Still no joy, but now the engine management light stays on and the trc off light still flashes.

Cheers for the replys, I will give it a go tomorrow. Fingers crossed

Ok a little update I went out again today to get the car warm again to see if it was just a low coolent problem and it happened again, so I'm thinking maby a block on the rad hoses somewhere are the water pump has gone because the rad itself is only a year old. Any thoughts?

Ok so I have filled up the car with premixed antifreeze all the way to the top, but I have also opened the rad cap and it looks empty? Should I also fill this up with the same antifreeze or just leave it? Cheers for any replys

Yeh that's where I put my premixed antifreeze in. Where do I put water? Cheers for your reply

I no this is probably a silly question but where do you put water for the rad and where do you put antifreeze? I ask because I keep getting different answers and I want to make sure I'm doing it right. Lol Thanks

Hi everyone, I just went out for a little drive to the shops and on the way home I noticed that the trc off light was flashing on and off, I then noticed that the temp gauge dropped down to nothing. As I pulled up home 2 mins later I popped the bonnet and it was steaming a little and was also making a bubbling sound. I no all of this doesn't sound good and I'm imagining the worst. :( Could anyone help me in any way? Cheers Lewis

Hi everyone, now I have a few jobs on the car that I can't realy do, so I need some help working out how much ruffly it would cost to get the work done in a repituble garage. Job 1) I have 2 reconditioned front calipers to replace the old f#***#g sticking ones, so how much should I be looking to pay to get them fitted and bled? Job 2) I have a replacement center exhaust to replace the old one, now I have tryed to do this myself but the bolts holding it on the the cat part of the exhaust are compleatly corroded and so I can't get them off so would need a garage to remove old bolts and fit new center pipe with new bolts. So also how much would this work cost? Job 3) also I have 3 new belts to go on which I also can't do which are the alternator belt and the a/c belt and the power steering belt. How much would this work cost? Thanks for any help you guys can give. Lewis.

How do I go about getting a ticket to go? Cheers

Any pics yet? Well here's a few I had. http://db.tt/RzLuSimV http://db.tt/y7jUYXWv

So it's worth spending that bit extra on the Toyota red stuff then? Otherwise I'm going to halfords in the morning. Btw I don't mind spending a bit extra, I just want wats best for my baby as I intend on keeping her lol.

Wicked, cheers for the replys. I'll go to halfords now and get some :)

Hi everyone, just checked mine as I also couldn't find my gauge until this post and was horrified to find nothing in there... Absolutely bone dry. So I'm just about to order some, sould I get Toyota red as petayV8 did? Or is there anything better? Also sould I get 5l or will 1l do? Thanks for any replys. Lewis
