Godamn it, I just got a call from the smash repairer.
He thinks the valve spring on cylinder no.7 in my 220 went bye byes yesterday when he moved the car. How much for a set of springs? Maybe I should fit with double springs? Can I do it myself? This car is really p**ssing me off

I would think that the Toyota Dealers warranty would have to cover the mechanical work.

That is really sad that you are having so much bad luck with such a fine looking car!!! A freind of a freind reversed a work ute up the side of my AUIII XR6!! the damage starts from the drivers side rear door and ends at the tail lights!! Only $2000 worth of damage but i still feel like crying evertime i see it!!

I am making him pay for it so it is still going to be at least another month till it is fixed! It wouldn't be so bad if it was on the passenger side, but it is on the drivers side so i have to see it EVERY SINGLE DAY!! All the damage to my car has been done by other people and i think that makes it worse!!
