    100 series tilt and telescope steering column motors.

    Hello Jon, thank you for your very helpful step- by- step reply. I think you may be right about the dealer. They gave me the impression of being disinterested in doing anything beyond the minimum and when I asked for a wiring diagram they said it would not help since everything is in Japanese...

    100 series tilt and telescope steering column motors.

    Just got the local Toyoto dealer to replace both of these motors. I also asked them to disable the auto function which happens when inserting or removing the ignition key. When I collected the car, the new motors worked fine but they said the car (06/2001 1HD-FTE) was too old for their modern...

    Aftermarket Power steering rack

    Its outward appearance seemed to be identical, it was about the same weight or maybe slightly heavier and there were no fitting problems. I checked the quality standards of the manufacturer via the Roughtrax website and everything checked out well. Finally, rightly or wrongly, I reasoned that in...

    Aftermarket Power steering rack

    Do any members have experience of the aftermarket power steering rack for a 2001 Amazon which Milner offer? Their price is about £280 compared to the local Toyota stealership who are quoting about £1,700. Their price is very tempting but I have read some reports that suggest that the quality...

    Problem with dash warning lights

    My thanks to you all for your very helpful replies. You were right, the problem was the alternator; an exchange unit was fitted and the problem was cured. I still don't understand why ALL those warning lights came on and not just the battery charge warning light which would have given me a clue...

    44mpg from a 120?

    Depending on conditions my 100 averages 16mpg down country lanes and 29-33 mpg on a 200 mile mainly motorway run when driven at around 55-60mph.

    Can someone check please? Battery insulator box diesel.

    My diesel VX also has a twin battery set up and there are insulating sleeves around both batteries so I guess you are missing one.

    How low would you discharge a battery

    Hi Warren, it depends on the type and capacity of the batteries your using, the typical drain between charges and the lifetime you want from your batteries. Check out lifelinebatteries.com. lots of useful information and from my experience excellent batteries. In any event, I wouldn't go as low...

    Active suspesion

    I bought a set of spheres which came off a 2003 100 which had done only 26k miles and sent them to Martin for re-gassing. He confirmed they were all down about 100 psi or roughly 1/3 on what they should be. The refurbed ones are now fitted and the system has been bled and filled with new Toyo...
