Doing my head in now, replaced the injector seals for some slightly better ones from Toyota, cleaned the intake valves and fitted an oil catch can with check valve but it's STILL picking up false knock.

I have to wash it either first thing in the morning or early evening in the summer otherwise it's just a bit of a nightmare!
I did wax it when I first got it but there's still loads of swirl marks, I've been thinking about getting it detailed by a pro for a while, I might have it done once the...
