I have a toyota Townace KR-42 (1998) with a 7K-C engine (Automatic transmision). About 3 months ago I had a Radiator block and had to change the thermostat, gasket, and repaired the radiator. However, after I ran for some time the engine started to shiver in a way that the whole vehicle vibrates. Every day for the 1st 20 mins or so the vehicle runs smoothly but after the temperature meter raises a bit it starts to shiver and when I accelerate a bit (on neutral) the shivering stops & when I let it go the shivering sometimes stops but then again it starts all over again when I accelerate to move on the road.
Any suggestions to why this is happening and how to resolve it?
Officially joined the thel-hinganna normie horde with ....drumroll... a 2025 Vezel... I am eagerly anticipating joining the 'thel keeyak karanawada' debates at almsgivings.
Recently, got the opportunity to see and get inside of The one and only Japanese V12, Toyota Century(a.k.a Japanese Rolls Royce). Is it really upto Rolls Royce standards? Nope, I don't think so. Items like Switches and mirror housings are in plastic. But, we can be assured that the dashboard will not light up like Christmas and would run forever....
...and just like that from having parking space issues a few month's back I'm car-less.
The cost of renting something for a month or two (even more - personal imports have been quite messy of late) made me wonder if it actually makes sense to buy a quickly disposable car and get rid of it in a couple of months - but it seems the 'popular' models aren't moving. A few messages to sellers (registered owners) on marketplace resulted in them sending me daily price reduction updates.
Sleepless nights have begun. I'm twisting between SL320 and SL500. Should I just pay additional 2000 euros more and go for the SL500 and go broke or settle with a SL320?
