They'd lose the markup. Have a look at the price of accumulators and fluid on ebay and you'll understand. I just ordered from Japan the hydraulic distributor/valve block at 360 EUR against the 2700+VAT asked by the dealer in Italy (Germany was even more expensive)

I was watching a video on YouTube some time ago, where they were showing the replacement of the round headlights with the square type. That involved the replacement of an ECU, so I assume that whatever goes in and out of the headlight assy is fed to an ECU via non-discrete signals. If my...

I would get some spare fluid, and repeat the purge sequence

I was going to suggest that, especially if you did the initial scanning before purchasing the add-on.

It looks like you own the only Land Cruiser in Toyota's history which doesn't support the transmission temperature monitoring, or Matt is a real rookie. I vote for option #2

They are, just enough to accommodate the two washers

All, I have installed the kits on both sides today, and possibly found a better (or safer) way to put the plastics back. Instead of learning how to fly them into place doing S-shaped acrobatics, I removed the top of the door inside panel, opened the top two clips of the main panel, removed the...

Hi Matthieu, I have the same problem apparently, and was wondering if there is a lot of backflow from the hydraulic pipes once you loosen the connections, or your system got empty only due to the long time it remained open ? Thanks Fabio

I have tried to make sense of a couple of things before touching anything, especially because where I am it is not easy. If I remember well, I had read somewhere in another thread on the subject that you said something about the fact that when the ECU is dead there is no indication of the...

I think the valve is located near the pressurized reservoir fixed to the inner side of the frame rail, not a nice location to work but... However, I don't understand their quotation...on Megazip both the valve and the ECU are less than 2000 $ Also, before replacing the ECU, wouldn't you replace...

Update: a Toyota dealer in Germany looked at the problem and diagnosed a failure of a control valve and the ECU, for a total cost of 5500 EUR. The system has been on and off several times before becoming completely inactive, and I am not too sure of their conclusions. Surely I would like a...

Thanks, I will try

I have checked, and the level is as I left it, at max in N position

Hi all, SInce yesterday I am facing an issue with the AHC system on a 2009 LC200 diesel Euro version. I had replaced the globes and the fluid on this car in December, and it has performed flawlessly ever since. It never had a problem beforehand either, but the globes were bust. Yesterda, while...

Have you been flying A10s ?
