Alright, I got the starter problem fixed! Starts up like a beauty!

Well done Thomas

By the way, the easiest way to post pictures is to "buy a silver star" ($20US last time I looked) and the instructions for doing so are at the top of this board page I believe.

I think it is hard for people in other parts of the world to understand just how BAD Toyota is to deal with around here.

There is a real opening for someone in this part of the world to go into business dealing in genuine Toyota Cruiser parts at reasonable prices. (If I was so-inclined I'd become an Internet-based vendor doing just that - probably based in Australia.)

...I ended up finding a wrecked Landcruiser Prado (early 90's, 2.4L 2LTE engine) that had the starter wesintl talked about (28100-54090). I switched the nose cone, which was the only bit that was significantly different and it worked! ......

Now that is interesting - Early 90s Prado!!!!! I never expected a suitable donor vehicle to be that "recent".

With the EPC and the help you get on MUD you can do amazing things Eh?

I just stumbled across this site which proves that the "84 suffix" denotes a genuine "Toyota remanufactured starter".

My guess is that few (if any) Toyota parts suppliers here even know about the existance of these factory-remanufactured starters.

(Surely that > $3000NZ quote can't have been for a remanufactured unit! --- Such a ridiculous price must have been for a NEW unit!)

cool, good find. yeah, it must have been a new unit and someone to fly over to Japan to pick it up personally
