New Member With A Banger

[Rustiebin]

Hi all,

New to the forum but not new to Toyota ownership, we've had a couple in the past. Way back we had a Corolla and Carina. But been with Nissan for the past 10 years. However we have just bought a banger Avensis over the weekend, an old '98 R plate 1.8 GS for £300 with a years MOT and 6 months tax. So back in the Toyota club.

It's in great nick, no rust and a sweet engine (120,000 miles). Had it serviced today and the garage said it was a good car. So hopefully a reliable second car for the work commute.

Has one problem though, the gearbox whines in second gear on de-acceleration. Been told a secondhand gearbox will be needed at some point. But hopefully it will hold for a while. If you have one going let me know....:)
