Same here Stu, loads of jobs, loads of rain. I've got one job on the 120 that has water ingress, bottom moulding each side of rear cargo area. Got the parts from Amayama and windows still taped up Not even thinking about removing glass yet.

No dipstick on these auto transmission (oddly) and the expensive item inside the transmission sump is a strainer, rather than any replaceble filter.

Try using the bleed screw on top of expansion tank near filler cap and top up if neccessary.

Agree. Sounds like you had a laugh along the way - obviously not much swearing to put her off ! A good help when the helper is in front re-organising kit as you put it down to pick up another tool or hand them to you. I had a company apprentice with me once, that was so interested he knew what...

Laid out like a surgeons kit Sam, perfect ! Ive started out like that with jobs that soon descend into chaos tool wise. I do try to put sockets back into case and screwdrivers and different spanners with their like, but still take sorting when I want one. You didnt list a BFH, but considering...

Not as a 'norm whatever that is. Although I have never had trouble with one, they can on the odd occasion play up. I have, as others, given it a very gentle clean. I used switch cleaner as I didnt have specific stuff, and cotton buds on the small elongated bulb that is the sensor inside. Very...

That's the one.

Yep, works for me.

Karl2000 has them too. Make sure you get the high rise and not the low. The high rise give about the same as the metal 7" ? Which is loads when your under a cruiser on a creeper. The low ones at about half will give you little advantage, so worth spending the extra.

Standard metal ones are narrow and need very careful manouvering, not something I'd want to do with all 4 at a time, 2 is enough, even with my modest standard 265 65 17 tyres. I've had a pair of the standard metal ones for years, now redundant, and when I say plastic ramps, there must be more to...

That's extra !

Drive up on 4 extra wide plastic type ramps well within the weight limit. Belt and braces axle stands being moved around to suit work.

Don't know, but would have thought that all the 120's maybe prior to Invincibles would have the same radiator ? If they went by your vin number which would identify year, then that's possibly why they said out of production. Toyota frequently change/update part numbers, so a possibility why they...

Well done Sam (and wife) and it does start which is a good sign Alignment ??? Yep, I would do the 4 all at once regardless, it's all very well cutting corners on cost, but once done, they are all in there from the same date/mileage. Otherwise (time unknown) replacing individuals, you could be...

Everywhere you turn there are examples like this - idiots running companies with idiot employees who are clueless in the day to day running of a proper buisness and don't care.
