£1k for all the above to be done from my nearest mr2 specialist! So thought id give most of it a go myself.
1.Best oil for gearbox
- Ive got MTF90 in the garage.
Is that ok?
2.Will use Toyota Red.
Best place to get this as my local T dealer is useless.
3.Ive heard to replace the screws for bolts and to replace washers too.
Toyota seemed very expensive for the washers.
Best place for these? Not T
4.Best place?
5.Same as 4
6.Same as 4
7.Best sealant? Im guessing I can use the same sealant for the cam cover Also will I need any gaskets for exhaust if I need to remove part of it?
8.been quoted
£207 inc vat labour from my local mechanic I use.
I have to supply parts.
Was also told its worth getting the water pump done at the same time.
Will do the coolant flush at same time so where is best place to get this too?
Sorry for so many questions!

The cam cover washers are not just washers.![]()
They are bonded rubber washers.

Get them from Toyota.

Same with cam cover gaskets.
Use a high quality sealant.e.g Wurth or Wynns.
Use cheap parts and you'll be doing the job again soon.
Toyota Forelife is not the same as any other red coolant.
Your say your dealer is useless.![]()
So they can't order parts or coolant for you?

![]()
£207 for labour for all that work?
Cambelt 5 hours, water pump extra 30 mins, sump 2 hours, cam cover 1 hour.
![]()
I suspect he has no idea of the work involved.
