Rad Cap & stat

[tintin]

Is there a huge difference in quality between what roughtrax and milners offer????
Roughtrax Cap £7 Stat £15.75
Milners Cap £5 Stat £7.50

I need a load of bits for a major service/sort out so i was comparing the two for prices, I already know roughtrax has brilliant delivery and customer service, so are there major differences in the product

Anywhere else i should be checking for prices????

Heres the list i'm working to at present......

Front brake pads
Rear shoes
Brake fluid
Engine oil
oil filter
fuel filter
air filter
rad cap
stat
red coolant
braided brake hoses
extended diff breathers
replacement grease nipples
front shocks
rear shocks
LC springs
BJ spacers
FW hubs
Alternator / ac belts
Glow plugs
Rad top hose



All help gratefully accepted.

the Roughtrax stat i believe is a genuine Toyota part.

When it comes to something like that i'd go with Roughtrax all the way.

Cheers Ian, who are Blueprint?

Is this the braided brake hoses i need? bare in mind i only intend to do them because the lift is on for the summer, so as i'm doing front and back brakes and fluid it makes sense!

I've lost my mechanical Guru to his new job, so i'm going to have to fly solo and get a lot done next weekend.
Do i need new bits for the ATF sump (gasket or bolt & washer or anyting) and how muh ATF fluid should i get. (needs changing as its brown)

Thanks mate

Not sure they were too short for my first gen .....you will need to speak to barry

cannot rember how much atf fluid and the atf sump needs instant gasket if you are removing and cleaning the filter if not just a plug and washer

Managed to get the use of my mates local workshop for tomorow, so priority job is new pads, new shoes, extended braided brake hoses and new fluid.
If i get time i'll replace the ATF fluid too.

Any tips from those who have done these jobs would be graetly appreciated!
