    Should I drive it???

    When you fill a 7M you need to set the heater to HOT to let it fill. You need to keep a close eye on the coolant EACH MORNING before you start the motor topping up as needed while any air in the system bleeds out.

    MY ROD!?! ==jjj=()~~

    Sorry if it came across as harsh but it's reality the Mk3 is about the LAST car I'd recommend for a student unless your folks are wealthy! Just ring Toyota and do some comparison shopping for common service parts say compared to a Chev or a Ford.

    Water Jet!

    One companies approach>> The combination of water jet cutting with an abrasive material makes short work of metal, concrete and composites with far less dust and noise than other methods. NLB's abrasive cutting nozzles feature carbide-tipped, stainless steel orifices for extended life.
