Hilux 4x4 Forum

Hallo. I need to adjust the valves on my 2000 model 2.7 3RZ-FE engined hilux. Does anybody know where I can buy the shims? Toyota dealership cannot supply.

There is a very neat kit you can buy from electronics 123 for about R100. I used the wire to the dashboard lights to sense that the lights are on, the ACC ON for the power (if you switch off the buzzer sounds wen the lights are on) and earthed the other wire. Works lik a dream.

I tried listening to the click, but as you say there are about three, but could not pinpoint them. Behind rh kickpanel I did find a relay, but after disconnecting it the engine still started, so I supppose It does something else.

I have 2000 Hilux DC,2700i, 4x4. I bought a shop manual (the Haynes one) but there is not much about the 2700 in it, for example no diagram of the engine electronics. There is also nothing on the ABS, no torque specs for the diff pinion nuts, etc. What is the best manual on these Toyotas to buy or d...

Thanks, I will try it an see how it works

Thanks for the info. Yes on my Honda I did the same. Now i only have the fuel pump disconnected by the immobiliser. I bypassed the other two relays to avoid interference with the electronics by the immobiliser. Works fine up to date. Now where to find the immobiliser for the Hilux?

Hallo everybody. I am going to Botswana soon and I am worried about the immobiliser leaving me stranded along the way. I also have Ford Saphire 2.0 GLI and most of the times the car gave me trouble, it was the immobiliser. Luckily I found out that you just disconnect the immobiliser unit which is be...
