  1. That should be fine...as long at it is marked 89661-14600 I believe they are the same. Would I be able to take it off your hands? What sort of cash would you be looking for with postage? PM me if you prefer. Thanks! Steve
  2. Not getting diagnostic codes on mine so looking for a spare! If you can help please PM! Steve (Stroud)
  3. Very clean and beautiful white one living near the railway station on the high street. I presume this isn't used year round.... if it is even more respect due!
  4. I'd like to know too. The Toyota dealership in Patchway seem more than happy to take my money and don't have a problem sourcing spares, but I'm interested in finding a local specialist who knows their way around these vehicles, can provide holistic maintenance and, perhaps, be more cost effective.
  5. Agree about the real cash difference (about 60p/litre saving still). But the petrol price in 2004/5 was between 85-90p/litre depending on where you filled up and, back then, I was getting LPG for around a third the price of petrol which was a no brainer. If you check the budget treatment of LPG over the past few years, the tax per litre has gone up more on LPG than on petrol by several additional pence and, proportionately, the tax take on LPG has gone up compared with petrol. I contacteded my MP about it, but it looks like the votes in LPG are pretty low priority.... Anyway... it's still worthwhile for many .... and a good way to reduce the cost of motoring
  6. I'm a fan of LPG. I converted my 4.6 Range Rover 6 years ago, have covered 100K miles with it so far and saved about £15K in fuel tax. But I wouldn't convert my Supra. The RR has a 135l tank (110l usable) giving 300 miles range (+ 300 on petrol). But I could only get a small tank in the Supra using up the (already) limited baggage space and having to fill up with LPG continually would be a real pain. The economic benefit of LPG has diminished over the last 5 years... 29.9p/litre at Asda and Morrisons in 2004/5 is now more like 60p/litre at the likes of Shell and the proportionate benefit is lower now compared with petrol. I would also have concerns about the saleability of a LPG Supra. There are still some people who will shy away from LPG conversions, so the potential pool of buyers is reduced - of course, not an issue if your cars a keeper.... I think LPG will suit some, but not all... Good luck with the conversion! And post some photos and experiences! Steve
  7. You were driving south into Brookthorpe village Saturday around 6pm in a nice silver Supra. I was in silver Supra too heading towards Gloucester.
  8. Just about to do this job and got the mounts off without drama using the wedge technique mentioned above and 10mm pivot ratchet wrench. I wondered if any members with experience of this job have top tips for sealing the lower mounts against water ingress?? There were the remains of what looks like a fibre washer. I was thinking about using sealant between the plate and bodyshell.. what do you think?
  9. Thanks, probably go with the garage the dealer I bought it from uses then...
  10. Thanks for the tip, Red. Any more suggestions a little closer to Gloucester would be welcome too!
  11. My SZ is due its first post-import service and I'd like to keep in the hands of a garage that knows what it's doing. Any recommendations for Supra specialists in Gloucestershire?
