Still cannot find the coolant leak looks like it could be the plastic pipe under the engine but there is pink stain on the engine block at the front ? 2 litre HDI well so much for warrant given

I've used oven cleaner on previous cars, to clean intake manifolds and EGR valves.
I'm of the school of thought if I can take it off and do it myself, I'll be damned if I'm taking it to a garage for them to charge me and take 3 weeks to do it.

Or even worse, take it to a garage for them to keep the car and do no work on it until the warranty company cough up.


Having said that, Toyota Japan have just issued a recall for a batch of faulty valve springs on the 86. Mine is in the potential batch.
I'll leave that bit for my local dealer to enjoy.
