just wondered if anyone out there has removed the boot lid before and if so is it a nightmare, any advice welcomed.

Had It Fitted Today Quiet As A Mouse Now Thanks For The Advice

thanks for the replies folks it turns out to be the auxillary drive belt tensioner thats gone stiff and the bearing is shot ordered new from local toyota dealer 80 quid plus the dreaded vat, so not too expensive a fix:)

i have just checked heat shield and taken it off, still does it,ive put a screwdiver on to timing belt cover to listen for noise and itsmore like a clicking noise

thanks guys forgot to mention its a n/a and auto, im hoping it nothing sinister

just wanted ideas as to what this noise could be, thought it was the aircon, but it appears when it is not on i am getting a rattle noise from behind the timing belt cover( or this is where it appears to come from). i first noticed it when my air con kicked in on idle , so turned a/c off and the noise is around 850rpm, but goes when any more revs are applied only noticable when bonnet up, but annoying never the less. with the air con on and idling the noise appears everytime the a/c pulley kicks in, but i think this is coincidental. any help greatfully appreciated

to all those viewing just had adjustment arms fitted absolute nightmare to take old ones off 3 hours of hard graft. car drives like a dog but in for adjustment tomorrow should be the business after that. for information toyota supplied arm and bolt for 80 quid a side. will post details on handling as soon as adjustment and new tyres fitted tomorrow

thanks for the fast reply chris had car on ramps today at my mates garage, managed to free off the nut but the bolt is just turning with the rubber bush, i have ordered parts from toyota through him at trade they have ordered the arm and the bolt 90 quid a side does this sound too cheap like they have the wrong part or is that about right.

Afterm as much help as possible please. rear tyre has worn on inner edge in about 4000 miles so as per other threads took car for a full alighment checkup ie caster,camber and toe. The machine showed that all the cambers were within tolerance but the rear toe needed adjusting as the thrust angle was incorrect. All was good until they tried adjusting the necessary parts, and found that althought the nut was easy to undo the bolt side appeared to be ceased,( is this a common problem) they recommended that i get new arms for the rear is this the only alternative or is there another option toyota have quoted 125 quid +vat for each side this seems cheap so do you think they havent quoted for the correct parts any help greatly appreciated, also handling is shocking , 40 mph on roundabout and rear end starts to slide im assumin this is due to incorrect rear toe setting HELP

had exactly the same problem, used the odo wire fix and havent had a problem for over 12 months

you dont have to spend a fortune i have a powerflow stainless exhaust system with de cat and it sounds the business, cost around 250 quid

just to let you all know i have changed the plugs today and luckily because you have to take off the throttle body we found it was seriously caked up with black deposit, we have cleaned it and all appears well:)

been talking to supra tuners they have said because all i do is short journeys there is every chance the spark plugs are fouled up and this combined with the shaort runs will be killing economy i will get back to everyone and let them now the outcome

not really hard, and had an mot since de cat and emissions still very low. it has got me stumped, 20 quid for 50 miles is terrible i might as well have a ford gt40

i am currently getting about 11-12 mpg from mkiv n/a auto i have tested for fault codes are none are present . the 2nd cat has been removed and im running a stainless exhaust system, with blitz sus air filter, and iridium spark plugs, car is always serviced regularly i only have a 4 mile trip to work and am wondering if this poor mpg is due to short distance travel any ideas welcomed .

you might find it easier to remove the full panel, about eight screws, start from boot and work round, hope thius helps
