Best place for Surf parts?

[Animal Mother]

I've done some searching so please bear with me if it's already been mentioned.

I need to buy a thermostat and Rad cap for the 3.0. Where is the best place? Online or national factors (CES, Partco etc)?

[Albannach]

Buy those from Toyota, they're not expensive.

Any Toyota dealership then?

[Albannach]

Yep, any one.

[Animal Mother]

Yep, any one.

Cool, thank you.

I need them ASAP so dealer it is.

Remember most dealers want vin and model number (both are on your vin plate), so don't forget to make a note of these before you walk away from your truck.

Shall do, thanks.

Forgot to add, I have heard over the years stories about dealers not doing imports.

If you get one like this, then just try another, mine has been excellent when ever their parts are cheap enough (or in the case of stat and rad cap, important enough).

[Animal Mother]

Ok, I've tried all of the dealers in my area and I've had no luck. All need to order the parts in and the parts are costing at least £45 (for rad cap, stat and o ring).

Is there any reason not to use Roughtrax?

[TonyN]

Nope, they do genuine options on some stuff, or good aftermarket stuff.

Much cheaper than dealers too for what I want.

[Animal Mother]

Ordered from Roughtrax.

It was at least £15 chaper than dealers and will be with me 24 hours sooner. Good result, thanks chaps.
