A friend of mine told me he will be able to help me with this but he is currently busy and dont know when he will be able to help. So I have to wait until he is free to help.0 -
Sounds like a nice secondhand car.The faults are only minor & to be honest if I brought the car with just those faults, I would be very happy........desperadoV2 wrote:Its a Toyota Yaris.
I bought it for £2600/-
Car Insurance paid so far - £120
Breakdown cover - £110
Car Park - £50/- (car was parked in public car park for 5 days before driving it back to my home)
Road Tax - £60/-
Toyota Service - £200/-
Travel+food+taxi - £250/- (total travelling expenses for buying this car. travelled 80 miles to get this junk. because i wanted toyota yaris and nothing was within my budget range).
So spent a grand total of £3500/- so far on this car and it is still not perfect.
It needs the following changes required.
1. two new front tyres
2. washers not working. so needs changing
3. exhaust manifold badly bent
4. break fluid dirty. needs changing
5. headlights out of line. (service center are saying, how the car got MOT with this fault).
All in all, I'm screwed up big time. Just because I wanted a Toyota Yaris and within my budget of £3000/-0 -
Also when you say washers not working, it could just be that the washer fluid tank/pump is gunked up. If you can hear the pump motor whining but no water comes, that may be the cause. A 30-60 minute job of removing the plastic pump housing, cleaning out & replacing same.0
