  1. Hi Have you tried eBay? I have been getting my paints that way for a while now.
  2. Thanks, it is a 1996. Where is it located in the car??
  3. At first I thought it was my PC or the operating system but I got others to try to register with the same problem. I can't even contact the site to get help to register. @ Newbie Jennifer. Is there nothing else you can do such as get a motoring organisation to step in. We have the AA here in England that I am in who would be very helpful. I seriously doubt your insurance will be able to help but you never know. Have you contacted only the local Toyota agent??
  4. I'm shocked; that is gorgeous. I thought you were going to be telling me how it was cost cow cos of its shortcomings but boy did you surprise me.
  5. Did you find it expensive? Or was there something in particular that was costly?
  6. Yes, I can imagine. ^_^
  7. But going by the very cheap prices these are going for (and it's not just year model and high km's which make them cheap), most seem to be beach-goer's and daily runabouts which people eventually tire of and want to upgrade for something newer. I've been used to Vitaras of the same sort of age but switched to a Jimny as I loved my SJ413 so much from previous years and that was not as enjoyable as I had hoped so I decided to try the Rav which had always been one of my alternatives. I never took the plunge before as I like a 'proper' old fashioned 4WD system and a separate chassis set up. However, right away I knew that once I had made a few changes to this old Rav (door mirrors which IMHO are awful and seating position) I would like it and guess what, I really do. Also I was totally shocked by the performance it gives while still returning 31-32mpg. With what it offers this is a keeper for me; I don't envisage being one of those who will tire of it. It'll never be as good for me as my '92 Pajero that I will never part with but it is a cracking little motor that hopefully will serve me well for another ten years.
  8. I wonder what the lifespan was expected to be?
  9. Yes I meant those but also I meant the 3 door.
  10. I am just about OK with 4mph over. I find myself doing a quick subtraction all the time. It is too distracting. Like today I went past a speed sentry and it told me I was doing 28mph when my clock was showing about 34. I need to see that I am doing 30 when I am actually doing 30 so I can drop below it in 30mph limits. My Pajero is bang on, why can't Toyotas be too??
  11. I have used this for that problem on other cars with fantastic results. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251302578959?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I have tried to register with Rav4World but can't get on.
  12. Is the Rav 4.1 noted for any rain leaks? I have a regular ingress when the rain is heavy; it drips at the fan for the aircon.
  13. Is there a socket on early Ravs for an OBD2 code reader?
