juanchan Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Excellent colour choice there Hope you got a good one from keighley. As someone mentioned, JodyT on here runs Interpro in Bristol, but it might be a bit far from you. looks good apart from the chav roof spoiler, don't know why but those things just seem to ruin the classic shape of the supra, like the zeek front though i had one on my first supra and they look great. I'm starting to like those roof spoiler things! Maybe not £120 like them, but I think they don't look too out of place anymore. i still think that at £5500 its a lot of car considering what else you could buy out their for £5500 All my mates have recently bought hot hatches and every single one of them paid more for it than I did for my TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 What - sacrilege. Don't like them atall TBH I used to think that, but there's a white facelift Supra around here that I see quite frequently and it's got one on, and I'm starting to think it looks pretty good. Shall I get my coat on the way out?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemmjonny Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Thanks for all your replies still think i will get it checked out somewere. i like the car looks good and go's well. just a few questions The MIL light (think its called that) is on when i start the engine but turns off when i put the handbrake down is that right? The right hand side dash info lights don't come on is that a easy fix? and one thing i just noticed the white bottle on at the front of the engine bay has rotted at the top is that something i can change/fix thanks Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 [quote= The right hand side dash info lights don't come on is that a easy fix? try giving it a smack with the palm of your hand upwards - works for me - due to dry solder joint; this is a very widely reported issue and is an easy fix. Id be a little concerned though as all your system management lights are NOT visible without this pod ie oil, engine warning etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's currently working fine at the moment but it wasn't a couple of months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 The connections behind the pod can break, but just to shit you up I saw a very ropey example that had the warning lights disconnected on purpose (cos when they were reconnected it was like a Christmas tree). Roof spoiler is naff, lose it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Fixing the dash pod, is very easy... if you are half handy with a soldering iron you will be fine. Take the top dash piece off with 4 or 5 screws, unclip the odo wiring, unclip the wiring bit from the otherside. Unscrew the unit, open it up and if you look carefully you will probably see cracks in the solder. Just refresh them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemmjonny Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 i now get engine light, 2 oil lights, and a abs light is that all of them? just cleaned the contacts at the back seems to be holding out cheers for all of your help jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tones Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 No i think you miss understood me, i can clearly remember when i was buying my soop 5-6 years ago a 'straight' car like that with extras such as FMIC, bodykit etc etc, would have set you back 12-15k so if this car is 'straight' then i still think that at £5500 its a lot of car considering what else you could buy out their for £5500 That was in the stone age though,. time to move on bro ..Good price for the car in fairness, im guessing he got it for even less!!
