I didn't bother removing the seat, central console thing came out though. And as my countryman above says, some spacers help tighten everything up, I used oversized nuts threaded over the cable to effectively shorten it.

Yes, new cable, new everything pretty much except for the hubs. All OEM Toyota from Partsouq, except for the spring kit which was Karsons:

2 major points of failure are the bell cranks - steel part in an alloy casing gets all metallurgical and seize: Also, the equaliser can seize which means you're only getting braking to one wheel I rebuilt my entire hand brake / ebrake with all new genuine parts, adjusted as per manual, and...

I have a TVSS IIIB manual if you want it, but it's for RHD cars - DM me

Not many left. They mostly died on crofts and farms

I test drove a couple of 100's before I bought my 80. They left me utterly underwhelmed. Just got no feels for the vehicle. First time I saw my 80 I was certain that I had to buy it

So to update this, I ended up getting a VW EV as a company car on a stupidly cheap lease. They're basically giving them away Am keeping the 80 series as an RV, fun car and garage queen. All the enthusiasm I'm getting from you guys about a rental camper is intriguing, and I may well sort that...

Just assembled the parts required to change the lot. Mostly Febest rubbers and Toyota fixings. Just got to wait for the truck to come back from welding

Apologies if this has already been covered, I did search for it I love my 80 Series, I really do, but I think the wife is getting a bit fed up of it's more agricultural attributes and I need to get something a bit more modern as a daily driver. I'm also a bit sick of fixing it, and parts...

I'm swapping my cats to an aftermarket Jetex unit, there's loads of room under there and I've bought a 5" 200 cell high flow unit. Not had it fitted it yet but not anticipating any problems If you're running lean you could have an exhaust leak upstream of the sensor...

Bearing was squealing on the back and diff oil pissed out when I slackened off the flanges. Inspected the bearings and they seemed good, probably just needed new seals and repacked with grease, but installed new bearings and races anyway Am I the only one who just swaps in new parts as policy...

Denso is OEM as far as I know

Well Partsouq had them listed for a '97 The attachment points look the same for these ones, but they're a lot taller than the ones I took off with the runner board cutouts. I think I'll buy them and give them a go P/N's 7660460021 7660360021

I would systematically go over all of my earths, clean them and renew as needed I'm not saying that's your problem, but that's where I would start

If you find some please supply the part number. My attachments are just like yours. I bought 76603-60030 / 76604-60030 and they're not even nearly right
