    Brenda The Devastator (Cont.)

    How many miles on the belt? Was it Toyota supplied? Looks like the camshaft has seized thus stripping the teeth off the belt? Be very interested in what you find. My condolences.

    Help! - Mangled Locking Wheel Nut. Any Tips?

    I don't think it necessary to remove the spinning tin tube from the locking nut. Hammering the extractor on would soon chew through that to the head of the bolt. Not sure if the extractor would chew into Toyota locking wheel nuts. They may well be hardened.

    Milners or Pedders standard springs?

    I am wondering if the correct springs lengths are in the WSM as a copy may have sagged a bit.

    Rear locker actuator removal

    I claimed for a new rear act for my 100 due to corrosion. The wiring looked different to that on my 80.

    Milners or Pedders standard springs?

    Back in the day (70's) a firm in West Bromwich used to make my springs for me. They just needed a pattern. About £6 each. I wonder if such firms are still about.

    Rust Repairs and Respray

    There was no sealer on mine. 1995 3 years old and one previous owner. Perhaps later models were sealed as in later windscreens?

    80-Series - No forward drive

    The centre dif prevents wind up re front and rear axles. The VC runs in parallel with the centre dif so if it detects front axle going faster than rear it locks up so drive is restored to the front until a normal patch of road is reached and the VC disconnects. Works the other way round as well...

    Anyone else had issues with their Pedders 2" setup?

    It's a relief to find something that's been bugging you even if it reveals a difficult job.

    Anyone else had issues with their Pedders 2" setup?

    Sitting in the luggage compartment might help. Be interested to know. Gearbox mountings OK?

    Odd MOT argument today

    Surely he was referring to "high beam warning light"? Be good to see what he has written on his report. He fills in a tick box report and cant see why there would be a box referring to dipped beam warning light.
