Hilux 4x4 Forum

Thanks for the reply Scott. Can you expand on "tap/alan key/youtube"? I've tried searching youtube but must be searching / finding the wrong results. The garages around here are so bad that if I bring it in for anything, I'll be taking it in again for 4 more new problems over the next week...

Thanks Mud Dog. Going to see what I can do this morning.

Interesting about the Coca cola, thanks. I have doubts I can find a screw extractor here (it took me 30 minutes earlier today just to find a deep 12mm socket). But, conveniently the broken part of the heating elements that I can see is hollow, and I did manage to screw into one of them. I haven't tr...

Thanks for the great welcome! I've just been lurking around a bit on the forum when I have had time.

I finally posted a few pictures today in the pictures forum...

Have a good weekend!

Hi folks, this is my 1998 (as far as I can tell!) Hilux with the 2.4l 2l-t. I bought it about 3 weeks ago, and have spent more time fixing it than playing so far... But I think most of the work is done now. For now. ;)

The other two are my wife and my dog ;).

Cheers
