big price from toyota

[JUDWAK]

i just odered a new rad for the surf
had the reconed ones
had the seconnd hand ones
had 2 types of cheaper rads
all blown and this is over 5 years
new i thought was time to try a new gen rad from toyota

i get discout from them too they are very good with me and the list of part i need are all way there when i need then

mark at toyota who is a very nice guy with loads of brians about cars
just told me the price

i dare not say this



£375 quid for a new rad including VAT
iam left with no option but to try it coz i have tryed all the others options

i have been stung a few time with the price of a gen parts but i think this has got to be the worst yet

it better have a long garantee with it for that price
coz i blow rads like i blow my nose

so be warned toyota make good parts but charge the earth for them too

wow

that is a bit.........

well hope it works for u.....

[Sancho]

I thought you were supposed to be a Yorkshireman, George. I wish I had that kind of money to chuck at a radiator that I had every intention of destroying.

[Apache]

I never understand the 'intention of destroying' bit.

So many people on here claim to be on their uppers, yet like nothing more than smashing up their transport. You gotta wonder...

[yoshie]

£375 for rad.For a 14yr old truck worth what a grand max.
Your daft no other thing to say.

[blackpoolsparks]

I dont get it.
Why do you keep blowing rads?
There must be another underlying problem, or have I missed a thread somewhere along the line.

I did the same thing to 3 rads in a BMW, problem was not radiator or my bleeding technique, it was a crack in the head.

[Apache]

was not radiator or my bleeding technique

Maybe it was your bleeding driving style?

[blackpoolsparks]

LOL

Im suprised Yoshies not replied to this yet.
He bought the BMW and subsequently found the problem

I'd agree with that deduction, unless, of course, Jud means bashing instead of blowing.

[TobyJug]

I think he just means bashing.....


I like to keep mine in one piece...

well after the re-build that is gonna separate her first.....

[JUDWAK]

dudes i like driving
my car is worth more than a grand (not to you or i)
i know but you would not beleave what i get offered for my surf (long story)

and i am a full blooded yorkshire man
its just all my life i have collected lots of valueble things

now iam ill i am willing to sell them a bit at a time (coz i love my collection)
to pay to have funn coz i need that right now in my life
and i have worked since i was 8 years old so its time now to have some funn
i hate money to a deegree i like to have a bit to live on but not too much to start giving ya head haik
coz too much money burns ya head out
i have a very rich farther (who i dont ask for nothing from)
and i see how its killing him now to have all that he has got
its too much for him now my brother is a gob shite and runns his life and finances and doing a very good job of fluffing it all up
i never get involed coz he never likes what i have to say
and has you all know my temper can get the best of me so i stay clear unless my farther asked me to do something

my life learnt me its too sort to keep hold of money and goods of value
coz i have no kids just a wife (who works) and house to keep


its my driving style with out question that keeps killing my surf
i do it coz i can drive that way have done since i was 10 years old
and enjoy it more now than i ever did excpt i did do it in a jcb
i do have every intention of destroying my car but its at my own cost
i get skint like any one else i just sell something i know other collectors that would kill for some of my collection

dont worry my farther thinks i am a nut job too
but he know what i do in my surf
you lot only know the half of it

[Apache]
