  1. Hi Keron, do you have an exhaust temp sensor for a 93 N/A, I believe it's located in the first cat. Thanks, K
  2. How much for the cats? and if Calorus doesn't want them, the O2 sensors? Thanks K.
  3. Sorry, missed your other post Nic, the engine fault light came on which coincided with it going into limp-home mode. It was during that journey that the temp light came on. As I said above, the cats arfe OK as I had a full emissions test done yesterday so it's looking probable that the sensor was permanently damaged. This theory has been supported by a Supra specialist who has advised that the cats rarely fail. K.
  4. Failed (or failing) sensors cause the engine warning light to come on but the codes were reset by the battery dying over time - the alarm drains it eventually - The loss of power was probably due to over-fuelling, another symptom of O2 sensors going. The cats are fine as they were tested yesterday. I don't want to de-cat it as I can't be arsed with swapping bits of exhaust for the MoT. It's just too young to not need them :-/ To answer my earlier post, using the part-no that Ellis gave, I've been able to locate the sensors (all 3) on ToyoDIY so I can now start locating a supplier. K.
  5. Thanks Ellis Do you have the Cat Temp Sensor one too? That seems to be even harder to find than the O2 sensors :-/ K.
  6. I think I have failing Lambda sensors on my N/A. A while back the engine light came on and the car bogged right down. Fuel consumtion shot up alarmingly. Whilst "limping home" the cat temp light cam on. Due to other commitments the car has been parked up for a while and the alarm drained the battery so there are currently no codes logged (constant, steady blink when I tried pulling them) but the cat temp light is still on. I've had a full emissions test which it sailed through so I believe the cat is OK, so it's the sensor that's FUBARed. Can anyone let me know what the part number is for this sensor and, if possible, that for the Lambda sensor(s), I'd also like recommendations for suppliers please. I've tried the ToyotaDIY site but they don't seem to list them (or my searching skilss are weak, which is more likely) Thanks in advance K.

  8. Hi all, I've moved up to the East Mids (just north of Hinckley) and I just don't have the time to work on the Supe Can anyone recommend a workshop in the area. In the very near futurs I need the shocks changing and a starter refurb. She could also do with a bloody good service. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks K.
  9. Unfortunately, the set I was going to buy turned out to be shagged so I'm still in the market for a set of rear shocks. Preferably complete. Thanks K.
  10. Sean, yes it is just the rears, one of mine has had a major disagreement with its oil which has gone off in a huff, all over the wheel arch. When will you be home? Or could your mum sort out shipping in the meantime? Let me know how much please. Martin, ideally, as soon as possible but if I don't get sorted in the meantime, I'll be interested in yours when they're available. Thanks for replying, K.
  11. Did you get the rear end apart? Are the discs and shocks OK? Thanks K.
  12. Thanks Jody, I'll bear that in mind if anyone offers just struts. With that in mind, if anyone has a pair of struts that will work with the std front setup, I'd be interested in those too. Thanks K.
  13. I need a pair of rears for my '93 N/A. Would prefer complete units as I don't have the facilities or spring compressors to disassemble/re-assemble. Thanks K.
  14. Which disc is shagged? Have you time to take pics of them? Thanks K.
  15. Are the rear discs still available? If so, are they true? Rear shocks? TIA
  16. You seem to have missed me too, I'm now in Earl Shilton. 'L' reg silver Aerotop
  17. Mine was only 400g, according to the container it was colourful layers of mixed vegetables and lightly dressed pasta, topped with a Marie Rose sauce and prawns. The label does indeed state it constitutes 2 of my 5 a day K
  18. Good point, well presented But...... Isn't it on a Saturday night? Surely there's something, anything, better to do? Every cloud and all that K
  19. This thread puzzles me, we all have fantastic cars, who's got time to watch this cr4p? K.
  20. It has been a problem with Shell garages in particular, so much so that for a while last year (or the year before) they stopped accepting chip and pin cards for a while. The intercept was by using a modified card reader so it didn't matter that you never let your card out of your sight. I thought they'd got their act together but obviously not. K.
  21. The BNP, with the help of bullshit articles like this, are playing on people's fears. They are a single issue organisation and will change their spots to suit. Not so long ago they were anti-semitic, then anti-black, now anti-muslim! Who will be their target next year? If you can hold down your breakfast, take a look at their site and see how empty their policy book is. They have no suggestions on how to resolve the problems in this country except to try and deport a sizeable chunk of the population. A bunch of Micky Mouse wannabe politicions peddling hate.
  22. In order to plead self-defence, you need to use equal or lesser force than your assailant. In this situation having a baseball bat to hand is step one, having a kitchen knife to place in the hand of your incapacitated intruder is step two. I know how I would (and have) reacted in these circumstances but I'm not about to discuss it in public. K.
  23. The seller states it has both driver's and passenger's airbags but the steering wheel looks like a Momo and there's a glove box where the passenger one should be. If it looks like bulls**t and smells like bulls**t, it must be bullsh**t. I suspect the rest of the claims are the same. How the hell does he drive it with those tyres on? K.
