New 140 Owner With Quick Question

[adesle]

Hi people, just bought a 2001, 140 gen7 high miler dirt cheap.

I had been looking at 190's but being only 20years young the insurers said otherwise ha. Loving it so far and have already done a couple hundred miles and so far (touch wood) no oil being burnt yet.

I just noticed the level on my coolant tank is a few mil under the LOW level. The cars fine but i wanna make sure everythings done properly. I wont be able to get hold of the toyota stuff for a couple days, so will i just be able to use distilled water just to get it above the low mark?

Cheers in advance!!!

*also im looking for a cheap rear spoiler as mine doesnt have one, pref chilli red but not fussed if price is right!

I wouldn't worry about the Coolant being a few mm below the low level for a couple of days, top up with red long life coolant when you get it.

Send Hawker on Celica Club UK a PM as regards the Spoiler. He (Paul) has a Chilli Red T Sport Spoiler available. He's located in Bargoed, South Wales. In my opinion however, the Gen 7 looks better without a Spoiler :)
