srevicing an st202.what to do first

[mart77]

my celica has done 131000 miles.i've done 18000 miles since i've had it.i've never done anything to it in 2 years.what do i need to do as far as servicing it?obviously i know i need to change the oil and the oil filter but what else should i do?your views would be appreciated.thnx

[bint]

Air filter, fuel filter, plugs, suspension check (wishbones etc), and cambelt (TBH car may be worth less than cost of replacing this - but get it checked if you don't know when it was replaced), but it'll be mainly fine - you'll see!

[mart77]

ah thnx for the info.any ideas how much these all cost?should i change the coolant too?

[mart77]

i just got a quote for the work.the mechanic said it would be 90 pounds +the cost of the belt for the cambelt and 90 pounds for the service+parts.is that a good price?

[TotalControl]

Thats not bad. Mine was about the same. Belt kit didn't cost me much from Allparts either.

[mart77]

how much did you pay for the belt kit mate?

[bint]

That's a good price - it's the labour that will always sting anyway.

sound.i'll go with him then.he's a guy i trust and i've always had him do stuff to my cars.is that an st205 in your pic bint?

[TotalControl]

Sorry mart, I actually can't remember how much I paid exactly. I had a load of other stuff that needed purchasing as well so got it all done in one go.

Nope, that's the old ST - the GT4 looks like this;



Currently sat in the garage nice and warm and well overdue a run - she's only been out once (to get MOT done - sailed through) since August last year!

She may be up for sale if any enthusiasts who are after a top notch car are interested.....

[mart77]

how much are you asking for it?milage?looks a nice motor

[bint]

Speaking for him indoors, I don't think he should let it go for less than £4500 - yes it's slightly above average market rates, but IMHO it's in damn good nick.

Approx 65K miles, full service - good indy specialists - no stupid mods to the engine or bodywork, only a sensibly set up suspension, (all re built from ground up so no worries about fig 8s etc needing doing), uprated pads, discs, lines (fensports braided hose), air filter, superleggra alloys, TRD dump valve and only body mod - TRD corner splitters, turbo timer, short shifter and possibly other things I've missed....

11 month MOT left and 6 months tax.

Garaged and is a 2nd car, weekends and summer use generally.

Send Mr E a PM if you're interested, he wants to buy something silly...
