All I did was slide the egr off of the 2 studs and grab the gasket to use as a template , ( made the plate ) then slid the gasket and the plate in place and tried to put the egr back but it just won’t line up

So a small update , I’ve managed to get the egr valve off at the top end ( I could get a ratchet behind there ) fabricated a plate but now no matter how hard I try I cannot get the egr to go back onto the 2 studs , I’m wondering if anyone else had this and has found a solution

Now the hardest thing is trying to find a set of 6point ring spanner’s , can’t find them anywhere lol

Thankyou

I wonder if anyone here would happen to know the dimensions of a blanking plate for a 1997 1kz-te Colorado egr valve , I can’t seem to find them anywhere, I know that I can buy them but I’d rather make my own and am not sure the dimensions, thanks

Yh I think 80 series wheels are the way to go , for some reason apparently because of my age if I add a body lift insurance will hammer me

Can I remove the need for offset change ( new rims ) with wheel spacers ?

If I want to fit 285 is the width of the stock rim ok though ? Or if I get new ones do I need wider ones

Here we go again lol , I was just wondering if I could get some “ dumbed down “ answers as I’ve scoured the internet and am just about ready to kiss a wall with my forehead ‘ ( all on standard rims ) Question 1- 265/75/16 or 285/75/16 Question 2- can 285/75s be fitted to standard rims? Question...

Sometime my genius … it creates gravity , however not this time , after inspecting the key it is indeed bent , never noticed it before but there ya go , ended up getting annoyed and drilled the old lock out so that I could jam the steering lock off and use it , then made a “new” ignition out of...

Hi I’m wondering if anyone could tell me what this wire connected to the ignition switch is and what it does , I’ve just got my 90 passed it’s mot after 3 months off the road changing a clutch , rebuilding the rear axle and lifting it only for it to ( after driving it twice !!!!) jam the key up...

Update … success

Yh I’ve got replacement shocks so I think that ole mr angle grinder is getting fed tomorrow

I got the right side one off ok , but the left seems to have less room to swing the spanner for lack of a better word , and I can’t stop it from spinning

Thankyou I’ll give it a go

Just a thought before I fetch the angry spiny machine , does anyone know an easy ish way to undo the top nuts on the rear shocks of a 90 ? It just keeps spinning and I can’t get a ratchet in there

Brilliant thankyou , now I gotta wait for my bank account to catch up to my plans

I’m currently on apprenticeship wage (5.67 an hour ) so no money is an understatement, and as far as I know the suspension is all original so older than me so I think 80’s wheels and new shocks and springs is the way to go , I do however want to lift it in the future what’s a realistic height to...

I didn’t know that would help but will do that as it’s up for renewal in a month or so , yh everyone said I should have got a fiesta or something , nah can’t be doing that , so the best thing to do would be look at different offset wheels or spacers

I currently have fitted what I believe to be the “ stock/standard” wheels I kind of get the whole offset thing so I think they have a negative offset ( may have got it wrong ) I’ll see if I can find a picture with the wheels in the goal is have wide more aggressive but call me a Mong I’m hoping...

They all look brilliant in that chat , I feel like mine looks … “saggy “ for lack of a better word

Hi , I’m looking for someone who know what their doing as I’ve come up against a roadblock , I will fully admit I’m only 19 and have a long way to go before I’m confident in doing things on my own , I’ve had my 1997 prado 90 for about a year now and am looking to lift it and fit bigger tyres , I...
