  1. Yes, without the tubeless valves.
  2. From a safety point, why not consider installing inner tubes on your rims?
  3. Inorder to have a problem free engine change the timing kit.now.!
  4. You've answrd your self.there's a short in the wiring circuit to the cig lighter.Refer your car to an auto electritian,.. Could be due to over loading of the circuit.
  5. Any idea when the last service was done?/ prob not since it was made. try lubricating the cable selector under the gear stick.
  6. Is't it time you changed the plugs?
  7. Like Davy mentioned, get a second openion and post a vid of your engine runing. Taking into account that the car is over a quarter of a century old, a full tear down and re build may be needed to get rid of the knocks and was it you who mentionred of a smoking prob.? As our car odo meters have been knownto run back every time they change owners, your milage showing150k would have been passed decades ago. TT p.s, on a non related topic, check th operation of your cooliing fans.- common failiure in your model.
  8. Q: IS the engine burning or leaking oil.? Put an old news paper under the engine over night afer a drive. If there's a leak you'll find oil on the paper.
  9. Better late than never, so change it
  10. Keep in mind that you'll be getting more cars later and act wisely. apart from the purchase price, You'll need insurance, Some gen maintenance, tyres, and that honking great car stereo that'll rock the hood.
  11. Get your electrical system checked starting with your heat meter.
  12. Add a fuel system cleaner to the tank.
  13. You should have changed the spark plugs.Prob the cause of your rough running from the begining. It is also worth getting the injectors and indition systems looked at since they also can be traced as mis-fire/ rough run causers. Coul the vibe be caused from the breakes? you might want to consider changing the atf before the transmission throws a fit.
  14. Cheers bro, wish you cool runnings,.. TT.
  15. The sensor which triggers the fan relay. and also clean the rad fins from any thing which may block the flow of air through it.
  16. Replase the thermo switch
  17. Twin Turbo

    Damaged tire

    That structural wakness will remain no matter how it's repaired,..
  18. Taking into account the bad reputation your car has in the realm of transmission reliability,(pls referprev posts in sub0 It is beneficial to do a fluid & filter change sooner than later when you really do have probs. Don't think any one other than the agent stocks the stuff , higher cost due to it been branded toyota and it being fully synthetic Besides, it's way cheaper than replacing the transmission.And changing the transmisson fluid has shown to have an increase in performance as ATFchemically breaks down with time and exposure to heat etc
  19. Aqlso you might have to use the existing compressor as the thing comes directly fitted to the b lock in the 2C engine Even if someone manages to plug a bigger unit, the load will overwhelm the engine with the A/c on.
  20. 1.Maqintenance history is vital,.. when buying any car . Does your car's milage meter/speedo still work,..\As this model suffers from their faiiliure which most owners ignore and yes your car has a T belt with a change interval of 60k miles/5 years. 2.Is the A/c cooling well? as repairs will need specialist attention which is not cheap. 3.Front suspension - noisy means big bills as the ball joints come built into the lower arms and have to be replaced complete
  21. Don't drive with an over heating condition as it can lead to big head aches,.. TT.
  22. Get in touch with a good garage,. with a little bit of work it is possible. A dash complete with the a/c evap box and duct work is needed and the brake fluid bottle newer modles have an electronic pickup for the speedo meter. The dual fan condensor may not fit in your van, take a tape measur and finda compatible unit . the interior unit will depend on your van'sroof ( if it's a high roof or a normal one) Apart from the duel A/c con version , you'll also need an alternator upgrade,..
  23. What ever you buy, it is advisable to get a pro's openion on the thing.As most conversions are a diesel engine in place of a petrol and the fuel filter.pl simple wiring upgrades
  24. What's it doin on the top of the list? A warp in the space-time continuam perhaps?
  25. Call an auto electrical mobile service your battery is not charging.,
