  1. Bought my Sup on Monday and I have the same problem, the guy I bought it from said he thought it was the air flow meter? However, I hooked up my mates GPS and my speedo is about 5 miles out so perhaps it is something to do with that... I'm thinking of taking it to Toyota for a diagnostic and then taking it to Fensport for a full service. Does anyone know how much toyota would charge to hook it up?
  2. It was more the fact that they said there was no history and said they didn't have the log book. They obviously had it but were trying to flog it for as much as possible cos i'd have seen the details on the log book. I'd have been happy to consider it if I knew the truth but the fact that the guy was obviously trying to deceive me for some reason was what really put me off. Good news anyway, I drove up to Sheffield to have a look at another and fell in love with it Mileage is high and it's got a few paint chips on the bonnet but I am now the proud owner of a dark red 1993 n/a Aero The only major problem is that the engine management light keeps coming on - the guy said there's a problem with the air flow meter. I'll stick a post in technical to see if anyone can help with this tho.
  3. Few more details on the car 1993 - L824 XLM - Red n/a Aero 28/06/2005 - Category D Insurance write off - So it was repairable but cost would be greater than the value of the car. When asked, the dealer said it had no history and hadn't even had any work done. I think now that the squeaky roof panel was prob because the chassis was twisted. The "Dealer" is a guy called Dorian Reed but the Car was being driven by his very large business partner called Malcolm who scarily resembled his rotweiller... The car was at his house - Off Gaton Rd in Reigate. going to look at another car tonight which looks much more genuine, so wish me luck.
  4. Hi Guys just thought i'd say hello, loads of great info on this forum. I'm looking to buy a Red n/a Aero at the moment, so if you know anyone looking to sell one let me know I went to JAE last month and was really impressed with the show. I've been in love with the Sup for ages but have only just got my hands on the cash to afford one Rob
  5. Hi Guys Great website I drove down to Reigate in Surry on Saturday to look at a Dark Red n/a Aero Supra. Car looked great, roof had a bad squeek when driving but that was it. However I started to go through the great check list from this site, straight away the guy said he didn't have the log book! To cut a long story short, I did a check with the RAC and it turns out that the car was written off in 2005! Really annoying and a wasted 250 mile round trip but at least I didn't drive away with a lemon. Thought I'd let you guys know. The police don't seem to give a sh*t. They just suggested telling Trading Standards. Found another car to look at now though, so I'm not too gutted
