Re: scraping noise

I took the waterpump alternator belt off and the noise went away. The water pump has some play in the wheel and the alternator does make a little noise when I spin by hand. Hate to think I need to replace both.

scraping noise

When at idle the car has a scraping type noise coming from the engine area. Is there a fan or something I should look at to oil up or grease. The car is not moving when this noise so its definately engine or electric motor noise of some kind. thanks for the help in advance :?:

Re: The ultimate adventure Wagon FORSALE

Barto
I would love to have the various parts as mine is still stock. I don't want the headache of title swap here in the states without proper papers. I am close but its a ferry boat ride across to Port Angeles. So put me on the list for your IF list.... need tires/wheel, bumpers, lift, rack.

Re: wtb intermediate steering link

used some wd40 on it and did figure eights... seems to be fixed for the moment. Wish I had realized how easy it was to access that piece in the first place. Thanks for the support and persuading me to the right answers.

Roll on tercel!!

hatchback strut replacement

I need some assistance... how do I remove the struts from my hatchback rear door. I don't see a simple ring clip and prying with screwdriver is leaving dents and scratches with no results.
