Fuel filter

Air filter

Engine oil

Gearbox oil

£250 plus parts and fluids

£250 plus parts and fluids

using genuine toyota parts and decent oil what would it roughly be Dunk.

Are you going to do it yourself or get someone to do it? It depends what you use. I got 10L of oil for £40 delivered, but other oils were over £100.

I am having the work done at a garage just getting quotes for some other bits and bobs I want done before dragonball, all the work done on the supra will be done at garages to keep up the service history / receipts to prove what's been done.

I got

NGK Copper Core Plugs

10L of genuine Toyota 10w40 semi oil

Toyota fuel filter

Toyota oil filter

For £97 from Keron

Seems an expensive way to keep the value up slightly. Fair enough though.

Si (bignum) has written in the service book each time things have been changed, with the receipts from the purchases, which is what I've been doing to (almost) prove it's been done.

A lot will depend on who's fluids you use as to their cost so youd be best off

To some people it makes a huge difference and it makes it easier to sell in my opinion (not that I am in the near future). I am not saying this in a bad way but quite a few people would be put off by a young person such as yourself doing all the work on what is a high powered sports car.

With the list i put up which i added an aux belt, cam belt tensioner & idler i'd have thought

with the fluids you'd be around £550 inc vat plus the labour.

True. I'd agree with you there, that it may put people off that I've done it myself. I do enjoy messing with stuff, though

Hope you get a good deal, and good idea to keep the service records complete and up to date

That sounds a more realistic estimate to me.

Is it worth getting OEM stuff from Toyota?

What was there hourly labour rate ? as that just seems a tad too dear to me !

The only big job is the cambelt change, the rest is simple fluid changes and 3 filters !

£250 at £50 per hour gives 5 hrs to do the work which should be plenty of time.

Entirely up to you, how much can you save by using pattern parts ?

over 200 quid.

Not sure, it was on an old reciept that came with the car, i'd never pay it myself as i get trade prices at toyota from being in the mechanics trade

If you only change the fluids and the 3 filters is it worth using non genuine unless ofcourse they

are of a known good make.

The 3 genuine filters are £71 discounted then the rest is just fluids and say a couple of hours labour

to do it

just had mine done last thursday.

air filter

with the labour £577

I would use genuine parts for the fluid bits ie oil filter, fuel filter (air filter i'd happily go with a pattern part as it'll still filter better than any aftermarket type) and high quality fluids.

If you want to save a few quid then i'd try and ascertain when the diff, fuel filter, gearbox oil etc were last done.

Also if it were me and the car was running sweet then bar an oil/filter change I would not mess with her until after the Dragonball.

Going back a few years here, but I had that lot done at Toyota for around £350 - these days I'd not like to guess.. maybe closer to 500?
