On the celica- defo not a heat shield. Personally it sounded like a breathing problem. When revving the engine whilst listening to the engine there was, what could only describe as back pressure.
When it hits 3000 rpm and up to 3500 rpm there is a knocking sound on the top, then it goes once over the 3500 rpm.
Thought it could be the lifters.
Understood about the mondeo but a 1.8 lx i just couldnt..
The lexus is a smart car and is lookiing in the lead at the mo. They are very nice cars.
To throw a spanner in the works, A classic wagon that is standard isnt out of the question?????
