miko_supra Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 yeah nothing goes wrong. obviously you have to consider wear and tear like suspension and brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 how much are they to repair when things do go wrong. Ok some possibles are (all prices estimates of garage bills not DIY or mates rates):- sliders on the brake calipers seizing - poss £100 per caliper Radiators can go if its the original - £300 ish Water pump is a possibility - £300 ish (combine repair with a cambelt change) Suspension bits - ? (just buy one that doesn't rattle and knock!) Crank Pulley fails (again can combine with cambelt change) - £300ish these are just some things i've witness happening on here over the years, hardly everyday things but certainly possible things to look for.

Jackal Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I had my worries at first before buying my soop but when i spoke to the boys at TurboFit then put my mind at rest. I think the block in the soop the same as the lexus GS 300, if so when was the last time you heard a lexus lump go bang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
