Yes I know how to do it. And I am trying to sell stuff I got my mates dad to sell some wheels for me (Not the Starlet ones !) and I'm planning on selling the rear wiper motor and also the exhaust manifold cover thing. If anyone wants to bid to help a Starlet fund http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TWO-PEUGEOT-206-306-14-INCH-STEEL-WHEELS-WITH-TYRE-175-65-R14-/321712529710?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4ae78fa12e Click there ! Thanks for all the replies I don't think I will cut them now.

I don't know if this is in the right place but does anyone know how much roughly you can sell the rear wiper for and do you sell just the motor or the arms rubber bit too ? Thanks

I'm just tempted to do it until I get a job and then buy some.

Has anybody cut their springs on a Starlet ?

When my battery was dead it made a clicking noise but when it was totally flat it didn't do anything

AND... Does anyone know where the rear speaker cables are in a 98 Solida ?

I have been thinking about a mint/white engine bay but cannot find anywhere that sells Mint VHT paint and does anyone have any suggestions about what other colours they like

Took rear wiper off today and now needing a grommet but the old wiper rubber will do for the min !

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any leftover bluish silver paint or any colour VHT paint that they could send as I need to both touch up little bits and also freshen up the engine bay. Thanks, Alex

Right, went to the closest scrappy with my mate and £10 and came back with a battery and now it starts !!!!! Let's start the mods !!!!

Buxton, Derbyshire

Thanks for that info, it's so annoying though ! And I've been told that it has to be a specific battery for the Starlet will ones off Micra's, Saxo's etc work ?

I would pay postage but I have no idea How I would send it

She says she'll get me one when I can drive but someone I know has offered to do a full service changing all fluids and driving lessons on private land. Plus no scrappys near

Hi, I'm in desperate need of a car battery as mine died before Christmas and because' i'm 16 it's quite hard to get hold of one and was just wondering if anyone has an old one lying round with enough charge to keep me going this year around a feild. Thanks p.s I do hate asking this but it's just annoying now !

Oh right thanks for that i'll have tokeep an eye out on Gumtree and Ebay.

Thanks for replying everyone Right 1. Can you use a battery off another car for a Starlet or does it have to be specific battery and 2. No the car doesn't have a seatbelt warning light.

Can anybody tell me what this does I found it under the passenger seat ?

So while reading articles about Toyota Starlets I stumbled upon this http://www.topgear.com/uk/jeremy-clarkson/clarkson-greatest-ever-drive-2004-07-01 And I found this on it. And to prove my theory about the importance of blue skies and empty roads, one of the best times I ever had was blasting through a deserted Portuguese forest in a Toyota Starlet. - Jeremy Clarkson

Thanks for the kind words. One of the pains of country life is that there's no local breakers near, however there is a scrap yard with the odd car part in it that I can get for free lol ( So far got Thule roof rack, Golf splitter and three steelies that are slightly bigger than stock). Still have no idea if it'll start as I'm now getting the battery on Wednesday Grrr. Anyway Thanks all p.s i'll try and get a vid when I get the battery because it's really loud as there is a hole in the exhaust mani( another thing for the needed list)!

Well my birthday is in January so a year from now, but my friend has a field so I might be able to learn in that.How hard can it be ? Anyway I'm getting a battery tomorrow so I can see if it starts or not, fingers crossed !!

What I want to do is try to replicate the fitting brackets for the rack but I have no idea what they look like !

Hi, over the holiday I didn't really manage to get anything done, but I did find a Thule roof rack in a skip and I was wondering if anyone could send me some pics of the fitting clips.

Right, since i'm in a school holiday I can do things to the car and what I need to know is 1.How do you relocate the dipped lights to the side lights 2.How do you remove the front bumper and what are the spanner sizes 3.What else can I do for free. Pics will be up soon !
