Well the exhaust rotted out by the back box after about 8 years, I had it all replaced as the rest didn't look so good. We do get a lot of salt on the roads in the UK. Toyota's had a problem with water pumps failing around that vintage. Something used to cause the bearings to go.

The thing I was slightly disappointed in was the alternator. I'll chalk it up to bad luck. The voltage regulator went bad, but I was able to drive it around for a few weeks till I got it repaired.

My cousin had a 56 plate French made 5 door Yaris with the 2SZ engine and oddly enough it still has the original water pump (unless it got done before she got it). She has had a battery, exhaust and starter motor in that.

I still have the original water pump too. I hope it won't fail me :(
