If this happens only when cold, it's the stem seals. If when hot, it's the rings. I say, let it warm up, open the bonnet, pull the oil indicator out and rev the engine. If smoke pops out of the dipstick tube, it's definitively the rings. To be sure you could measure the compression.

You mean that the fuel gauge always tell you the actual level? Even with the ignition off? All my Toyotas, go down when off rise to the correct level when ignition on. I'm from Greece, but even my ep70 that is converted to turbo-s is going down when off. On the other hand, it's normal that the level moves when turning. Every car do that, some are just more sensitive than others. -
Check compression on all cylinders. If it was only the exhaust, i could say that there is alot of oil still in the exhaust, propably soaked the flexi pipe.

Disks are the same (GT/Glanza/Paseo) Calipers are the same. Lines are the same.

Go to your local Toyota dealer and ask for crash bolts. They offer 4 sizes and you will need a total of 4 bolts. I think that they should cost something like 2-3 pounds each. You can go till 2+ deg with those

what engine oil do you guys use/recomend
mech5107 replied to nazzurro19's topic in MOT & Maintenance
Everyone i ask for engine oil suggest Amsoil Dominator. Either stock or fully forged engined. But they are very expensive. Also redline water wetter for coolant. Some speak for 15+ deg lower water temp. -
