My car gets to the UK very soon (next week) :ecstatic: Im going to have to get it serviced with a guy thats never looked at a TT supra before (local). Is there anything i should ask him to look out for, replace, top-up, pay attention to etc... Any specific points at all???

 

Be greatful for any info/points as i dont want to the car to go 'pop' any time soon and be in perfect running order! Anyone with some experience what would you do?

 

Cheers :thanks:

Mostly the same as any other car - fluids , plugs , filters, brakes etc.

 

When you put new plugs in you've got to remove these 2 breather hoses which can be rock hard, you can get them off with a little heat to soften the rubber but it's best to replace them.

 

toyota part number 12263-46010 & 12264-46010 (if needed)

 

I would think the subframe bolts could get overlooked, from what I've read they need to be checked as they do loosen.

The fuel filter is under the car - front passsenger seat area if he can't find it. Can't remember how often it needs to be replaced though.
