  1. The drum rotates freely but it is totally, I assume, rusted to the hub around the studs.  I have beat the crap out of it & sprayed lots of penetrating oil around the studs - yes I will be changing the shoes & cylinder.

    There is no sign of even the slightest give or movement.  Is there a way to remove the hub with the drum ?  I wish that there was a Haynes manual ? :)

  2. 1995 Xli old shape. Should it have a headlamp on warning ? The fuses list it but nothing happens so it's very easy to leave your lights on & drain the battery.



    I have tried fitting a buzzer & despite simple online instructions, I can find a combination of fuses that work. The buzzer is either on continuously or doesn't work at all. I am wondering if this is because there is already a buzzer there that isn't working ?


  3. I have just acquired a 1995 old model Starlet. I know the car because it was my neighbours & it has has run faultlessly for 11 years. All seems good with it but I notice a rumble that comes in at around 40mph. It's definitely from the drivetrain & doesn't seem to be getting any worse.



    I have checked the brakes & wheel bearings & all seems to be OK. Any ideas ?



    PS I would describe the sound as a low speed fan running.
