Re: Aerosol spray paint

Only thing is theres probably over 5 different varients of your grey so it might not match. Dark colours you could get away with but greys / silvers are the worst #-o What do you mean? If i give the paint code, make model and year, isnt that made to a industry standard? (hence the point of having a...

Aerosol spray paint

Has anyone bought aerosol spray paint for body work from either Halford, or www.Paints4u.com ? I have a Large Scratch/score on the side of my bumper, plus i want to do some side strips and some other bits around the car. I am pretty capable painting with aerosol paint, my only concern is the quality...

Re: newbie with a mr2 rev3 turbo powered lexus is 200

TBH, considering you found the head bolts were loose, I would throw it all back together to the correct torques and tolerances and see if it works :-$ Loose bolts could cause the head to lift and then water could get all sorts of places without any head gasket failure. Sounds good!! If the Head Gas...

Re: Coolant overheating (keteling)

:-k Id say its totally not normal

Mines never done it in 6 years untill the last 2 weeks,
now the head gasket has gone.

I think your wise to change the thermostat, maybe check coolant blockage and drain / change the whole coolant. Its not worth risking ignoring.

Re: Swerve @ 80 plus

I agree with the tire pressure issue but in this case if its the same as me its prompted by a bump in the road. For me a sweeping left hand bend is fine, just this weekend i (cough) :whistle: might have been going round the M25 and took a couple of left hand bends at 115mph :-$ On right hand one's t...

BACK TO THE TOPIC...................... Its not the spoiler (thats a daft suggestion) I get a slight un-nerving wobble from the back end of the car on right hand bends on the motorway (never left hand!!) above 70mph. :-k For example, bumps and old roadowrks, pot holes, bumps crossing a change in sur...

Is this something i can get from Halfords?
