Washer motor for the rear window failed, but as it's combined unit for front screen I had to get a complete unit. Covered under the waranty.
Nothing else done, except routine maintenance, beware platinum DENSO spark plugs from Toyota, they cost £12.50 each!!!
A very reliable large roomy car.
Much more economical than handbook figures suggest, I get at least between 39/43 MPG, based on 3 years general driving and the occasional thrash to work the valves thoroughly, it really pulls well at high revs!
I supplied this report, happy to say the old girl is still going strong, now at 125000 miles, only needed starter motor (£45.00 second hand) new battery after 9 years from new! Well it was a Toyota Battery!! Still same exhaust, needed new disks and normal consumables, No rust, still looks good. I will drive it until it drops, as I have only been offered £500.00 part exchange!! not worth changing when depreciation will cost more than 500 in the first year!
I have a 1993 carina 2.0 executive and has done 63500 miles and have been offered £1000 for mine, but I'm not going to sell it mine leaked water from the cooling system it wasnt a gasket it was a bolt what had nearly come out I tightened it all up all the bolts under the engine and it has worked fine since carinas are very good they never break down and parts never go.
