    No mate, 4wd was not engaged, was just an example of how without weight in the back the hilux is no better than a Skoda in 2wd…. Just a bit of humour really

    a lot of warning lights

    As the others have said, usually alternator related, mine lit up like a Xmas tree after being a bit over enthusiastic with the power washer under the bonnet, blew the alt out with the airline and flooded it with WD40 and all was well…. Just check for water ingress first

    Heated seats

    If the truck was not fitted with heated seats as standard, I’d try and get hold of a drivers seat from a breakers, with most landcruisers, the wiring should be there as part of the loom they chuck in all 120s, check under the seats and the plastics between the two front seats, chances are the...

    Fuse.(why)???

    Thanks Flint, on even closer inspection, turns out the sticker in the lid of the fuse box was all back to front and upside down, and it was the fuse marked Gauges, so still non the wiser why it would take out the windows, alternator, air con, fan blower, temp gauge, rev counter… any hoo new fuse...

    Fuse.(why)???

    Yeh the only thing I could find when I googled it was some kind of earth continuity protection, that was the only link to ECD… or it might have said ECP, (didn’t have me glasses on)…. Thanks for the info Dave

    Fuse.(why)???

    Thanks Dave, however on close inspection found a tiny 15 amp fuse marked ECD, that had blown, replaced it and now everything is back to normal for the time being, and got 14.5 reading on the multimeter on both batteries.. so alternator is ok .. now have to find out what the hell ECD is and does…...

    My 1990 High Roof 60

    Yeh Iv been lurking about in the background, not sure if I’m allowed to be here now I’m a hilux man… weird tho when I’m in the hilux the interior is not that dissimilar to the old 80… ripped tatty and things falling off and the knocking tapping under powered engine will always remind me of the 120..
