hi all

[jc001]

Hi all , I have a 92 Cressida Grande mx83 , owned for 10 yrs with 263k . Standard grandpa car ( I'm that old lol ) . She's still going, bought her with 163k on clock was originally a CMI car built in 92 first reg in 93 .

As with any 23 yr old car has a few niggles but don't really want to replace it with a more modern car ( what would you replace it with ? certainly not a falcodoremagnet .

Maybe a Lexus cause in my opinion it would have to be that good . ( Maybe allow mileage light blue metallic grande with the sunroof ).

Car still drives fairly smooth and regular maintenance ( oil & filter evry 5000 k ) has helped I'm sure .

Having issues with strange coolant loss ....... think it's leaking out of heater core ( Can smell coolant in car and strange gurgling behind dash ) .

Radiator replaced and not solved the issue , have leak from water pump ( Should have replaced it with radiator , doh ! )

Pretty sure dreaded head gasket ok ....... but you never know ........

Looking for new rear bumper retaining clip ( rh corner ) as broke original when tree jumped out at me .

Probably needs new shockers as originals still there .

Car owes me nothing and got over modifying cars in the 70 's with HG Panel Van ( Glory Days ) I"ve learnt if you wanna faster car go buy a faster car ....... cue howls of "OLF FART " from the hot up boys .

Though would like a TA 22 Celica with the twin cam or modded for club racing !

Had a 75 Celica for 14 yrs , great little cars .

Then an 81 Corona Liftback 5 spd , a nice ride that just needed more power ( 2 litre twin cam ? )

Then the Cressida as I wanted a luxury car with everything already there .

Any way will post couple of questions re the niggles and be good to converse with fellow Toyota fans .

Regardos JC
