Part is about £109 only from Toyota, and is about an hours Labout to fit.

Dunno, ?1750 sounds a little much to me as well, aircon will be silly money to fix, turbo is gonna be tired with that kinda mileage, clunk under de-celeration on a 4wd Jap sports car, thats gonna be expensive whatever it is! Although, they are an awesome car and i've always wanted one :) I woulda probly done the heart over head thing as well :)

Hasn't got the same "Woosh, Ohmygod...." factor of the Saab, but the seats seem to suit me better, and it is loverly and smooth. Tax until end of December, MOT until june, no body damage, no rust, paint good except looks like a couple of supermarket carpark scrape type scratches, nothing serious.
Dives great, but a little play (slight clonk, not big thud) at the rear on deceleration.
Still still has the Toyota "For Life" bright red coolant. Going to change all the other fluids over the next couple of weeks as I get used to it. Makes full boost as it should.
Has a Thatcham cat 1 alarm and imobiliser, with the certificate. Nothing messed with original 15" wheels, near new P7000's all round, full bunch of paper work from the 1st "Toyota approved used buyer" pdi check, right through to the last service. Only problems are, cloth interior, and aircon doesn't work (well winters near here, so I'll get some one to have a look as it looks like the fuse has been pulled as the switch doesn't work).
H plate Celica GT4 4x4 turbo 137k miles, very near full service history. Any guesses to how much? He was selling it a few weeks ago for ?2300 but was getting messed arround. Had it advertised at ?2000 to move it.
a)?2k as he won't budge after dropping ?300 to resell? b)?1900 because I was local and had cash? c)?1750 because I am the next Mike Brewer, and he was a BMW owning sucker who needed his drive back, and a 330 Coupe can't be cheap to have parked on the road?
Prace bets now.....
