Well thought it was a bit to easy 

Even tho it test drove fine the day the work was carried out it misfired on start up in the morning.

Found that offending coil pack clip. Cut it right back and Installed the new one and she’s happy again.

Swapped over the nasty rounded out parking lock today.

Be nice to park up and click that in rather than a bolt or two

Decided to give the uno advanced a go after it’s been getting rave reviews online. 
 

I’d highly doubt it will protect for 12 months as the claim but time will tell. 

Phil nipped over and swapped my oem for his stubby aerial.

Spring is coming so reattached the battery and had a guy come over to take care of some stone stone chips. 

Have a few summer jobs to do including swapping the centre aero lock as it’s rounded out. I have a stubby aerial coming and need to fit the levoc gearstick.

Might fit a new intercooler to as mine has started to look a bit crusty.

@Nozhas been chasing my leaky headlights for a while. 

They have been a pita to the point I was about to give up and get new ones. Noz offered to seal them again for postage costs.

I brought all new bulbs in case it was a failed seal.

After the floods down here I’m happy to report zero water and or mist in the lights

So had an interesting one. My second turbo stopped working unless under heavy acceleration, when it did come in it would almost clunk and make back pressure exhaust pops.

Needless to say two loads of this and it was off road until I found the issue as I didn’t want to stress tubby 1.

My first thoughts where vsv or hose but nothing was off.

I searched here and found the following

“Just to add to this incase it helps anybody else. When I bought my supra a couple of years ago off an old boy who didn’t really push it the second turbo wasn’t coming online. I replace as many vacuum pipes as I could at the time and still had the same issue and I think as mentioned above I gave the EBCV valve some lube and manual movement and it boosted perfectly from then on”

So I attempted to find and move the offending part. Needless to say it didn’t want to move.

Consulted @Mike2JZand @mwilkinson got the small flat pry bar and spayed it down. It was very crusty but soon was moving free to the point I could move it by hand.

Took her out and it was working perfectly.

Will leave this here incase anyone else has the same issue.
