Hi all Tried searching to no avail. Are the factory front bumpers interchangeable between the LX and LC . I understand the grill on the LX is part of the bonnet but can’t see how that affects a factory plastic bumper which is straight cut Anyone know the answer to this

Thanks mate, ill try get some more data and ill see how the IGN timing changes under load. Also the throttle pos sensor as vehicle just seems underpowered at the moment

Hi all looking for ideas. I can get techstream to read and recognize the LX470 (Virtual box windows XP version of TS) but it wont recognize the 200 series ECU (VDJ model) It brings up the box in the connection wizard to manually select vehicle but does not auto recognise and wont manually...

Hi all A slightly unusual one here, ive got TIS up and running for the first time and wanted to find out if the readings took into account the settings from the unichip. I would assume so as its merely telling the ECU what to do. Firstly a bit of background... I have the unichip as lexus Aus...

Interesting what is going on there. I thought my program was bad too, the double click on the FOB to unlock is really annoying. I tried to get a locksmith to reprogram our FOB plus program a new spare key and they couldn't do it through the remote and they were baffled. I would suggest just...

Thanks got it ! Plugs were pretty fouled but not much fuel in there surprisingly. The culprit was a split wire at the ECU where the Unichip is spliced in 🙄

I’ve tried both the efi fuse and the relay and same result no crank just starter whining

I’ve done this but I don’t hear the cranking , just the starter motor winding up

Hi all My LX470 has been flooded , no not water , I suspect the spark plugs have fouled with too much fuel due to excessive attempts to start I’m going to be pulling the plugs today when I get a chance but my question is , will whacking need plugs straight in fix this or do the cylinders need...

same boat mate :-D

Edit** disregard this -----> Do you mean the bumper plate behind the actual plastic bumper requires cutting? If so those who wish to switch from bull bars would need to find the plate again Just read the above responses

No i have mid spec model here, so standard Centre console. Im thinking freon pressures are wrong (probably overcharged ) but very hard to get in at short notice to mechanics where i live. Its a mining region so they get inundated with toyotas daily

Howdie all 2008 VDJ 200 , just purchased and sorting out a few PO gremlins. 1) - Fault code for servo motor reset as had no AC vent pressure except out the footwells. An interesting point for the older models is they can also experience the same fault as the newer models which i understand in...

Hoping there are some combustion experts on here that can answer this . If you are running a lean tune will a regular (factory) spark gap be too small to combust a leaned out mixture especially if the temperature is cold ie "cold start" ?

judging by the look it was recently put in and just overfilled a bit. If thats from an overnight sit, then i would drain about 500mls/17oz or so but nothing to be too concerned with
