Dnk Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Price depends on where you take it and what you want doing, what's the mileage and have you any history regarding any maintainance/service work being carried out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbuddy Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 And Urm,,,, how much was that? Lol!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wantthatone Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 speak to craig ( dr jekyl) he will sort you out mate, nevins (gareth) you have met, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) upgrading the brakes with new disks and calipers and braided lines is hardly a "service". Nether is replacing the rad hoses, dizzy cap and ht leads... OR replaceing ALL the fluids. id ignore that it seems wantthatone has just given you a list of what he had done to his car and not read the origonal post Not that its not a bad idea. infact its good. if the above need changing then by all means do them if you can afford them, but they are not typical service items. if they dont need doing then dont. i wouldnt have thaught you need to change ALL the fluids. You dont ALWAYS need to change the plugs ether. you dont HAVE to change the filter on each service. just clean it out. it depends on how many miles its done. But if you dont know what was done on the last service. I'd have the brakes checked in general. The Oil changed along with the coolant. The rest id just have topped up if it needs it. I think there are a couple of levels of service. of varying prices doing different things depending on mileage. id just do the appropriate. it depends how well the car has been looked after previously. if uve met nevins im sure he will help. p.s... im no mechanic Edited April 6, 2011 by Guigsy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orrggg Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Get the timing belt change if ur not sure when it was last done. Changing oil,oil filter plugs is petty strait forward so if u have a few tools get stuck in yourself save yourself a few ££. But get the timmig belt checked at least.

J_Supra_07 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I be honest with you mate I don't know of a local garage that I'd take my car. As stated craig will sort it for you but ask as he is a full time tyre shop at the end of the day. Iam sure he won't say no to help out anther supra owner tho. :-). If u get stuck give me a shout.

Spike3.0 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Hi mate, The car was serviced only a short time before you bought it, its had new rear disks and all round pads. The oil and filter was changed as was the brake, coolant and steering fluids. Check the levels and colour, I don't know what sort of milage you've done since buying the car but it can't be that bad just yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 i would hate to get a service at your garage! replacing fluids is not part of a service or changing a dizzy cap! oh dear I didn't say not to replace any of them ever . You just don't NEED to do all of them EVERY service. And my car doesn't have a dizzy cap so I wouldn't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
