When rolling, the car idles at 1500rpm
Car jolts when steady on the throttle, and EM light comes on.
When rolling down a hill, EM light comes on and when it comes to idle it dies.
Sometimes reluctant to start.
New sump and/or gasket, rocker cover gasket and cambox gasket. The car sometimes smells of burning oil but there isnt any smoke so I think its dripping somewhere. When the cars parked up it doesnt leave any fluids on the floor.

Also, when the tank is full and the weather is hot, I can smell petrol inside and around the car, but again its not leaving anything on the floor.

All the doors stick to the rubbers, one back door one is split and both back doors rattle and sound funny when you close them,

Steering wobbles at motorway speeds, no matter how many times I get the wheels balanced.

Binary Shadow

Central locking/alarm just gave up
Peeing PAS fluid out the rack
Oil all over the gearbox, think its leaking
No oil pressure on startup for a good 5-6 seconds, sounds terrible.

Smells hot/burning oil, but its sposed to smell like that :D

All them problems and it still drives great and goes like stink.

PuNk

hole in the exhaust
only two of the five window washers work (two front ones, meaning my back window is most of the time useless).
the airbag light is on, suggesting theyve stopped working.
it always is dodgy to start.
the back doors are really hard to shut
the boot wont lock

Binary Shadow

sounds like that ones had a rear ender

*Eats front tyres -need to align front end.
*eaking a little oil from end of camshaft seal had a shop fix it twice but it still leaks.
*Back door doesent lock.
*Heater fan works on full speed only.
*Roof areial broken of.

My window doesnt always wanna go up.
I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

Patch of rust on Bonnet.  - I need to replace the bonnet.
Exhaust blows - I already have the replacement Back Box.
Dent on roof where some scrote walked over the car.  I could see the shoe marks.

She drinks oil.

Passenger side windscreen wiper no longer connected to driver-side wiper (& hence wiper-motor).

She judders sometimes when moving off, also when weather was cold she made an amusing fweeeep noise at high revs.

things wrong
when going over bumps, causes spoiler on boot to rub against back of car slightly. its only in 2 tiny areas (one on the left, one on the right, obviously) but it is down to the metal.. Ill get a pic later.

warranty will sort that - common Yaris problem.

:edit:

well, piccies.

It occurs here, where the spoiler sits flush with the C pillar area.


Down to the metal on the left :shock:


not half as bad on the right for some reason:



things I dont like
I want to sort a stone chip on the front out, but thats hardly something wrong :P

It has some bodyroll..... :lol: email sent though, prices on the way on the remedy ;) ;) insurance premium wont go up huzzah, only Ã,£25 admin fee.

air-con could do with a recharge (4yr old car, so its due tbh)

id like a faster steering rack...

id like braided brake-lines to give a nicer pedal feel (fluids been done afaik)

more ponies :mrgreen:

guess I just miss the Mazda :P  ...this thing aint as sporty (but so much easier to live with, and WAY cheaper to feed!! so its not all bad, at all.)

Edd

nowt really, theres an oil stain on the bonnet, at least think it, it wont polish out

oh and the thing that displays the oil level when u start up says its below minimum, but when i check with the dipstick its just below full

oh and its letting air in on the driver door somewhere, pisses me off sometimes

Plastic bits a little loose, a weak parcel shelf and a very slight oil leak. Thats it really.

/me rubs mahogany

My car has a few niggly faults, mostly minor electrical (panel lights dont work, headlight buzzer has stopped working etc) but mechanically it is sound and its bodywork is perfect aside from a large scrape on the front bumper.
