Jasonp-glanza-s Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Hey guys,Just bought myself a clean rust free glanza s import with only 77k miles on it 😊There is a few problems however but not too bothered as i have always wanted a glanza,Got a few plans for it nothing too much just little bits,The problems with the car areCig lighter don't workWasher jers don't workThe car is overfuelling (been told its the temp sensor due to the clocks are saying it always cold) If any one could give me any advice on those problems that would be great ☺️My previous car was a black yaris t sport made to look like a vitz rs import, was a really nice car and i did quite alot to it but i thought i would chase my dream of owning a glanza ☺️Now the yaris was quite abit faster than the little glanza but i soon hope to put a 4efte in time to come but im in no rush as there is a few other bits i want to do first like front brakes, glanza v rear axle, late spec rear lights, optional extra front lip, clear front indicators & rear strut brace.The car already has a few modsCat back exhaust Induction kitGlanza v bonnetOptional rear lipLowered 40mm Trd gear knobHeres the glanza in all its glory and a few pic of the yaris 😀Heres my old yari Edited August 12, 2015 by Jasonp-glanza-s Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mart1 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Are you going to fix the problems or are you thinking best to sell on? Get a turbo mate:-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jasonp-glanza-s Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Tbh pal i cant afford to get a glanza v just yet thats why i went ahead and bought this glanza s, not quite what i was hoping it was going to be but its actually not that bad, the plan is to try and fix the over fuelling problem before i decide what to do with it, i would love to save the car as it is really clean Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Washer jets worked perfect when i had it, not sure about cigarette lighter as i never ever went to use it....i never had any problems with it at all and was never ever on a recovery truck when i owned it! I used it daily and never had any bother all! Only thing went wrong was radiator and i replaced it with a brand new one! Also trd gearkob is genuine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
