In Oxon try Kidlington Tyres and Exhausts. They do all my Supra tyres and wheel balancing and alignments and really know their stuff. Reasonable prices (compared to Just Tyres in Buckingham anyway), quick service and they'll probably pick up any other issues that need attention if you ask them to check wheel related things!

Try typing in 'supra bulbs' in the search on ebay - loads of options!

I try to always put Shell V-Power in my supe so I got a new credit card from Citi as I get 3% rebate on all Shell fuel I buy with it. Puts V-Power closer to normal unleaded in price. Not a lot but it all helps these days! I only use this card for fuel as the interest rate's not brilliant but anything to get one back on Mr Darling is good by me!

I tried a few and ended up with A-Plan. They have a specialist unit dealing with sporst and imported cars. £480 fully comp on a '97 TT import.

I've been reading lots about the new road tax rules that came in with the new budget and was a bit confused about the specifics for my vehicle. Last year I imported a '97 Supra TT (well Jurgen did for me!) and I read that the new car tax rules apply for cars registered with DVLA since 2001. Clearly mine was registered in 2007 despite being 10 years old so I thought I'd be hit with the new rules putting me in the £400 tax bracket (based on emissions). I thought it was totally daft that my car tax would be more than double the tax paid on exactly the same car if it was first registered in 1997 i.e. if I bought it in the UK. After getting more and more p1$$ed off and confused about it /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_angry.gif I've had a chance to call the DVLA who called up my car on their database and they confirmed I would only pay £185 tax after all - phew! I asked about the whole 'date registered with DVLA' rather than year of manufacture being relevant and they said it was 'whichever is the earlier'. I hope that's cleared up a few things for anyone having the same doubts as I did.
