Replaced rear/right/outer brake light as I smashed mine reversing. New one doesn't fit quite so well and sticks out a little, maybe 6mm from the car at the bottom pin, top pin flush and fine. Conscious not to force it too much as I don't want to break the tabs the pins go it (or snap the pins...

Lower control arms seems to be mentioned in relation to the thud sound. Doesn't seem to get worse but it's a heavy thud sound and it's not suggesting that everything is fine. Trying to avoid (much) extra cost and I've got the car booked in to get a new stereo fitted tomorrow. Next work is...

Argh... Found one on Amazon. After a week they email to say they don't have the part and refunded me.

I get this too but only if I'm less than careful on the throttle. If I'm smooth then I don't get the thud sound. But definitely when moving from a forward gear to a reverse and back. Can't avoid the sound. I've had the driveshaft re-greased and it made no significant improvement so next stop...

Not done in 22 years? Wow! I thought it was every 150,00km (what's that, 90,000 miles or so?) I guess that makes me panic a little less wondering if mines imminently about to crap itself. But it's another job on the list of future jobs. That and heater Tees (yeah I know I know hehe)

I don't think there are other variants. Pre 2002 has two connectors on as pictured below but this is the one I need. I just can't find a cheap aftermarket version only the one with two connectors.... Or the single connector but 7 or 8 times the price I willing to pay (at this point!!!)

Been trying to find an aftermarket replacement drivers side window switch assembly. Mine has a single connector (100 Series uzj 2004). Switches on mine are very iffy - goes full down or full up but stopping halfway is a total lottery. Now it seems earlier models had TWO connectors on the window...

Just treated myself to a new head unit and reverse camera as the store had 30% off.... Getting installed in a couple of weeks as I'm time poor and don't want a new installed head unit to be done badly - I'd end up with wires everywhere. Looking into some brass heater T's which seem reasonably...

Just had a similar issue. Battery light was coming on and going off, intermittently. Mechanic did battery and alt test. Alt passed, battery flagged as 53% health. I swapped out a new battery. 2 days later the light comes on, goes off. Mechanic did another check. Said +ve terminal on alt had a...

My brakes are definitely iffy. Sometimes they work and I can feel the ABS wobble Sometimes I'm pressing brake and it's like they're super wet and cold and take a while to bite - they do slow me but not like I could jam the pedal on and stop on a dime - guess nearly 2.5 tonne aint gonna stopm...

Got the truck bogged. Proper bogged. As in, rear wheels off ground and space under them to move your hand through. Water over the headlights. Easy recovery but woke this morning to find front passenger side flat tyre and no obvious protrusions. Swapped with the spare and will get sorted...

Yes - one came up a couple of weeks back but when he got it out, it had 2 connectors, not the single one I'm looking for. I'm off work on Weds this week so I'll hit up a couple more and see if there's anything. TBH I'd be happy with a $50 repro if it just had the single connector. It's so...

G'day! Waves from Western Australia

Hey legends I'm trying to replace my drivers side window switches. (2004 UZJ100r) My switches just have one connector. Yet everything I'm finding under $100 seems to have two connectors on the switch panel. I even ordered one of eBay that showed a single connector in the pic, but the one that...

Appreciate the reply I had the steering rack replaced maybe 1 or 2 weeks prior to this issue. I guess it's possible a cable or cables have been inadvertently damaged. I'm no expert but it works off and on which to me suggests something loose and while driving it's completing contact then...
