One thing that bugged me since I got the Carib was that the ignition barrel had been damaged, both making it hard to accurately insert the key, and making it look somewhat dodgy.
Tastes Like Petrol
One difference the Pre-Facelift Carib has is that the taillights are big solid colour blocky things. I didn’t really like them, so off they came.
One part I neglected to address in my previous post about the driveshaft was the sliding yoke. It was seized, and no amount of pretending it wasn’t was freeing it up.
It feels like it’s been a huge uphill battle getting a working tacho in this car, but I think I have finally mastered it.
With WOF day looming, I had a few more things to get ready, starting with a wheel alignment.
I swear Deferred Maintenance should be the title of all my posts, because sure enough, here we are again.
The final task on the original Rolla was to stick the Carib suspension into it, and basically revert it back to the car as I bought it, but slightly better.
Today was a big day, spent turning two average cars into one good one.
Well, it was a good run with the Liftback Corolla, but unfortunately it’s become unfeasible to keep it going.
