Hi I just got a 97 corolla in august,
I needed some body work and recently a new power steering hose do to ahole which i have located, a new fuel filler neck do to rust holes. also just yesterday it would not start, thinking it is a fuse or weak connection somewhere as the starter worked when power was given to it manually.
I do not know the previous history of the car but the car has 160km on it now.
The winter is coming and if you know Canada's winters then you know it can be harsh on vehicles, especially older ones. I'm looking for a guide or tips on winter preparedness of my vehicle. I doubt any fluid flushes have been done ever or in quite some times. I plan on getting a wheel alignment as well as tire rotation shortly as well as plan to do an oil change in 1000km.
Also I have permit parking to park on the street, and the weather hits it hard there, I'm nervous of rusting and would like to get another 40000km on the vehicle.
