              Changed the oil and filter today, the oil had the consistency of black paint even when it came out fairly hot. Also, my dash lights are awesome, which I thought was pretty neat seeing as people seem to have crappy dash lights. Headlights are great too, although I seem to accidentally leave the indicator switch parking lights on when I turn the car off, that's rather irritating.
              Got a crochet rug for the back seat

              Also attended All Jap Day at Glenelg yesterday, I drove my mate's KE11 Corolla and he drove his Toyota Sera

                  What is the purpose of this?

                  On injector 4.

                  Mine has a hole in it that squirts out some diesel once the car is initially fired up.

                      What coilovers did you purchase? And how much did they set you back?

                        This is what they were listed as on eBay, adjustable height and damper

                        And they were $718.54 to my door, and took 6 days from payment to delivery, which surprised me as they came from the UK

                          That's alright I brought a set of JOMs off veedub machine in the uk for $430 (including shipment) and also was shipped in a week which was surprising!

                              All the injectors are made the same. The small tubes either side of the injector are connected with a rubber hose that returns the bleed off diesel. The end one, no 4 has nothing to connect to so is capped off. Just buy a new cap from any diesel service place & hopefully your leak will be gone. BTW are you coming to " The day of the Volkswagen" on this Sunday at civic park, opposite Tea tree plaza?
                              Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.
