Is this something that can be done at home or best leaving to a professional? Most of the garages I’ve called are all fully booked so struggling to find someone.

Hi Steve No I’ve not tried Eurocar parts. Just tried checking online but it’s not recognising the reg and when I enter the details manually it’s not listing anything before 1976

Wonder if someone would be able to point me in the right direction. I’m after a starter motor for my 1972 2.0 auto Mk3. Can’t seem to find the correct one anywhere. Or even if there’s someone that maybe able to repair this one in the Leeds area. thanks in advance

Same issue with mine it’s just stopped working and came across this. So what mine does is it’ll work when you pull the adjuster screw and keep it pulled out but as soon as you let it go it stops. Prior to this it was working fine and rarely lost time. Any thoughts greatly appreciated

Hi im after a front valence for a 1972 GXL please any help greatly appreciated ash

The engine issues were burning oil and head gaskets. It affected the 2.2 Diesel engines from 2006-2011. Toyota extended the warranty on these models up to 7 years or 100K miles providing you had a service history.... more information here: http://forum.rav4driversclub.com/thread/69/charliefarlies-guide-diesel-series-engine

Mines in about similar condition as this one. I’m hoping one pop ups but no rush to get one

I’m in Bradford. There’s not much going on here in terms of older cars. My last car didn’t need any work at all just a repaint so was straightforward. I’m really limited to what I can do but always try and attempt what I can.

I’ve never attempted something like that before but yeah your right Most won’t touch it. The other sides ok but as John Mack has mentioned it does look as if it’s been done before. I didn’t realise that but now it makes sense. Not sure why though, it looks pretty solid and there’s no holes on the other side. I’m not too bad with DIY but never attempted welding. Plus with a spinal cord injury not a good idea

Thanks Johnny I was thinking the same. does anyone know of any good body shops around the West Yorkshire area?

Was rubbing the rear wheel arch down as there was a little bit of bubbling. Turned out it wa snore than a bubble. what would you do with this? Would it be a repair or shall I replace it with a new arch?

Have you got a link Tibb? I can’t find it. Apologies am useless with computers

Right so probably an old alarm. Before my time then I’ve never seen one like this before the first alarms I can recall were Moss I think I remember my dad having one in his Sierra and I used to love playing around with it when someone walked past by switching it on and off from the front room.

I’ve not come across one as of yet. I saw one just before Christmas but it was taken off before the actual end of the auction

I’m in the process of removing the fuel tank today. I found this electrical connection for something which I have no idea what it is. The wires run under the carpet so have not been able to follow them and in the petrol cap area there’s some sort of switch that is controlled by the key. Any thoughts please as I have no idea. There’s no key either that fits this with the keys I was given either so even more confusing
