Hi Thomas...welcome to the Forum
These things happen, I went to a local bike shop to buy a restored Lambretta scooter and came away with a Harley Davidson ๐
Good to have you onboard and enjoy your Toyota's
Hi....welcome to the Forum
Sorry to hear about your mishap.
I believe Toyota (Japan) have restarted production of panels for older models....I'm sure I read an article on it last year but you may need to google it to confirm this is the case.
Good luck with it and hope you get it back to how it should be
Hi Nathan....welcome to the Forum
Hope you manage the 1Million miles and there is no reason to imagine that you couldn't ๐
Aftermarket parts are generally acceptable alternative to genuine OE parts but just don't go for the cheapest and stick to reputable brands and you can't go wrong.
Good to have you onboard
Hi TJ...welcome to the Forum
Sorry for the late reply, you certainly have a very clean looking Toyota there
Good to have you onboard and hope you have many trouble-free motoring miles ahead of you
Unless the vehicle isn't being used for a considerable amount of time then the battery should remain in a charged state.
If there is a current drain on the battery then I would be tempted to remove the negative terminal and see if the battery naturally discharges over time or whether there is something pulling it down and then you're into another completely different issue
Let us know what you find out
Hi Joe....welcome to the Forum
I fondly remember the Cressida and it was a great car back in the day.
Glad to hear that one is still on the road and would love to see some pictures of it.
Good to have you onboard
Cheers, Trevor
I would probably upgrade as the value is in the secondhand market to resell but not viable to continue ownership taking into account annual depreciation
It depends on vehicle use, e.g. town driving versus freeway driving, the town driving is considered to be more degrading to the engine oil and would need changing sooner than say if you just drove around town
Sounds very much like a software update is needed regarding the fast idle issue....hassle your supplying dealer to get this resolved (at no cost!)
Let us know what they find
Hi Bob K....welcome to the Forums
I always believe that a well maintained car will go on indefinitely as long as you replace any components with quality parts and also keep on top of any issues that may arise.
Otherwise, it should do you proud for many years and thousands on mlles to come
Good to have you onboard
I think it would be worth probing the live wire back as far as when it has power and look for a connection block in the area...corrosion in the block is more than likely the cause
