Shame when I went to Tilley's in the village it was closed,gutted ...next time

The idler bearing is not in use when the aircon pump is turning so any other noise from the pump in this mode they consider is not repairable. I would have thought it possible to get pump parts from a specialist but not Toyota. So Frank in my case its only noisy when the air con is on....so...

Just wondering having looked at the manual it says "CHECK THERE IS ABNORMAL METALLIC SOUND FROM THE COMPRESSOR WHEN THE A/C SWITCH IS ON.IF ABNORMAL METALLIC SOUND IS HEARD,REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY" So reading this are they referring to all parts other than the compressor or the whole...

Thanks Jon, I will price it up and probably wait till the weather improves before getting this done.

My Amazon air con is noisy when switched on . I have noticed when switched off its fine, I have checked the engine and can see what appears something connected to the belt (black plastic cover)starts to spin and straight away its noisy more so when engine is revved hard .Could this be a bearing...

could be the rear air con pipes?

Hi Paul, I think the price of the LPG makes some difference to the MPG . based on the mileage and at around 68-69ppl. I would look to achieve 455 miles for £87.50.

Very nice truck Warren same colour as mine, just wondering where you bought the front and rear bumper from?

Hi Paul, With regards to the longevity of the engine will probably depend on luck .On Auto****** you can see many petrol engine ones with high mileage. Mine has only done 69,000 when I converted it and since done about 11,000 miles so far. As for the insurance you will need to tell them about...

Hi Paul, I was the same as you before I spoke to my brother whom had a Volvo S80 bi-fuel . He suffered problems with the LPG side of things and was constantly being told by various garages to rip the system out and start again with a new LPG system, oh and it would cost thousands. Eventually...

Hi Steve, Mine is a 1999 import vx4.7 petrol and does exactly the same with a full load and will not move out of L until everyone is out ,however I've not had a full load since I had all the spheres changed. But speaking to the Toyo Guru Julian Voelcker (Overland Cruiser) the problem could be...

Hi , Yesterday went to see Martin at PLEIADES and my spheres were down 50% approx .Had them changed to recon units and all is now well. I then drove nearly 220 miles home back to Bristol and the weather was the usual washout. The car preformed excellent and immediately noticed the car was felt...

Just wondering if just changing the bulbs to the phillips /osram bulbs or the brighter blue type which i think are 80/100w will still fry to wiring ,or just let it be until this new loom has been tested. Because my LC100 lights just the normal main beam is poor in the dark.....

Thanks for all the help Toyota said the mirror plus heater and motor is one unit and is about 330 quid....I will be going to a scrap yard in the next few weeks and have a go at diy job instead....

I have just been to the local Toyota dealer and asked about this door mirror heater issue,a nice chap at service offered to have a look and checked the mirror and advised that there is no heater at the back of the mirror. So armed with the chassis number he checked with part department and...

As you think I have no heated mirrors being only 5 wires do I gain anything then by removing the glass if the wires are not at the back? :think: :think: :think: :think:

Having been in India last december and with a similiar route I can agree the roads are really bad. But this was neither about cars but just a waste of licence money. What the hell were they thinking whilst dreaming up an idea of painting a sign to promote the uk and put this sign made up of a...

Hi T Pot, I have checked and I have 5 wires to the mirror yellow,black,red,green and blue. All I need to see if there is a heater attached to the back of the mirror which is near impossible unless you have tiny fingers,
