  1. I've never worked on a celica before but generally globes either screw out anti clockwise or have that little pin holder thing holding them in Depending on how much room you have, you may either have to work from the top, undo the guard and try and reach from there or take the headlight off
  2. Give toyota a call and try and get them to look up the code Realistically they should just be able to use the computer to search and it'll come up with a list of procedures/steps to try Not too sure if the old models are on the database though
  3. Press "track/tune ^" and "1" Then try entering last 3 digits of VIN, then hold down the "scan" button
  4. That sounds ok as long as the handbrake holds around 4-7 clicks uphill or downhill with the car in neutral
  5. ^ They've got rear disc brakes but the centre hub of the rotor acts as drum and houses the handbrake shoes inside it Realistically the handbrake shoes shouldn't be worn unless you've got high Ks or you drag the handbrake/do a fair amount of handbrakeys
  6. Since you're in school i'm gonna assume you're probably on your Ps Heres my 2c, learn to park without parking sensors or any other aid The amount of people on the road who still scratch cars with parking sensors and reverse cameras is absolutely ridiculous already, so learn right the first time and you won't need parking sensors every again The only cars which really need them are utes or vans since their rear visibility isn't great Also I'd recommend waiting a week or two more to save up an extra 100-200 bucks, then find a local mechanic and get him to check out the car if you're very keen on it As you're budget is limited already last thing you want to buy is a car which won't last more than a month, so spend a little more to have the piece of mind that you're buying something fairly decent
  7. Get them to adjust it properly Tell them to take the rotors off and give it a good clean + sand the shoes down if needed and free up the little gear Also how many clicks can you push it down to with your foot? And I don't mean standing on it and using all your force, just push it down like you would normally and count how many clicks It should be around 6-10 and the handbrake should hold with that amount of clicks, ie you shouldn't need to push it further down to hold EDIT: If its too tight already, tightening the cable will only make it worse Most likely the shoes are not adjusted right
  8. Ask the local dealers, you may get lucky Also make sure you get them to give you a quote for diagnosing the rattles, coz sometimes it can take hours to diagnose a rattle and you don't wanna end up having to pay 8 hours labour for it Or diy Get a mate to jump in the car next to you, and as you drive and hear the rattle, get him to put pressure on the different parts the rattle is coming from and if it stops it you've found the cause Then you figure out how to stop it using insulation
  9. 3 clicks? Are you sure they didn't tighten the crap outta the cable? Ideally it should be somewhere between 6-10 clicks Simple way to adjust them is to first loosen the cable, then adjust the shoes and then tighten the cable to take up the slack You may be better off taking your rear rotors off and cleaning + giving the shoes a slight sand though before you adjust them
  10. Call up and ask local dealers Hopefully there will be someone willing to do it If the car wasn't bought too long ago, then try and get it done under used car warranty if you bought it off a dealer
  11. If i remember right then 3 screws all up and 1 clip before the door trim can be popped off + the cover that goes on the inside of the mirror above the door trim 2 screws are behind the silver door handle?, 1 behind the actual door handle/lever and 1 clip on the top right hand corner Then pull the trim off from the bottom first, and then slide up
  12. Its fairly simple once you've fitted them once Maybe google for instructions Or post a picture of all parts and i may be able to help
  13. ^ what he said, pretty common problem aurions can be regreased, klugers cant and need the intermediate shaft replace
  14. A yaris only takes 3.6 or 3.7l of oil Heck even a 2.4l rav only takes 4.2ls of oil
  15. Yes it is dangerous, because realistically you have no control over the car Coasting to a set of lights and anything straight line is ok, but coasting through a turn is just plain stupid
