Hello everyone
Been a very very long time since posting and I haven't forgotten you guys!
I had a right result last week my old car the vauxhall vectra was a lepper in car form so very pleased to see the back of it! (Cluth, Injector and Electrics Failure)
So I found a new car on facebook and to my delight the family gave it to us for FREE now normally when you see Free and Car together you expect a Rusty G Reg Datsun.
However I got a near perfect condition 1.8 4WD 53 Plate Toyota Avensis Diesel mechanically sound and Tidy Body work except for a dent in the wheel arch!
They also gave me some spare parts for the car from previous services they had left over (Brand New Fuel Filter Boxed up & Twin Clutch Kit) even better cruising on motorway gives 4.3l/100km (approx 67 mpg).
The only negative so far I can see from driving it about is the back needs shampooing on the seats etc as they used to own dogs also I am going to put the new fuel filter in as a little smokey when accelerating nothing major. Also the general idea is this car has just under 200,000 on the clock and has lost some oomph so I'd like to restore a bit of kick into the engine so looking for ideas on where to start.
