my corolla was like that, until i gave it a full service, im talkin engine flush, all liquid change inc oi,l coolant, spark plug and after that she was running like the 1st day i got her! when moving off from traffic ligths the head lights would dim a bit before i would give it a bit of revs, but after the service i didnt have that problem!

soz, back to topic - mine idles at around 900 rpm or just below 1000 rpm when warm!

The blacktop engine manual says the idle speed should be 880 +or- 50rpm at operating tempurature with the aircon switched off.
So your idle indicates something is wrong? exactly what and how bad i'm sure chiksluvit or acesniper can answer...
The missing half of your temp needle is a bit curious too lol?

i know mate,but iv the car a year has been so reliable for me, and i haven had t put a drop of coolant in her,i think its the only levin tat doesn drink oil at all,she put out healthy figures for me so nothing indicates there is something wrong internally,but as u say the normal idle on the levin 880rpm thereabouts dubs levin idles the same to im bit baffled,as for the needle its mad ha.

well i took her to a garage and let them do it!! it was part of a MOT + full service deal. and too be honest i'll probably give this beast the same full service before mot as well as i was pretty impressed with it all!

after all, there are loads of stickers on the engine bay saying when the car was 'de-sluddged' i think i'll keep up wiht the tradition!
