    A/C Issues - HELP!

    Glad to hear the 17 is working. I found an technician friend of mine in a different city here in Angola who can get ahold of the seals and such for the front of my 15 style compressor. Given the cost of replacing those parts and regassing will be much cheaper and quicker than my current...

    Driving through African bush

    Well done mate! Few have ventured through the difficulties of applying for visas and such to come take in this beautiful country.

    Olazz, are you coming up through Angola?

    A/C Issues - HELP!

    SC, that is very interesting. I used to work in a Ford parts dept and remembered having reman units being sold there. I always thought that everything for the most part was either replaced or completely rebuilt. Maybe in the USA it is that way, but not elsewhere.

    A/C Issues - HELP!

    Is this the same case with all reman parts like alternators, power steering pumps, etc? For now, I'll get the one in SA. On my return to the USA, I'll make sure my old one measures up to the new ones available there so I can be sure it'll fit without any worries, and then replace it with...

    Where's the best place for LHD 80's

    Denis, Here's a link to a South African based forum I'm a part of where a guy converted his 1HZ powered Troopy to a 1HD-T engine, and then kitted it out as a serious 2 person overloading rig. He might give you some ideas...

    Key Cutting

    Update on the key cutting. Things were taking a while since my FIL made the call for the key and it still hadn't arrived in the post. He called the dealer and they informed him that Toyota NO LONGER made that key blank!!! Nice of them to forget to call back. Still, I'm not terribly disappointed...

    A/C Issues - HELP!

    Well, I decided not to risk things with buying a compressor in the USA. I'm working on getting a second hand one rebuilt in Joburg to be carried up by my buddy. It's cooling down significantly here in Namibe, so for now I don't need the A/C. Worse case scenario, I could always remove the...

    Key Cutting

    Great comments! Thanks everyone! My Father-in-law called the Toyota dealer near him and they ordered one from the VIN. Cost £64!!! :grimacing:

    Frank, do you have the part number for the complete compressor and clutch assembly? ToyoDIY doesn't. Thanks again for all your responses. I've sourced some compressors in the USA, but not sure if they'll be a perfect match or not. Also not sure if my friends can fly with an a/c compressor in...

    A/C Issues - HELP!

    The 15 designation you're speaking of, is that the '15L' on my compressor tag? Toyota DIY says this is the part# for the compressor: 88320-60630 and this for the A/C clutch: 88410-22480 Does that sound right?

    Key Cutting

    Thanks Julian. Good to hear from you. I'm not sure if they are original or not, but I would guess they are. The ignition and all door locks are the same, and the key seems to have the kind of wear you'd expect for a 21 yr old key. I'm going to see if my in-laws in Portsmouth can have a couple of...

    A/C Issues - HELP!

    Does anyone know if there is a difference in the A/C compressor's on a RHD vs LHD Cruiser or a 4.2 TD vs a 4.5 petrol, given the model year is the same? I'm looking to see if I can purchase an A/C compressor in the USA where a buddy of mine is and have him fly it back to Angola with him.

    Key Cutting

    Dave, I thought as much. I've got family in Portsmouth, UK. I'll see if they can't pop over to a Toyota dealer and get a key cut. If not, they may at least be able to get me a blank or two and then a dealer in SA or Angola may be able to cut the key.

    A/C Issues - HELP!

    Ok guys. I'll see what it looks like to import one into the country as well. I'm hoping that things work out in SA to get one from there though. It'll be much easier and faster. Angolan customs can be a real mission.
