Toyota Corolla Saloon 2lit diesel 1990

Hi! I’ve had this 1990 Toyota Corolla 2lit diesel saloon since mid 1997, and there are just over 400,000km (about 250,000 miles) on the clock. I have done almost all my own servicing and repairs as it is a very simple car from the technical point of view. Over the years, the clock stopped working (I now have to look at my watch to check the time!), and I had to replace the starter and alternator with reconditioned units. The radio supplied was c**p so I replaced it with one I bought in Lidl. The heater blower failed at 350,000 km and I replaced it with one from a scrapyard. The car’s engine has never been opened up, apart from replacing the timing belt at 160,000km and 320,000km. It has the original clutch and gearbox. I am really impressed by the incredible reliability of this car, which has never once let me down, or left me stranded at the side of the road. The original 20-year old spare tyre is still in the boot. I recommend the Corolla for anyone looking for a supremely reliable car (especially if you don’t mind carrying out minor repairs yourself as they come due, rather than allowing minor matters such as a slow puncture become a blowout on the motorway.)

Toyota Corolla Saloon 1992

1500 cc low mileage, 40,000, tidy and service history, should be reliable and economical, but first problem was the auto that would sometimes select neutral in a corner or roundabout and leave one coasting for a bit, not only potentially dangerous but also very annoying as you never knew when it would happen, it was fixed ok by local dealer but was still inconsistent when accelerating and would kick down too late when you needed it and change down unnecessary when accelerating gently. Other problems included unreliable central locking and electric windows, The cam belt cost a small fortune to replace, also economy nowhere near my older 2 litre Montego, which I had bought at slightly higher mileage and sold still going well at 120000 miles, I now have a 318Ti BMW, and like the Montego it is comfortable and I don’t get Toyota back ache on a trip, it handles and performs well and the economy is good, so far, well over a year it has cost very little to run, and no problems at all.
