Hey guys... got a question regarding replacing the H7 bulbs in my 2012 TM Barina.... for some reason I just can't get an identical replacement to fit..... I tried a test fit using the blown one I pulled out, and that won't fit again either....nothing is n the way, the little spring wire...

Cheers guys... after all that I think I've decided to drop the tank anyway... as my plans for the car include a v8 swap... so probably wise to upgrade the pump etc while I'm at it.... any tips to make dropping the tank easier?

****... 21° you must be constantly cooling your house

New Zealand I'm assuming. .. got similar bills running my pump too hard

On the title topic.... simple answer. HUMANS.

Hey guys, I know this has probably been discussed elsewhere... but I can't seem to come up with anything vz specific... I've retired my vz exec wagon, for the time being... as it needs serious bottom end work.... it has a full tank of fuel in it and I don't want to let it sit there... what is...

Hey guys... still having misfire issues on cylinder 5.. code P0305, misfire cylinder 5.. have replaced heater tap that was leaking onto that coil... replaced coils plugs intake manifold gasket... still misfiring.... swapped coils from 5 to 6 (because they're easily accessible) and 5 still...

Pcv mod already done, gaskets already ordered

Ok got to the bottom of it.. bit the bullet and bought a half decent scan tool.. fault in coil in cylinder 5... the one right under the heater tap, which recently was leaking onto the plug... I suspect that's what caused it... ordered all 6 coils and plugs to be on the safe side

Not entirely sure if Jaycar has nz stockists.... but I'll find something

Yes I'm well aware... **** I'm just about to scrap the damn thing and buy an older one...

Hopefully it's that... a lot cheaper than possible shagged timing chains

One thing I've noticed, fuel consumption. .. about 70% higher than normal according to the L/100k

Would any of those be specifically affected by temperature? I'll go get a shop scan when I can afford it... but I'm pretty certain it's spark related... as it's only dropping one cylinder and when it does it stinks of fuel... in hindsight I should've just bought a vt-vy as I know those ecos...

I know, and I plan to do it... I just want to have a rough idea on possible causes. ... missing steadily, CPT/CEL light on... Smell of fuel.... all symptoms only occur when up to temp... I'm guessing maybe a coil is flogged
