Where to buy service parts?

Post by dannyboolahlah »

Where do people usually get service bits for their MR2s? I worked out the other day that my Rev 4 N/A had been returning 23.4mpg so think a service may be in order :O
Cambelt isn't due, but I plan on doing pretty much everything else.

Oil/filter
Fuel filter
Clean K&N
Spark plugs
Ignition leads
Distributor?

All my past cars have had distributor-less ignition, so I don't know what I need to renew.

I've looked at camskill and a couple of other places, but they seem very expensive. Is £80 for leads normal??

I always buy my service parts such as fuel/oil filter, dizzy cap etc from mr2-Ben.co.uk and I get my plugs from jp4mance.com hope this helps :th:

Oil filter from Toyota main dealers... it's only a tenner so might as well fit the real deal there :th:

Leads are around £80 from most places. I got my last lot of oil & filter from halfords pretty cheaply.

Yeah I've already got oil and filter from halfords as they were on offer when I was last in there.
£80 leads seems a bit much :O last set I bought were about £20!!
Ill pay it of that's what they cost, but didn't realise they were so much!

Tcb parts, camskill and the local toyota dealer is who I'd use.
Even with 20% off at the dealer tcb sell some parts cheaper or the same price (for genuine parts obv.)with swift delivery

For filters its always wise to go down to Toyota for them, you can get genuine ones on ebay too, other than that I usually use importcarparts.com they've helped me out in many of quick dispatches, very reliable made in japan parts too
