just use these, any Toyota dealer sells them

this exactly. Happened to me ages ago and the mad rush to get a 10mm spanner and undo the negative battery lead seemed to take an eternity

you could use a filler like liquid steel etc on that. they way the new bolt has exposed threads gives you something to mould the filler around. Just make sure its really clean and press the filler firmly onto the exposed bolt threads so it naturally makes the internal thread- with that new bolt...

is the 95 an update model?

for IGN power the wiper motor is a good one to tap off

I too was surprised as the old air filter looked great on the inside and outside was dark which i cleaned as best as i could. It wasnt till i got the new one that I realised how clean it should have been. Lesson learnt for me in that they dont last forever even with regular blowing out etc

hi Tom yes and it wasnt the FPR. Sheepishly I will say that a new Air Filter was in order. Once I replaced it the issue hasnt reappeared and the 80 has a lot more pep and better fuel economy The dash indicator never lit up indicating it was not flowing properly but it has made one hell of a...
