2001 YRV - getting a new key 'coded'

Forum: 

I have just bought my YRV as my first car (thanks to my Dads help!), however it only came with 1 key (black handle end), as I'm a bit careless with keys I want a spare ASAP, I can get one and get it cut quite cheap, but what's the most cost effective way of getting it matched to the cars security system please? Is there a 'DIY' matching process (which we have for my Mums Mazda) or do I have to either get the 'chip' matched or pay a delear with one (or more) of my limbs?

2000 Sirion (Toyota Duet) engine issues

Forum: 

Hi All. Apologies in advance for the wall of text!

I have been looking through old posts to see if anything matches the issues I am having (with my girlfriends car) but nothing definitive so wondering if any of the experts here can shed some light??
The engine is: M100A GPGE EJ-VE, it has the 4 speed automatic transmission.

Timing chain

Forum: 

My dad came to visit and he took the job on to replace the timing chain. He did it without taking out the motor! Engine is very quiet now. Just can't believe how much that chain stretched compared to the new one!

I do however still have a noise that sound like it comes from the pulleys. Not sure which one it is. Any ideas? Can most of the pulley's bearings get changed or not?

heater hose diameter?

Forum: 

I'm fitting an LPG kit to my YRV 4Trak, and need to connect into the cooling system (in parallel), I'm aiming to tap into the heater pipes with T pieces, but can anyone tell me the internal diameter of these pipes. To be honest I'd just measure mine but its currently buried in a 5ft snow drift.

Need steering rack or track rods :-(

Forum: 

Well it failed its MOT, BAH!!! 99T L701 Cuore btw. Rear brakes, number plate, and as described by the MOT man, nearside and offside steering arms. I eventually diciphered this as the track rods. They seem to be none existent on the parts lists of most online car parts dealers and my local guy is struggling to locate any, though he's waiting to hear back from a new supplier who apparently specialises in Daihatsu parts, will see.

Calliper Slide Pins

Forum: 

Having just spent an hour trying to get the larger bottom pin out of my Sirion Caliper. I found it was bent! Does anyone know where to get hold of new Caliper pins? Looks like the last time anyone changed them they had not heard of copper grease! Does the firm tht refurbs the calipers sell the pins separately?
