Does anyone know a good repairer for a buckled alloy wheel in the London area or anywhere that can collect and deliver? I damaged my rare Tom's Racing alloys during the snow period by sliding off a round about and into a kerb. I didn't even hit it that hard but it caused huge damage!

Oh dear....I have just called up Elephant and spoke to one of their agents and they say they don't insure the Glanza V. For those who have taken out polices under car model Starlet GT Turbo for their V has an insurance certificate that will not qualify and must contact Elephant right away...

So this means no Glanza owners can ever get insured with Elephant!?!

Ok, brakes been squealing for weeks now and it's pissed me off! so I too decided to buy some cheap pads from Camskill. Fitted them on Sat and it has made all the difference. Absolutely no squealing! Here's a lesson, DO NOT BUY BRAKE PADS FROM JAPARTS UK!! They give you crap pads thats are...

Ok..battery was delivered today and just fitted it. It fits perfectly, so this is the correct battery to get for your Glanza and GT. :)

But they also took on big projects but never finished them, customers kept paying & paying hard earned cash. The other partners are surely to blame for that.

Really supprised to hear this about Toby to be fair as I have always ordered from him and always got my parts. I guess business wasn't so good. It seems like the thing to do if your business is going under is you get as much money as you can before sh*t hits the fan and then you make a...

Hello all, After some searching, I think I have found the battery I am looking for: http://www.battery2u.co.uk/Car-Batteries/Varta-Car-Batteries/Varta-Car-Batteries-A15 Phoned them up and they say it has the small Japanese terminals. My current battery measures roughly at L=185 -...

Been using Toyo Proxes T1-R's now for many years and I think they are absolutely fab. It is a soft compound and does wear it more quicker then some other tyres but you get a lot of grip in the dry. It's still pretty good in the wet too but any tyre is going to be sh*t in the wet if you don't...

I am also looking for a new battery for my 97 Glanza, the battery you suggested is roughly the same size as my current old battery but unfortunately the terminals are the other way around! :(

Cheers info mate, I'll give this a try over the weekend and let you know if it improves it. :)

No, I didnt rough up the surface of the discs and pads. To be honest, I did brake pretty hard when first installed as I wanted to check if my brakes actually still work after my amature installation. Yeah they were cheap oads at £15, but I was expecting to get geniune Toyota OEM pads but...

It only squeals when I actually press brakes. When I release them, the squeal goes away. I just bought replica OEM pads from a company called Japarts and fitted them straight on. The pads had shims already on them, I put copper grease on top of that before fitting. I did notice on my old...

Thanks Dave, I should of bought them off you and included them into my last order from you. :(

Hello all, Just did my front pads at the weekend and after driving it while I noticed a slight but annoying squealing noise. I checked the disc on the front passenger side and noticed a slight scoring on the disc starting to occur? Could a missing brake pad clip cause the brakes to not sit...
