Toyota Dealers

Post by lund »

Question

Is there another option than having to go to Toyota for nuts and bolts???
Have just ordered 8 exhaust manifold nuts and 4 Turbo nuts and the bill will come to 35 GBP
I feel like I have just been mugged I know that the material spec is important for these parts that is why I went to toyota but there must be other options. PLEASE HELP

I went to a local fixings place when my turbo bolts worked lose.
I used heavy duty nuts and spring washers and they have held perfectly.
I did buy about 20 of each though which turned out to be a good idea as i lost most of them in the engine bay. (you'll see :lol: )

Someone else suggested asking an exhaust place for similar bolts which are crimped the same as the toyota nuts.
