Newbie! Tsport Yaris

[JDM baby]

Hello guys! New to the forum! Picking up a 01 Tsport this week, lovely little car.....Will only be keeping it for a year tho, noticed it needs a service and new front discs. Ive found on eBay Mintex brakes and discs for around £80, are they decent brakes for the Tsport? Oil, whats the best to go for?/Brand?

Thanks!!

edit - while im at it, the gearbox oil probably be best to change also...What grade do they use?

Welcome to the forum.

The Mintex brakes will be fine for your car, £80 sounds cheap though for discs & pads.

My standard Toyota discs were about £50 each! I must have been for paying that but they work well and will last.

Oil, i'm using Castrol Edge fully synth at the mo, engine seems to like it so i do.

Not sure on the gearbox oil, i've not changed mine yet....Will do one day though.

thanks for the welcome guys! Does anyone know if Toyota recommend using Forte? I always used to use it in my Mazda at every service,

Not a flush.

Forte stuff spunds okay, bit like Redex and more. Cant see it doing any harm at all. Give it a go and let us know how you get on

It doesn't matter too much what you have as the car is so light. If they feel soft then there is a fault or they are worn.
