Missile Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Just took my car into get the cam belt changed. Already cost a bit to get through MOT Needed a new set of front brake hoses and two front tyres. Decided to do the cam belt whilst it was in for the hoses. Half way through the job they found out the crank shaft pully was broken. £200 on top of the rest puts it to near on £700 to get through an MOT. That could have gone onto Exausts bodykits etc etc etc. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :angrymod: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 bummer but then brakes are slightly more important than nice looking skirts lolx Feel for you though hun. I'm starting to save for my supra's service/MOT in August just in case. i think it helps to have some wads stashed away for these unexpected and nasty surprises so I'd keep a bit of money on one side after its all done if I were you Lx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 But you would have been gutted if you had spent out on an exhaust and the crank pulley had gone. At least you know its sorted for a good while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Although a costly day for you i would be more than happy that they found the broken pulley and didnt just bodge it as if that had let go then could of been alot more expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeatphr Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Sorry to hear the pain that the Supra brings you once again. Glad to hear that they caught it before something more significant happened to your car, motor etc. Hope everything works out and that it doesnt cost your any more money for a bit. Cheers, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Its always the same with these cars, once you get into it theres other stuff to be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Such is life. At least it is sorted now. Better replacing before it breaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Welcome to Supra ownership. At least your garage spotted it. Give me honesty any day. Imagine the damage if they hadn't piped up. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missile Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Thanks everyone. It actually feels better to know im not the only one with probs. Only bought the supe for its reliability, and to be honest its only wear and tear parts. Apparently the cam belt was near on ready to go, Plus the pully had about 50 - 100 miles left on it due to being so badly cracked. So i guess its another £200 and not an engine re-build.
