sorry mario the RAC took the old battery away, he compared mine to the new one he gave me and was like confused, cos he thinks the RAC database is wrong, i told him toyota put the wrong battery to start with, apparently, the battery in my sportivo is different from 'normal' corollas, the 2005 corollas got different batteries too, he said mine was about 3 years old, my sportivo was the first ones to arrive in australia, build date early 03, registered 10/03 i got no sound system in my car, only stock! yeh im gonna give it a wipe inside to get rid of the acid, i thought it was the radiator but the steam was coming out of the friggin battery, scary as hell, lucky no one got hurt, and lucky it was a piece of s*it car that i hit/hit me and not some luxury car if my fender is dented, whats protected by the fender that could be damaged? also off topic, the new rotors that toyota gave me are making that crunching noise when i come to a stop again, but my steering wheel does not shudder so i dont know whats wrong, the pads still got some meat left in them, but the crunching noise is quite scary and only happens when my brakes are warmed up, i dont think its abs because i dont brake hard? please toyota give me a new sportivo!!
