Hi all
Hopefully spring is not too far away and thinking my Rev3 could do with a couple of treats
I'm just past 100k and pretty sure both the radiator and clutch are the originals. No real issues with either but the radiator doesn't look too pretty (annoying when rest of car is great) and the clutch has the occasional squeak (although last week was good as gold ).
So any recommendations gratefully received, car is 1995 UK Rev3, standard apart from Mongoose.
Cheers all
Rob

Re: Radiator & Clutch recommendations Rev3
The squeak is usually the pivot arm not having lubrication iirc, I'm assuming you mean a squeak once you push the clutch in? I wouldn't worry about the clutch unless you're getting slip or gear engagement issues.
Rad, again for an NA OEM toyota would be best as the pattern ones tend to have the bleed nipple in an awkward location. I mean you could get a fancy aly one, but the stock cooling system is perfectly fine for a std na.

I just got a MR2Ben radiator, think it has all the right holes in the right places. Reasonable price too.

Cheers yes the clutch is the dreaded squeak when you depress it, drives me nuts sometimes, other times nothing
Will get a quote on an OE Radiator as well, sometimes OE bits are pretty reasonable other times like the centre caps for diamond cut Rev4 alloys scary price.
As an aside if anyone needs a new battery get a quote from Mr T mine was substantially cheaper there than Halfords.
