1989 2Y 1.8L Hilux Manual

Hi All

When I arrived in the Seychelles 6months ago I had the choice of a cheap old, rickety 89 Toyota Hilux or a variety of other cars. Being an owner of a 97 Hilux back home, the choice was a no brainer!!!

But, as expected, Puff (the 89) does a lot of Huffing!

I'm hoping that someone can help me track down a workshop manual for the model hilux/engine!

Many thanks

Fred

Hi Fred and welcome to the forum! :thumbup:

What is it that you need to know? AFAIK the 2Y is the same motor / block as the 4Y, just the bore size that is different. Even the head and carb looks the same. :think:

Thanks Mud Dog

Well its basically for keeping her running! The mechanics out here aren't exactly reliable. So pretty much all work and servicing will be done myself. The manuals I know are a massive help and one would do very nicely to make up the gaps in my knowledge and experience!

Thanks
