? if it hasnt had a `good servis` for a-while would be looking in that direction first,

What i mean is is it serial data or just a case of counting pulses out of the fault code socket? I'm an electronic engineer so if i can find out what type of data it is and get a list of codes then i will be able to knock up a reader with ease.

all you need is a paper-clip, find the `diagnostic port` located to the right rear of the fire-wall,
open-it, and there shoud be a diagram of the terminals inside the lid
get your paper-clip and bridge the terminals, `TC - E1` you will also need to remove the
`silver` connectin-pin to the front of the port,
now turn-on the ignition and the abs light will flash, count the `abs flashes` and you will get
the `code` for the problem` cant find the list at moment, but let us know what you get and i will
get back to you on the meaning of the code,

and as for the oil warning light, except for the obvious of the car haveing low oil,
its probably a sender problem, like mentioned above,
its an expensive fix thou, uk £170-£200, you could try to find the sender and try to `clean`
but they seem to be tempramental, so best way if you dont want to pay-out at the moment
is to check the oil level regularly `which should be done anyway` and if you cant live with the light-on
and remove the bulb from
the dash
