Agree with previous posters...don't just walk away from that Avensis...RUN away.! Neil

As much as I am a Toyota fan, I would walk away from a Toyota, if it is bad condition and there are better options. Honda Accord is a good choice. I was looking at the Civic 2007 onward, as well as late Mk2 face-lift petrol Avensis. I settled with my current car as it was more modern and had the space I need. Look in the Accord forums for any known weaknesses. Note - the model year you are looking at, has a cam belt that will need changing. Check the paperwork. Or you could end like this: - Note the mechanics face when he found the timing belt!

Seen this before. The video concentrates on one aspect of premium fuel - better performance - which isn't the only reason some use premium fuels. Other reasons may include perceived smoother running, better detergent package, and improved economy. At the end of the day, no single test will relate well to different engines and different models, and provide conclusive results for all. At best it is an illustration.

HAha well done for fixing it since i bought a car my bike hasn't seen the light 😂

I fitted reversing sensors without removing bumper..... Here's the install, but I don't know where the pics have gone... Sorry... I decided to fit a set of reversing sensors from here after nearly hitting a low wall twice while reversing in a car park. I bought from here because this is where I bought my Rear View Dimming Mirror for my Honda Accord, and they were very good. The kit I bought consists of 4 sensors, the CPU, the LED display, tapered spacers for bumpers that are not flat and even the correct sized drill. The first thing I did was to get underneath and remove the plastic cover. And locate and measure the distance from the ground to the top of this beam. As i didn't want to drill through the bumper only to hit this beam and not be able to push the sensor in. Then I found the centre of the car and measured of the sensor dimensions according to the instructions. Then drill the holes, carefully, and pop in the 4 sensors. I drilled the holes 58cm up and 40cm apart. The instructions say anything from 50cm-80cm up and from 30cm-40cm apart. I then collated all 4 wires and run them through the bottom of the spare wheel well cable tying as I went to keep things neat and tidy. I run the wires through the left side because that's where the reversing light (red wire) is And attached the cpu to the side of the boot with the supplied double sided pad. I ran out of light but when I get time I'm gonna cover the wires in some sort of wire sheath. I fitted the LED Display on the roof at the back of the car because I didn't really want to run the cable the whole length of the car. And wasn't too keen on having the LED Display on the dash either. This was how my Honda Accord was done by Honda themselves. You can see quite clearly the the display in the rear view mirror but, as you may have guessed, it is upside down. Doesn't bother me though. Left is still left and right is still right. Just the distance figures are reversed. Test: I reversed up to a wall and stopped as soon as the display showed 0.9m. I then measured the distance and it was pretty good. I then drove up to 0.5m and it started to over read. I then reversed right up to when the display beeped out and LED's turned solid and this is the gap left. All in all i'm very happy with the kit. The Display is bright and clear and the buzzer is plenty loud enough.
