first day — Toyota Curren, 2.0 liter, 1996

On the first day I went to the garage to see what I bought :) I decided to start with the hood, but it does not open 0_o. I started to figure it out - the winding of the cable is not fixed in the "white plastic opener", it hangs shorter ... Well, there’s nothing to tape in my hands back and forth, then I couldn’t insert the cable :) I sweared. It closes, opens - beauty, but the hood goes up and down by 2 mm and at the same time rattles - I wrapped the same tape around the loop and silence :). It’s useful to inspect everything and everything ... Ahh, half of the plastic masks are broken, half of the caps are missing, the paintwork is in a poop ...
It whistled from the belt area, took it off, twisted the shafts, it seems normal, screwed the belt back - it doesn’t whistle :) one loop on the trunk is generally dead, most likely to be replaced.
There was an old signaling, but the key fob was washed by the previous owner, in general it was for beauty. It was decided to go to put a new one. A couple of calls to friends and now I'm already booked for 4 pm to a specialist in "these cases."
Started it up - drowned it out and heard some new whistle ... listened, either air or some kind of bearing, the mood dropped sharply ...
While I had free time, I drove into the store to buy various unworthy plastic masks ... it seems that there are a lot of things in stock, but it looks like the car is already old, not all found … Gave 200r took 10 plastmasok (fastening upholstery).
Came to the electrician while he put me the signaling (sheriff) I was tinkering with the radio. Well, it doesn't start and that's it. Played yesterday but not today. He took it out, removed the old one, checked the fuse, still does not play ... The signaling is installed, closed, opened, auto-start, timer, temperature - in general, all the benefits :). At the same time, I agreed that an experienced mechanic would listen to the engine.
Time 6 — hands to the feet and to the mechanic, along the way, capturing the wife's husband (the owner of the Corolla), I drive to the service. On the way, he opens America to me, that all devices (including the radio) work when the 0_o key is inserted. Music is playing more fun. The mechanic listened to me, dispelled my doubts about the pump, said that the air was making noise somewhere ... and I joyfully rushed home to wash the purchase of a car with my family.
