  1. Big respect for using the search function.

    When I had a sticky cable I took it off, stuck one end in a coke bottle of light oil, taped it up and hung the bottle upside down to let the oil run down into the cable.

    This can be bad cause oil holds dirt and scratches the plastic cable over the years BUT it passes mot.

    I seen on a post of morgeys if the handbrake lever on top of the caliper sticking cause its dirty/rusty. Give that a good clean first and compare it to the other side.

  2. Thats a right bit of oil but still not an uncommon amount. If your timing belt is dry just keep an eye on it and your oil level. The 93_97 corolla haynes manual shows you how to change it. If you are getting a mechanic or someone to change it tell them not to use a gear puller on your bottom pulley because although it looks solid its actually rubber lined. You can see a ripped one in my build thread and replacements are getting harder to find

    All in all I wouldnt worry too must about it

  3. If you buy a UK 4EFE engine and drop that in then yeah it will work fine, just use the manifolds etc from the JDM engine and bolt them to the UK engine.

    No it wont work if your glanza s has coilpacks. Youll need a bugeye corolla 4efe that has coilpacks.

    The reason is because the coilpack engines have a crank sensor in the oil pump housing. You could swap oil pumps or maybe even fit the cranksensor to the uk 4efe oilpump. Dont forget to use the glanza s bottom timing belt sprocket.

    If your glanza s has a normal e38 dizzy then ignore everything Ive just said :)

  4. Hmm cheers thought that may be the case, I just knew of one kicking around. Will look for the 4 2 1 corrolla mani if I can find one...I'm fine with making bits of the exhaust system but not quite at manifold level yet! Shame the standard ones are so crap, used to get great results port matching on my old minis.

    Theres loads of options such as re flanging a 4afe manifiold or any 4_1 off ebay
