Hi I am new around these parts and this is my Corolla. It is totally standard aside from the TTE spoiler which was added when the car was 3 years old. So some photos. I don't really have any plans to upgrade it as I think it is pretty perfect as standard but I thought I would share some photos with you guys. Rob
Cheers Anc's. I'll be doing it down at the yard where I do a bit of work on Trucks so spring compressors etc all in hand. Not expecting it to be a 10min job but at £249 for the shocks from resident parts supremo, I can spend the rest on my jaunt to France in 2 weeks.
I tow quite a bit with my 2007 D4D, it has a 6 speed box and I find I just have to work up & down the gears to keep engine sweet. As for MPG I get between 28 and 36 mpg depending mainly on wind direction. My caravan is heavier than yours at about 1350kg but its mainly wind not weight that changes consumption..
You check your tyre pressure on your car & your van and also the breaks on your van. Don't forget hitch coupler is automatic & sometimes can stick if not serviced properly . I hope this helps.
