  1. Unless you overhauled your engine, Going back on the viscosity grade is not smart if your not having a brand new car,..the fact that the engine is consuming oil is a sign that it's ready for SAE40 Using oil ment for a newer engine isn't gonna make your oldie new again,.. the thicker oil would also be useful in our tropical climate in maintaining oil pressure. So change to the oil Viscosity used previously and enjoy care free motoring..
  2. That no is older from what I know.
  3. Every man needs a dream, hence the term "Dream car" And seriously , Are there any females here? My advise is, Any thing other than an Audi will be an upgrade for you.. Good luck.
  4. Well truth betold, We shouldn't give a rats on what the owner does as long as he spends the time and money to properly look after his car. Smart guy, the owner is, Once he's done sucking the life out of a car,he sells it with a lame excuse. TT.
  5. 2. This means a replacement used automatic gearbox. Having said that, Start with a good service of the existing unit, Toyota mak'em tough.l Besides, We don't go replacing gear boxes just because we don't have anything better to do on a Sunday afternoon. ATF stands for Automatic Transmission Fluid . for your car it's a red colored fluid looking like cough syrup AKA the life blood of the gear box. Recommend a place specializing on Auto boxes for a good service.-*Ref previous posts Remember, Maintenance is cheaper than Repair/replacement. Ah, Do you have any idea of it's maintenance history? as the 2C engine is having a timing belt and must be replaced every 100 000km with genuine stuff. And if the car was maintained at Daragarage, you can be guaranteed that it's a cheap knock off and will last less than thee recommended mileage Cheers..
  6. Congrats bro,.on your up coming upgrade. Having said that, your getting a car nearly 20 years old. And will have the probs of a car having been driven half way to the moon. you'll prob need 1. Full engine o/.h .2.reco trans + system flush. ( prob never saw an ATF change.) 3. New suspension. 4. New brakes ( since it's auto) Good luck! Note: These recommendations were made taking into account local driving conditions, Fuel-quality and sulpher content,and typical engine oil I wouldn't use to lubricate my wheelbarrow.
  7. More like abused than used.
  8. 2 866866 CALL THEM !
  9. While at the alignment center,get all wheels balanced. As a balancing weight may have fallen off.
  10. Simple answer to complicated question,.. Go to Toyota Lanka, Point to what you want & say how many! All important - Warrenty." comes only from them. Cheers!
  11. May be it's time for a service, Any idea of the service history on your car? Don't wait till the stops going all together, the endless hours spent in the tropical operating conditions may be taking their toll. P.s. Kindly refer the thread of the previous 260 with the blown 'box
  12. Buy the same car made by Hyundai. It ticks more of the above points.The Hyundai Santro

    If you're replacing the parcell shelf, why not upgrade to 6x9? way cooler and handles more power - what's your head unit? The power of a good subwoofer ! no offence, but try getting this with 'em 6 inchers!

    There's a small size difference with the 6.5 in model Make sure the bottom rim is fully flush and makes an air tight seal with the mounting surface.

    The last word. Pioneer, 6 in 3way they get the job done. No fuss, No mess! just get them professionally installed Warning: there are copies and copies of copies. of them so be careful. might I recommend a sub to top the conversion? Good luck bro!
  20. Get a goo set of racing plugs+leads, and pop in a free flow air filter, Cheap and effective!
  21. You're comparing apples to oranges bro.Depends on where you maintain the car. The local agent for Pug, - there ok ,nothing exceptional. Toyota - they are right up there as the best car company in the world. Yes there are copies, and copies of copies of Toyota parts. But not for Pug in SL.
  22. Back to the drawing board,.. Biggest prob is the transmission. BMW Auto boxes have one replacement part. The entire unit.+
  23. Your car's agent also brings down Castro#
