Hi I have a '91 Celica Convertible with an auto box. I was having trouble when the car was cold getting her into top gear, and she would also change down into third gear if I went on a drive and the temp guage showed she was cooling down. After speaking to Dick in GM Automotives in Essex, he advised me to change the thermostat. One new thermostat later and the car is driving like a dream and the heater has improved no end.
Just wanted to pass on this advice.
Also, anyone out there (preferably in NI) selling a white Corolla GTI 88-91. Let me know!

If you've never had a GTi Corolla I can do a quick 'buyers Guide'? If you have, sorry to patronise

Hi
My contact at GM Automotives was Dick and his number is 020 859 88822. We reconditioned a Corvette gearbox 2 years ago and he did the job in one day.

Hi The above reply wouldn't let me type his name, highlighted it as porn. His name was Dcik - so swap the two middle letters - get my meaning?
