Guest Martin F Posted November 8, 2001 Share Posted November 8, 2001 You shouldn't need to change the coolant as our Supe's are supposed to use a coolant\anti-freeze mixture all year round. Only thing is you don't necessarily know what the person before you has topped up with. Maybe worth getting your mixture checked at a local friendly Toyota dealer. But don't let your eyes off the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted November 8, 2001 Share Posted November 8, 2001 ROFL! Make sure your breakdown cover is top notch and make sure they know the car is low and cannot just be towed. It would probably be easier to use a breakdown truck which cranes it onto it back. But as long as you've been good to the car for the other 9months (or since ownership began) then you can but hope that she'll repay the favour by staying fit and heallthy.

Simon Posted November 8, 2001 Share Posted November 8, 2001 I always carry full set of waterproofs and a warm jacket. Just in case .(mobile phone batteries always die when you really need them, and it will be raining and cold) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
