Dear friends, my car (Toyota 121) has a persistent “daka daka” sound coming from the rack.Rack ends, CV joints and all others are fine. The rack was replaced 2 yrs ago but then the issue re-appeared recently.M..t..r.. garage toldme to replace the entire rack again, whereas another mechanic suggested to apply grease adjust the rack since it was fixed only 2 years ago.The latter is cost effective though I doubt its sustenance. (yes.. combed thr AutoLanka forum!). I also feel that I was caught to a bad rack last time, but the selection and fixing of the reconditioned rack was entirely handled by a garage as I am not that familiar with the subject. My bad. Now that fixing a new rack is looming again, I wonder how I could select a proper reconditioned rack and where to look for it. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
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?
