We live on a leeward shore with a severe Sargassum seaweed dumping problem (like 30 ft high piles being dragged out of the water and floating rafts extending 100s yards offshore at its worst). Apart from the health issues (we are moving house), the Hydrogen Sulphide gas released as it...

Just in the throes of my 2 year old non-OEM alternator failing again, so I'm taking on rebuilding the original Denso. This post is to help any others troubleshooting or rebuilding. There's a lot of stuff on the web out there, and several YouTube vids I found, which are also added as links in...

Damn missed the DT head by 2 days!! PM sent on other stuff

Same position here! Did you ever ind a solution? I cant even find anything here or on web confirming front wiper relay location or part nunber (loads about the rear wiper relay, nothing on the front). Got a fusebox fly lead on order as a temp solution to add a switch in to the circuit

on their way! i'll report back.

Ended up finding a random guy who works at local airport and does keys as a side hussle! He did the cut using a standard generic 3rd party key, and managed to get the immobiliser programming fairly easily too - although he took a lot more goes at getting the remote locking working. He pulled...

lol, we barely get warranty returns. And on an island of population 4000 I am limited to say the least on shop/store options! Any part or tool that comes in is US price, plus the US to BVI freight (air per lb, maritime per sq ft volume, plus wharfage), then plus 20% duty on the TOTAL cost of...

I urgently need to do LBJs & outer TREs (which I know are very well stuck together from breaking another puller whilst failing to separate), and then possibly LCA inner bushes at some point in future (not as critical). I've got tool selection paralysis from all the recommendations onsite and...

Dang nam it! Of course I've just found this thread after buying the 555 ball joints from I think it was cruiseryard ebay store, and was looking at other cheaper than OEM aftermarket arms to press them into. Doing the LCA bushes wasn't appealing after previous experience on my old Surf (mainly...

thank you for this - waiting for arrival now...

I'm looking at these now. The RockAuto info page looks like a set of 4 identical solenoids, with just the brackets being different. Are they confirmed stamped/identifiable as 3 different solenoids for the 4 positions?

Awesome, thank you for that!

I thought the poor range was to do with low batteries, or poor design antenna. Without having to do the whole conversion, is there a way to just extend / add to those visible coils which I assume are the receiving antennas? no visual difference between them so am surprised at difference in...

interesting - adding comment on other thread.

the guy who reprogrammed mine, did so by taking the driver lock code and programming a blank. The Wireless transmit he had a bit more trouble getting working, but managed in the end - it was a generic wireless locking key with fold-out that I have seen many times before, but with the Toyota key...
