Sorry he was replying to someone who asked how hard the coils were to replace so assumed he was talking about them. I'll give him a ring and see what he says
-
Or are they in an easier place to access than the spark plugs? If so I might give him a call back!

Looks like Church was right. I've just watched some videos and It's possible doing it without moving the engine but makes it hard with the amount of space. The mechanics just want to make it as easy as possible for themselves... Next time I may just have a go myself. Tbf the lad there has been brilliant since I've had my 86. He's got me £400 off my 5th and 6th services combined. Recommending I get my brakes done elsewhere because of the price they charge (probably could get in trouble for telling me that) and customer service generally has been brilliant. He's promised to do a deal so hopefully he knocks quite a bit off the labour .. we'll see

£320 I've been quoted to replace the coil pack because of the dropping of the engine to get to them... Although he said he'd do me a "deal" so hopefully get some money off. Also been told my brakes and pads are low which will cost about £700. What alternatives are there to these, any recommendations? Not looking to spend a bomb!

Tints on 😎 Anyone got any other good interior or exterior mod ideas that are fairy cheap (>£300)? Has anyone got the HT auto lip kit on?

I say new, I’ve had it almost a year now but love it just as much as the day I picked it up! Only recently started to change things. Got the smoked valentis and spent the weekend plastidipping the wheels and front lip (so much fun!) . Looking at getting the windows tinted & roof wrapped shortly. Got some alcantara on order to wrap the dash. And hopefully get the TD NA kit and Resonated exhaust before the end of the year. Any other mods (fairly cheap) you guys would recommend? Cheers! Dave

Mine's only at about 50,000 but yeah I think i'll just set aside the money I would be paying into the warranty and get the coil pack replaced once the CEL comes on again. Thanks for the help! Is it ever the spark plugs which are the issue, I have my 60,000 service next year where I know they get changed.. Or is it usually always the coil packs which cause the problems with misfires?
-
Toyota did me an awesome service plan which included the 50,000 mile and 60,000 mile service for £400!! and I've been paying monthly. Worth checking to see if your Toyota offer a similar service plan for your next two.

Brilliant thanks, might just get the one that’s failed replaced. This was the response from Toyota when asking if the Manifold, exhaust and remap would affect the warranty...”And yes unfortunately it would as the remap would change the set up, firing time and load on the engine at any given time. So if you were to install this it would be pointless doing the warranty. The exhaust would cause different degrees of exhaust backpressure, too.” 🤔🤔 Do you still think it’s worth going for the extendedtwo year warranty? I know they try to get out of paying for anything! 🙄

I've recently had the EML come on twice after redlining in 3rd. The first time I took it to a Toyota dealer who read the code and said the engine had misfired. Is it worth buying the warranty for around £400 and claiming it on there? Does anyone know the cost of replacing coil packs? I'm looking at getting the TD NA kit after this is sorted, so the warranty would be useless once I get the new manifold, exhaust and remap? Cheers

That's interesting, everyone seems to rave about the difference it makes. Is that with the Whiteline positive shift bush in too?
-
Thanks! I don't mind it a little loud, I just don't want it raspy. Without the bigger resonator does it still have a good sound to it? Also with the NA kit, I know it eliminates the torque curve and you can feel the difference lower down the rev range. Can you also feel the increase in HP higher up or is it not very noticeable?
