Kammy Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hi Peeps, My car (NA 5 spd) has just started to misfire when it is warm. It is only slight but still noticeable and causes car to judder when accelarating from low revs. I've just had the car serviced and plugs changed so expect it to be the leads. My local Toyota dealer has quoted me £135.00 for a set of leads. Does anyone know where I can get them cheaper from Toyota, a garage that offers members discount or any other reliable source. I have tried Paul from the club and waiting for him to get back to me but any help in the meantime would be appreciated. Thanks Kam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Tell them you think they should replace them, the car was fine before you dropped it of, now it isnt with the new parts, and tell them why should you fork out when you paid to have new parts done.

Kammy Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 Sorry mate, the car was already mis firing and that is why I decided to get it serviced. It's had that done and still mis firing hence why I'm thinking to do the leads next. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 have you checked the distributor cap (inside) and the rotor arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kammy Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 sorry mate, I'm no mechanic so I haven't done, Is this something easy to do yourself or am I best to get the garage to check it out? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 If youre not comfortable with a spanner then get a garage to do it, if they havent been changed then thats the first place Id look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 i would look there first too, plus the distributor cap is a service item so might be the cause, or the contact inside might need a scrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzle Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 just had same problem.. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=193538 contact steve manning for parts, leads were £112.. the dizzy cap is easy to check m8, just 3 bolts, rotor arm is inside, and easily removable (if needs be) with 2 screws.. replaced mine which was corroded on the tip.. dizzy cap listed was wrong size so make sure you ask for n/a one rather than the TT part number listed in post..

Swampy442 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 TTs dont have distributers And make sure you get the HT leads back in the same positions otherwise it wont run at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzle Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) TTs dont have distributers And make sure you get the HT leads back in the same positions otherwise it wont run at all! oh, wonder why mine is too big then? correct part number was on it! would facelift/pre facelift be different maybe?

fizzle Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 ok, just spoke to toyota mine is pre facelift so bolts are slightly different.. they sent me the facelift version, which is part number 171-70020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS2004 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 The cables on N/As get disturbed when replacing the plugs anyways and the rubber gets brittle. I had the same problem - Try contacting Keron on here, he did me a set of leads of a 77k N/A for £20, and toyota had quoted me either £96 or £196.. cant remember.. But either way give Keron a call he might be able to sort you out with some 2nd hand ones off a low milage car. And off topic but im really liking them lights in the profile pic - that aint yours though is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
