And it looks like the winner is going to be.......the Toyota.
I worked last night, got up early this morning to have a bash at spraying contact cleaner on the connection, but when I realised how much stuff has to be removed, I had to abandon the job. I've been offered a replacement abs unit on here, but it's a little bit expensive for me. I could get myself a cheaper one, but not an exact match for the car, and no-one round here with tech 2 to put it right, so basically, I'm stuffed.
I'm not sure about the exhaust blow now either. Is it the manifold to downpipe o ring or the manifold to head gasket, I can't be sure. Can I warrant spending money next Monday, only to have the same problem afterwards?
The tax runs out at the end of the month and that's the deciding factor. I'm not going to re-tax it without solving these problems first, so the future of the cdx is decidedly shaky. The mot runs out on June 20th, and obviously won't go through as it is.
So, it looks like the Previa bus is going to get another airing, which is not a bad thing really, it's the most reliable and versatile car I've ever owned.
I'm absolutely gutted really, because I really like the cdx, it looks lovely polished up, and is basically a good car.
I can't even offer it up for sale on here because of my post count, so it'll probably be parked in my front garden and I'll do the work as and when.
Ho-hum.
