Hi, I would like an advice. I am considering a LC 78 5 door wagon, 4 cylinders, petrol, naturally aspirated engine with carburetor. 310,000 km on the odometer. Do you lnow what I should look at in particular? Any weak point? Best

AaKnight, thanks for this. Best,

Okay, but how? I have tried to undo the knob like for the choke's knob but apart from being rock hard and unwilling to move, it has given me a sort of feeling to be on the point of breaking if I had pushed it a bit more

Here nearly 300k miles (500k Kms) on the original engine.

Can one remove just the black plastic knob so that the entire cilinder can move inwards ans free the lower instrument panel, without havinfg to disconnect the wire etc.? In other words, like the choke Best

CenTXFj60, 4Cruisers and Jaggernaught, all most helpful. thanks! Firewall bolts removed in a few minutes. Great tip that of placing two tenporary longer bolts in view of reinstallation. Thank you! Now, in possible a little help more with the hand throttle knob and wire. Has anyone any tip on...

Thank you. I will have a try at it tonight.

Any other good soul out there with the knowledge on how to remove the hand accelerator knob in order to free the metal lower instrument panel?

Thanks. No, my questions are: 1) what is the procedure for removing the manual accelerator? Should I just turn the knob like a screw, like the chocke? Or is it the bolt right behind it? 2) How one gets access to those nuts below the hazard switch? Best,

I mean ... and the two bolts which are just above the hazard switch.

Hello mates. Could anyone give me a hint on how to remove the lower metal cluster? Okay, so far I have managed to take out all the nuts on both ends, but I am struggling on how to remove the manual accelerator (right side of the steering wheel) and the two bolts and are just above the hazard...
