Mot time has come round again 😳 ..do I need to keep my fingers crossed ? Think between it being a Toyota and the care it’s had in the last 12 months…I’m confident 😎

Yes it makes you feel good that a 15 year old vehicle with 107k on the clock has passed with no advises 😎. Next job is to carry out a small service . Been using Shell helix 5/w30 for the last few years, good price and great oil 👍🏻👍🏻  |

Been meaning to clean the Mass Air Flow Sensor for sometime now, remember BigKev saying it will make a different to idle speed. So off with the air filter case and unscrewed the MAF. Used an alcohol cleaner that evaporates and blow it dry with an airline . Reassembled and took it out for a road test ….well the idle speed went up around 100rpm, was hovering around 600/ 650rpm and now it’s up to 750rpm. It also increases with the air/con on …so a result 😎😎   |

Another job I’ve had on my list was to take cam cover off and clean/paint it, plus change the rubber gasket …so that now ticked off 👍🏻  I was rather pleased to see the camshafts and timing chain in such good condition for 100k plus..  Went for steel wheel silver then a few coats of lacquer…  |

Nice work , Bob. I realise that silver is stock but you could really make it stand out with red. It would match the suspension bracing strut nicely.👍
