Seb Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 If it has a slight rattle on start up which goes when pressure is up then worry it is a bad sign, i.e big ends have gone, mine only had symptoms of slight oil leak and coolant leak and on further examination revealed entire carbonisation of engine, appears to be more common on aristo than supra:search: Well I haven't driven the sodding thing for so long because of the brakes that I can't remember how it sounds, but from inside the car there is no discernible rattle. Under the bonnet you can hear the injectors as per Supra but I haven't noticed anything else, but bit worried as engine failure would mean the end of the Aristo as I can't justify spending that much on an engine rebuild. I don't even have that much to spend on an engine rebuild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I second that. I actually considered buying that envy aristo myself. Another grand drop on the price and I'd have waived the hassle of going to Newcastle from sodding holland. Why didn't you call me then Thats really bad news Tom, hope you get sorted. Gaz.

dangerous brain Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Why didn't you call me then Thats really bad news Tom, hope you get sorted. Gaz. I would have done if the asking price was 9.5k lol but as its not and I'm not cheeky enough to try it on I left it. I have fingers in several pies so I'll wait and see how it all pans out If £9.5k delivered to rotterdam is a realistic offer let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aido Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hope you get this sorted pal, andit wasn't anything to serious. If you get stuck I know a couple of people on LOC who have done some extensive work on the Mk1 Aristo's - RobJonk and Norkep are good people to start with if you need anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
