Also any other ideas to what i can service on the car and what product to usecheersHi mate,I would say genuine toyota parts would be your best bet, toyota supply a 5 litre bottle of 10w40 motor oil For gearbox oil it will be 75w90 unless its fitted with a factory/aftermarket LSD,Genuine denso spark plugs are also worth gettingAlso a genuine oil filter,Depending on how big a service you are doing there will be things like,Fuel filterCoolantTiming belt kitBrake fluidAnd inspection of distributor cap and rotor arm as they can become worn over time and often get ignored.They would be the main items unless you are looking for anything elseHope this helpsGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave@TM-Developments.com Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 FYI Toyota do not make parts, they will be supplied by the same companies that suppy Solid and Blueprint, save your money. NGK plugs are also better and cheaperClick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NGK plugs are also better and cheaperClickFor whose information?I know toyota don't make parts that's why I said supply and not makeI agree with G, and in my opinion toyota genuine parts are far superior to blueprint etc,I am just trying to get the lad the best parts for money,Also I have never had a toyota part that doesn't fit where as I've had loads of blueprint brakes etc that are wrong and don't fitGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave@TM-Developments.com Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 All the Solid Auto parts I supply are equal to genuine Toyota and mostly made by the same manufacturers, Aisin etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Personally, fuel filter/thermostat/seals etc from toyotaevery other part is avaliable from motor factors NGK,ADL etc etc.....headgasket kits i`d only buy from toyota or federal-mogul (payen) and belts i`d buy gates (i belive toyota themselves use these guys now?)
