    Headlight Main Beam Indicator

    They work great but maybe I overlooked the indocator lamp. Can't remember. Thought the garage checked it with originals already as I have them in the boot! Honestly the worst service ever. 1000 quid for an MOT. Hardly anything wrong. Absolutely spitting.

    Headlight Main Beam Indicator

    Hi Ben, Tbe car is in the garage and they wont let me go work on it. Absolute cowboys! I have installed some LED headlamps, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222431094099 , you think it could just be these causing the issue? I am pretty certain they all worked before.

    1990 4.2 1HDT Turbo Upgrade

    :shock: Thanks Dave! I shall indeed get busy over the weekend! Will it be worth my while taking off all the components mentioned (Intake pipes etc) and cleaning them with brake cleaner and resealing? Judging by the rest of the car I'm sure it has been well looked after so I am hoping there is...

    New Car - Intro and a few questions

    They seem sturdy enough, I'm going to hang all sorts off them, maybe make some beef jerky in the heat of the Scottish highlands.... I thought that too but apparently not, it has Japanese stickers throughout the inside so it most certainly is an import! It never came with a service manual...

    Swing out wheel hanger

    Hi guys, been offered an original toyota wheel carrier for 100 squids which suits me just fine as I don't want a big clunky aftermarket bumper.

    1990 4.2 1HDT Turbo Upgrade

    Yeah I have done some research and I don't think I do have an EGR. My bets are the turbo seen as it is oily.. first place to start right? Air outlet from what breather? As for the turbo outlet, you suggest I just disconnect the pipe attaching to turbo pipe to the inlet manifold? will that not...

    1990 4.2 1HDT Turbo Upgrade

    Hey guys, My turbo is a bit "moist" and it appears to be leaking oil down onto the diff casing underneath. It smokes a bit whilst driving as well so I assume it is goosed. Its only done 88000 miles but I guess I best get it sorted. I was looking to get an uprated turbo whilst it is out...

    Perfect Dave, thanks again! Can I take a live feed to the electro magnet when the engine is off to engage it and try turn it by hand. It should go solid between the inner and outer pulley right? Or wrong? Haha

    Well I had a little look into the AC issue. I got a new belt, fitted it, this time not so tight. Haha The compressor turns no problem albeit not as smooth as the larger free wheel.
