hi guys , just a quick question. my lj78 just hit 100000kl and t-belt light came on. Im sure it must just be a light telling you to change timing belt , mine was done about a year and half ago. when the head was done. Is there some way that i can turn of the light . Thanks for your imput.

They have a small rubber plug on the speedo glass. Remove and poke something small into the hole to reset it.

Be aware that if you reset the light it won't come up again untill another 100.000 has passed.
So if the belt was replaced at e.g 85.000 k then you should replace it at 185.000 k but the light will come on when you hit 200.000.
They should have reset the light when they swapped the belt.
So if you do so at 185.000 (example!!!) then reset the light although it's still off. Next time (at 285.000 k) it will show.
So if RHD Toyota's resets his light now at 98.000 k it will show again at 198.000.
