[iLLestJT]

Right, i took delivery of my SR on 7/06/2006 its

Diesel, 2.0 and silver..way powerful its good.

Problems-

60MPH weird noise comes have no idea what it is (comes on at odd times)

dealer spelt the number plate wrong

side indicator loose fit? the seal is not attached to the body?

pictures up later

Hope you get it sorted.

Mine should have been at the dealers last monday but apparently the transporter group bent it.

A new is on its way sometime hopefully

The 2l diesel engine is good isn't it :D !

Sweet! B)

I actually saw two of them this morning - one silver, one grey. I prefer the silver and blue to the Alsace Granite.

I'm in a position now where I might have to take up on a company car and am seriously considering the 2.0D4-D Corolla SR as I'd prefer it to a bog-standard Focus or Golf TDCi/TDi in the same price range... what do you guys think? Would it be worth waiting 'til the new Corolla comes out? I don't want to get bored with a body shape I'd have owned since 2005 having already owned a T Sport....

It'd be nice to sneakily put the TTE performance chip in too if I did go down this route...

[iLLestJT]

the 2.0 diesel drives like a dream its nice...waiting for the new shape is up too you my friends.

however isnt the new shape due 2009? or is it another phase within the e12?

[DaveSR]

Right that's:

Rear window tints

Side Skirts

Rear Spoiler

;)

Very nice ..... I wish mine was like it but it was out of my price range :(

Nice to see that Toyota fixed the front fog lights issue :!Removed!: Shame they didn't do it from the begining :ffs:

All E12 Corollas suffered from this - take it to your dealer and they will trim the dash so that it fits more snugly! ***** poor quality I admit and something that should have been sorted a LONNNNNGGGGGG time ago.... :ffs:

Mines going in tomorrow to be sorted .... they are going to take it apart and shave the back, if its still bad then there fit a new dash

[iLLestJT]

[DaveSR]

One word

JEALOUS

[iLLestJT]

its was a pain in the a$$* fitting it in. slight alterations made to the cover at the back of the headlamp...although the connections was very simple no cutting or nothing required.

total cost £117 includes a set of hid xeno bulbs for the fog lights

[iLLestJT]
