It must be only certain countries that have been affected, as i havent had any problem viewing the diagrams on the Toyodiy.com site, while all along ive been reading posts from others about the issues their experiencing.
Is it only people in the US that are having these issues? Maybe Toyota USA have something to do with it?
All good down here in NZ

Exactly... Hence use a proxy to hide where you are browsing from if you're in the zone controlled by the evil empire...

Okay thanks to you two.
Wow.
Now this raises concern is it true really that the diagrams are blocked for US viewers only? Is it?
If it's so then this only confirms my suspicion that Toyota only tries to protect itself from liability. Yup. Welcome to America folks. The land of Mr. and Mrs Sue Happy.
Can you read the news that was published by the toyodiy site from December 6 2009?
Yes, and can you read where it says this...

FAQ: Q: Why do images still work for me? A: This is a caching issue. It is temporary, and mentioning it on public forums will expedite cache expiration. So don't do that.
...so just use the f'ing thing, as described a couple of posts above, and STFU about it!

The diagrams are no longer available on this site. For reasons that are beyond our comprehension, Toyota Motor Sales Inc. kept harrassing our ISP about them. It seems that they are really interested in quick profits from new car sales, so it is in their best interest that old cars fall apart asap. The progress of course cannot be stopped, and the diagrams are available on numerous other websites around the world, so we feel this change will not have any significant negative impact on Toyota DIY-ers.
