Maybe someone with a standard car with stratospheric mileage which is still going strong ? Think there are plenty of those on here. Would have thought that would be a good message to send out about how long the cars can last.
I'd love to know how high the earliest non-Sport models are !
Anyway, I'm excited, 'cos look what I've got :
Yep, it's a set of TTE lowering springs ! :D
Currently arranging to get them fitted, hopefully it will be pretty soon !
Yep, if he made something up to try and mislead the stewards then that was very, very silly. I guess he's still a very young guy and perhaps still has some growing up to do.
I *think* you have to take off the a/c and alternator belts before you can get to the power steering belt. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
rig-pig did a walkthrough on changing the drive belts here, but unfortunately the pictures seem to have gone.
I am sure you won't have done any damage yourself from what you've described. But it certainly sounds like the garage has done something wrong, hopefully they will be able to sort it out very easily (and at their expense !).
The workshop manual gives all sorts of procedures for the DTC tool giving engine data and all sorts. On that basis I assumed it was far more than an OBDII reader and probably was Toyota/Lexus-specific. But I could be wrong.
There are various tests just involving resistance that the manual suggests you can carry out here, they might be useful to test the individual speed sensors.
I asked Toyota today for a quote for spraying my (newly purchased today) TRD front lip, and they quoted me £120 plus VAT. So your price sounds pretty good !
Lol ok, for the 120K km service it says you need to replace the diff oil, replace auto transmission oil, inspect (not replace) manual transmission oil, and replace the brake and clutch fluid (amongst other things).
That's not unusual for insurance companies though, i.e. a lot won't cover modified cars. They've obviously a bit confused about factory-fitted chargers though.
My measurements (to the outside of the arch, I assume that's what you did too) are as follows :
Front approx 60mm gap.
Rear approx 80mm gap.
I think some lowering is in order !
