Alias1983 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Car people! Lend me your ears and kindly advice. I've recently bought a Yaris from a mate, got quite a good deal for it and it's cheaper to insure than my shitheap of a fiesta. I've been driving it for a week and it's a solid car so far. There is one niggling issue I notice every time I drive, however. Normally, when the steering wheel is turned off-centre, left or right, one expects the wheel to return to centre line when you accelerate. In the Yaris, however, this feature doesn't trigger unless the wheel is at a 45 degree angle or more. This makes the car feel jerky at times, as you're constantly compensating for this lack of compensation. I've done some preliminary googling and lots of people say it's a "Yaris thing" - And truthfully it's probably something I can get used to, but I'd prefer to get it working if I can. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it might be? I've seen suggestions ranging from camber on the tires to damage on the steering rack. I've booked it in for aservice on the 22nd anyway, so I'll ask then as well. Only time I ever seen that system work was in a g1 talon. Every new vehicle I have ever driven never did that but then again I never take my hand/s off the wheel. Your steering issue is unlikely to be related to the roll bar, however, if you do replace the connecting bolts give me a shout and I'll let you know which ones I went with because there are several aftermarket versions out there. Tom. I highly doubt it's this. But this wouldn't matter either. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 I know it's still something, but I managed 5k Sunday and again Tuesday and I was making bloody good time today. Recovery time. You're getting old, and it takes longer. Life sucks, I know this first-hand...! Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 This waiting for Han Solo's blaster by WE is getting tedious. First world problems. Note to self. If I cant find a pork pie check the millenium falcon's gun turret. My son likes to hide them in it *shakes fist* 'Matthew. . . .' Also at £60, the latest millenium falcon toy is a bargain, and works well, within the realm of its intended purpose (a childs toy). Link to post Share on other sites
Tommygunn Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Tinkerton, My post was unrelated to his steering issue, see post above yours. Simply that he and I have a Yaris. Alias, Ok, so I forgot to put in 'Anti' in my second post and see above. This steering problem is not an issue on my Mark I Yaris. Tom. Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore1-6 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Eat more food.Go to a proper running shop and buy some swanky trainers.You'll happily spend a few hundred on a toy gun (used once a week tops) but not invest in some decent running trainers (used daily) to prevent potential injury.

scorch Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I think the food eating is the root cause of my problem if I'm honest. I do need some new trainers though. Mine are a bit battered. Link to post Share on other sites

Gunmane Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Apparently I get to be in yet another parade on a hot *suitcasey* day tomorrow. Father in panic mode because we don't have materials to make more fans (which he had weeks to procure ahead of time for surprise parades like this one). I expect to be stuck gluing sticks to flyers either later tonight or tomorrow if the printing company fulfills an order. *fruitcage* local politics. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Mrs tink has, at some point, reversed into my corrado. I can deduce this, by the fact there is a dent in the nearside rear wheel arch, some silver paint, and some oddly familiar blue paint on the offside rear of the bumper on Mrs Tinks polo. *albartroth* hats.

Tinkerton Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Mrs Tink actually told me but I didn't realise it'd left a dent.Oh well, excuse to mad max it now! Who can get me loads of matte black paint? Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Yes. They think he got caught out in the sun and was weak and wheezy. Vets looked after him for a night and got him well fed up and watered. We picked him up today and put him back in the garden in a shelter we put together to keep him shaded until nightfall.

shmook Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I buy tatty cars for the Mrs. What's the point on spending a pile of extra cash for a model with spotless paintwork, when it will gather scuffs from her anyway? Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Double post rebel... Just been forced off the road by a twat in a Ferrari on my side of the road, shredding my front tyre against the kerb I hit and bounced off.
