I'll give you dollars to donuts that the oil leak is the rocker cover gasket.

Toyota UK Tel 01737 367600, that will get you straight through , quote them your Vin/Chassis number and i had to tell them the recall notice number (SR60635) and they pass your details on to Toyota Japan, they will let you know by recorded delivery if it needs to be done. Don't let Toyota UK fob you off, it is a safety recall and they have to sort it at there expence.

£56 for a cv boot and it was only distorted which probably means its not split at all.

Yeah, no splits only fitted boot 18 months ago to get thru MOT a bit too small, but it did the job, got a spare Roughtrax one in the garage, may fit it this weekend. But £72.00 for a coolant change is far too rich for me, another job for Saturday afters.

Where does the oil come to on your dipstick?

[stormforce]

mine is up to the full mark.
I am wondering if the muppets had checked the atf dipstick if its halfway up
