  1. Do you mean the cambelt tensioner or the aux belt tensioner
  2. Got a strange loud knocking sound coming from the front of the engine, it is speed related and it seems to be coming from the top of the engine where the cam sprockets are, i have taken the cover off and listened while i revved the engine which the noise starts to dissapear when the revs get higher, when i come off the throttle the noise reappeared as normal I have not had any dip in power as far as i can tell and the sound seems to sound like a plastic cover being nocked but when i checked i could not see any problems or anything in the way of the cambelt, which leads me to belive its something on the inside of the engine however when i plac my ear over the oil filling hole you cant hear any sound resonating from there, however you can feel the knocking on the top of the engine and you can hear it in the car, also when the car in Drive (its an auto) and stationary the noise is even louder ??? So i really dont know what to think can anyone help Video added - Sorry not a very good quality one - will post a better one soon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHrRLo3B2nw This is while it is idling (as this is the only time the sound is present) and close up to the cam sprocket which is where the sound seems to be coming from- please note there is no missfire either and the sound is "plasticy" i.e it does not sound like a metal sound.
  3. Need to order the following items. Stock Aux belt Stock Cam Belt Brake Fluid Coolent Oil filter Cam Cover Gasket set Engine Oil - BPU supra. Money waiting...
  4. Im sure lots of people will keep an eye out, Speak to the police and inform the DVLA
  5. Has anyone on here used the above company and if so any bad experiances at all??
  6. Not sure he didnt say really or not that i can remember anyway.
  7. Not me.... Im fine and dandy. But a guy who lives around my area has or should i say had a supra, he was going to sign up as a member soon but i had a call from him on sunday telling me that he had an accident not long ago....this guy was lucky to be alive after this.... As far as he said he was driving and a animal ran out in front of him he swerved at 55mph and lost control of the car (not sure if it was wet he did not say) he then took out a lampost and two small trees and then rolled it on its side, He only just got out of hosiptal recently and this is the first oppertunity for him to call me and tell me of this, apparantly he had some serious injurys. He really is very lucky, He is on the lookout for another Supra TT so i said that i would look for him so if anyone knows of any good ones then PM me and i will send him the info... Pics of his very sadly damaged supra...
  8. Yeah the colouring is defo different i would not be happy with that. Silver is one of the hardest colours to match
  9. Hmm yeah, Just a quick question how much should i be paying for a major service, i.e Cambelt, aux belt all fluids etc.
  10. I think i would want to plow it at the engine but not sure where to start the car is BPU but not sure what else there is to do
  11. As above really, i want to spend the above but i am not sure on what i want to do with the car.... I dont really want to do anything to the exterior of the car apart from get the wheels refurbished, and perhaps get the bumper resprayed (stone chips etc) The car is coming up to 80k miles now so i am not sure if i should plow the £1000 (or what ever i have left) at the engine or what any of you guys got any good suggestions??
  12. The transmission fluid dipstick should be next to the Oil dipstick which is near the back on the intake side of the engine. For the fluid use Toyota Type IV
  13. Yeah this is what i thought but i have checked to see if any weights have come off and i cant see any sign of it
  14. No there does not seem any play in them - which baffels me although i am going to check again on sat to double double check
  15. have you checked your transmission fluid? Im not an expert but i would imagine if this is low then the Tourqe converter may not have enough fluid to lock therefore you get higher revs and no drive - I stand to be corrected though
  16. Looks like he may have a slighty restricted Air flow is he wheezing or looking distressed at all?
  17. Ok had a search on here about this but it does not seem really close to what my symmptons are... The Car is a Jspec but with UK brakes. Basicly i am getting vibration in the car when i drive over 60mph, along with this is when i am braking i get a slight brake wobble and then when the car slows down to say 20mph i can feel a pulsing on the brakes. It cant be warped brake discs as they are uk spec and Chris wilson apparantly has never heard of warped discs on UK spec discs. Also on cirtain roads when i am going about 30mph i hear a very loud whine or Woooo sound (im am trying to get a sound clip which i will post up when i get a good sound) but this is also pulsing...its like a costant "wooo" sound but with louder shorter "WOOO's" in it.... bit like WoooWOooWOoooWOoooWOooo and it slows down with the speed of the car. I am getting a runout gauge and yet to test this but i have put it down to the fact one or more of my wheel bearings are failing, however to counteract that i went to a garage and they said there is no play in the wheels?? I have Steel Spiggot rings on my aftermarket wheels and the nuts are done up to spec?? Does anyone else come to the conclusion that it may be the bearings
  18. Cheers Would it be these two items? http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cm220-dial-test-indicator/path/engineering-hand-tools-measuring-equipment http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/et113-125mm-mini-magnetic-stand/path/engineering-hand-tools-clamps-stands
  19. As above really, need to look for a cause of pulsing/vibration under braking and driving normaly at speed. I have UK spec discs so doubtful that they are warped.
  20. hahahahaha....haha ha ha .......ha Erm link??
  21. Hmmm does anyone have a sound clip of this??, I take that it does not effect the handling at all then? just an annoying sound.
