Thanks mate! Mike

Hi all, Driving to work this morning, my engine light came on. I pulled over, switched off and left it for a few moments and when I started it up again, the light was off. It came on again about 5 minutes later. This happened about 3 times and then stopped happening for the rest of my journet to work. Nothing seemed untoward with the car, it was running at the normal temperature and everything seemed OK. It's just been picked up for a service, so I'm hoping that will sort the problem, but I don't know. Any advice? Thanks guys, Mike

Woo!! Passed! Looks like it was that vacuum hose that through everything out of whack! Damn am I relieved! Thanks for your help guys! Mike

I reset the ECU and ran the car for about 20 mins, there was some white smoke. But it hasn't been run for about a week, I'm getting the retest tommorow, so I'll let you know how it goes. Someone said that my lambda sensor may have gone... hope not.

Hmz, Not sure, I've not had them removed. But I don't know if they were removed before I bought it. Mike

Thanks for the reply. He fixed the hose, but it still failed. Natural idle was OK. It was the revs idle that failed. Sorry to sound dumb, but what are 0 cats? Cheers, Mike

Hi all, Just failed my MOT on emissions. There was a vacuum hose that was leaking air which the guy fixed for me, he seemed to think that this might have affected a sensor somewhere down the line. Whats the best course of action now? Thanks. Mike

So, many months on and I have solved my problem. I replaced the shocks. Stock Toyota ones, no knocking now. Just bouncy bouncy as I drive over Croydon's finest pot holes. Cheers, Mike

Mine does it too! I love it!

HAHA! Thats quality. *jots it down in his new compilation "Top 100 excuses for spending money"*

lol, Why did I never think of that as an excuse; "But darling, I need to spend more money on it, it's simply not fast enough dear!".

I should have said, mines completey stock, even the wheels.

I've had 150 out of mine (obviously on a track, although it was a little bit M25 junction 7 shaped) That was before I boltled and slowed down, I reckon there was still a bit to go. Mind you, that was the day after I bought her. I think my bottle has gone up a bit now.

Supra_Al, Does this happen only when you go over bumps and stuff? Or have a really uneven road surface? It sounds like it might be the same as my knocking. Let me know how you fare..!

It's because my missus works there, she can get me a discount. I just wondered about the part numbers. The person who she spoke with needed to know the size of the tyres to be able to tell me what shocks I needed. As Toyota don't do the Blisteins as an option anymore.
