oil filter housing

Forum: 

Decided to change the engine oil and filter on my 2004 charade. All going well until i tried to remove the screw on filter. No joy with strap wrench so decided to use the screwdriver through filter method but first a few taps with a long handle chisel to give it some encouragement-what could possibly go wrong? Only snapped the bloody filter housing in two!!!!! Are these things made from recycled bbq trays!!! Anyway i,ve calmed down a bit now and my question is . Does anyone have or know where i can obtain a new/used filter housing. Duncan

YRV bonnet catch

Forum: 

I'm getting brave posting my own topic now! Honest, I've searched and everything first so very sorry if this has been covered.

My bonnet catch mechanism is dead. Struggling to find a replacement on ebay. Is it fair to assume its a Yaris part?

Charade TD head gasket issues

Forum: 

Just blown another head gasket on my TD. Anybody ever found a solution to this reoccurring issue? Bigger Rad maybe help? I think it might as the JDM version has a larger rad (presumably for the hotter weather over there) but I am yet to find a JDM TD that has blown a gasket.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

How to Remove Sirion Alternator

Forum: 

My new Sirion Rally 4 shredded its alternator belt after 2 stages of its first event

Looks like the alternator bearings have gone as the belt was new and tensioned and the alternator is stiff to turn, charging light came on first then lost power steering a bit later.

How does it come out? Does not look to be a lot of room either way!
