wow honda fitting isuzu engines, they must be good then. I am stripping out the gearbox as and when I have time, it wont be til the fly wheel comes off will I know whether I need just a ring gear or complete clutch/ flywheel assy, seems now that replacing whole assemblies costing hundreds euros is the norm. well a new flywheel assy just isnt going to happen, simply I dont have the money. This 2002 combo is the newist vehicle I have owned and the cost of parts just isnt realistic. I reconed the alternator a few months back as a part exchange non oem unit was over 180 euro.
To think I was planning to get rid of my old corolla . I bought my 1987 corolla when it was 18 years old and did over 250,000 km , I retired it when the clock reached 350,000 km, bought my 92 corolla 3 years ago, it needed much TLC and thanks to 1987 one there was a free supply of parts. These 2 Toyotas are the best cars I have ever owned and outshine all my other cars on reliability, cost to maintain and easy of repair. OK, zero street cred but that is not important as a car to me is a tool and not jewellery.
