Just Saying Hi....

I have just recently bought a 2005 black 3dr corolla t-sport. Pick it up next sat and can't wait! I px'd my mk2 focus 2.0 tdci as I kept getting constant problems and missed the fun of petrol engines. Now I had loads of problems with focus and had that from new. Before that I had a pug 306 gti6, which I had few problems with even though they can be tempremental. Both the gti6 and focus forums were great sources of information and it looks like this place is too. I've read about possible gearbox and dash probs on the corolla, which I will look out for whilst I still have warranty. Is there anything else I need to know? Thanks in advance! :)

Welcome to the club matey

Take it the moment when it hits 6,200rpm helped the decision to buy one?

Piccies asap too :P

It most certainly did! The salesman said to push it. I kept thinking surley I should change gear? Then OMPGH it kicks ya! Had to have one then. Will miss the mid-range torque of my tdci, that will take a bit of getting used to! (may also miss the 44mpg!lol) Will post pics when I pick her up next week!

Tis good fun! The engine note when its on lift is awesome too :D

Happy motoring and erm, yeah, i'd forget 44mpg :P

SO going back to my original post any other issues I should look out for?

:D Have now picked my new pride and joy up. Absolutely well chuffed. Haven't had much of a chance to open her up yet, due to traffic and weather probs on the way home, Mind you she is showing an average mpg of 35 so not all bad! Had it supaguarded too which I have passed on my previous cars. Defo worth the money imo. Looks mint. Will get some pics up soon!
