1984 Toyota Tercel SR 5 review from Australia and New Zealand
"An excellent car for a small family"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We replaced one ball joint, and one constant velocity joint.
We also have replaced 2 clutches (Although the first was fitted by a clutch specialist and I suspect that the wrong pressure plate was fitted)
The only other things have been wearing parts eg. brakepads.
General comments?
My tercel has unbelievable 4x4 capacity
My tercel just won't quit.
My Tercel drove from Melbourne to Brisbane on only 70 litres of fuel.
