My NA needs a service!!

My car's MOT is up on the 20 August!

I would like to have it fully serviced before this date. Are there any of the North West lads who do their own servicing interested in helping me out or even earning a few quid!

OR

Where should I take it?? I only want new plugs, oil & filter and air filter changing really. I have only had the car 6 months and although I fancy doing it myself I could do with someone who knows what they are doing to show me first?? The oil filter and the middle two plugs are my main worries!

I also have an uphill drive so doing it at home isn't really an option!!

Help please!

H.

drive it down here and i'll do it for £30 and you supply the parts..sunday is fine!!!!

Great offer Dave but I was hoping for something more local!!

I may take you up on that though.....good man!!

Ive used HyperSR in hindley green near Leigh and they where fine so i can recommend them. Plugs on an NA are a PITA arnt they?

Give it a go yourself H not as bad to do as you think

To be honest, the plugs aren't half as bad as you think once you get the hang of it....

Couple of 12mm nuts and the section of the intake runner moves out the way, after you remove the airbox.

I still haven't made my mind up about these guys. Good and bad reports have made me a bit unsure!! What price would you expect for an engine service?

I am a man who can break and iron ball. As a first go I would just like to have some supervision...

What swirl marks??

H.

pay me and i'll come to you..lol

Just give it a go yourself mate, once you've done it once (which can be a PITA the first time), it'll be very easy from then on.

The oil filter can be a bugger though (at least on the TT's), make sure you have a good oil filter strap tool.

It's a sound investment and will save you £££ over the years - not to mention the satisfaction of "I did that"

pay me and i'll come to you..lol

Have you been drinking again Dave??

H.

Its easy mate do it your self..if you want I'll give you my number and i'll talk you through it on a saturday evening..and yes i'm as pissed as you think i am..

AB tyrers and exhausts ( opposit Appley Bridge railway station ) they did my Oil and Filter change for £65 Valvoline fully Synthetic 5-40 and they will change your plugs too, Give Andy a ring on 01257 251018

good deals on tyrers too

Or failing that i,ll help you if you want to tackle it yourself

Cheers

I'm moving up your way lads....seems there is a lack of supra servicing available

I hear what you are saying Darryl but I am not set up at home for the filter change especially. I can't even see where the plugs are, so a bit of help is needed as a first go!

Cheers Ian. I may go there for the filter and oil and then tackle the plugs myself (with you..)

H.

H.

Ill give you a hand mate and if you want to drive it to Preston my mum and dad have a nice big, flat driveway to do it.

It's really not that difficult, you just need to be methodical and ensure you have the right tools. If you're serious about giving this a try yourself I'll scan in the pages from the Toyota service manual (will be tomorrow PM though)

THAT!! Would be great mate.....

I will invest in some tools aswell tools too. I have a few tools but probably not big enough for jobs on the Supra.

Do you need me to PM my e-mail address??
