Re: How much should i pay for a cambelt change?
I paid £450 for a cambelt change and a full service on my tubby in 2003 at a Toyota garage in Derby. Okay, so it was a heck of a lot of money, but I would rather entrust Toyota with my car for certain work rather than try and save a few quid by going to some cheap garage underneath the railway arch...

Re: MR2 Turbo Running Costs
Estimating the running costs for a tubby isn't easy, as there are too many factors to consider. Two main ones are: 1. How you drive/treat the car 2. How the previous owner drove/treated the car My last tubby hardly cost me anything to run (apart from the obvious like insurance and petrol), with the...
