Here are Jonns notes from his recent work on our 1995 Toyota Celica GT-Four:

Carry out full inspection. Start on the floor and move 5o ramp when available. Strip and fit new stop and tail bulb to offside rear light and strip and fit new number plate bulbs and test, ok. Inflate all tyres and torque wheel uts when inspection finished. Adjust handbrake via shoes. Clean rear diff area. Strip offside front arch liner and gain access to washer pump which is not working. Disconnect multi plug and check with multi meter. With Rob operating switch, check that power supply and earth are present. All ok, requiresnew washerpump. Carry out road test. Car suspension is very firm and “crashy” over rough terrain but can’t find any play or movement at all. Car drives fine on the road. Complete pdi sheet at ge same time, ok.

Strip engine and remove cambelt. Check water pump, ok. Remove idler and tensioner pulleys. Press automatic tensioner body back and fit pin to hold in place. Ready for new belt kit when it arrives.

Fit new cambelt tensioner and idler pulley. And start reassembly.

Finish cambelt and reassemble. Fit old battery from under my bench and modify clamp to secure. Run and test. All ok. Drain washers and fit new pump. Refillmand test. Still jot working. Pump working but pipes blocked. Blow out front pipe and test, ok. Rear headlining wet so drop head lining and found pipe disconnected at washer jet. Reconnect and test. Ok. Refit headlining and carry out road test. All ok. Refit undershields.
