Hamburgers - YES!----- :D
French fries - NEVER!---- :shock:
Bacon sammywiches - YES! :D
Onion sammywiches - YES!-- :D

Note that the last item is a Tom-delicacy and not common in STL (nor beloved by my daughters or gkids).

Hey! The guy is operating in a foreign (to us) language...so you guys are going off the deep end?

The people in the middle of the US are just plain weird? Nobodies found an explanation for it. But we tolerate them.... :mrgreen:

If you MANUALLY move that heater valve...you might get the coolant to flow through the heater core.

That oil leak is major...will need to pull the air cleaner off to get a good look at where it's coming from.

It seems like my uncle got an toyota heater from a hiace(i think). So im gooing to try that one, and hope it works. It is so cold outside right now, and I also got a lack of time so i havent had any opportunety to look on the oil leak, but thats okey, i like refilling oil a few times per month. At least the car got new oil all the time :D

I guess the car will be back on the road again next week, can`t wait since im taking the freaking bus right now..

I am pleased to announce that my Tercel is back on the road again. I have bought a new heater from an old Corolla, and a brand new muffler that I got on after a few hours of work.

I also found a quick and easy way to transport my skis as shown in the picture :P

Does anyone know if it's meant to be light on the heater switches?

interesting, they all have the extra turn indicator light located just above and behind the front wheel well, just like that terc in vancouver, bc that one of our new members bought. i guess it was a european option.

Mine seem to be haunted.. i know there are lights in there, but since the blower only works on high - i don't worry too much about it in my tercel. and if i pop my dash with the palm of my hand, they come on...

but all that aside, your cars are awesome! so many edm goodies to scope!

i never noticed that question. yes there is a tiny light bulb back there, right behind the heater control panel. i can't remember but i think you have to remove some of the dash trim before you can get that panel off, and the light is not super common. i had to go to a few stores to find one small enough.

as for blower only working on high, CF, that's an easy fix: http://www.tercel4wd.com/forums/viewtop ... f=7&t=3651
