Hi All

Can anyone let some light on this subject Iv just been informed by the new garage that new engine is in and my truck is fixed and puring like a kitten so i was in the best of moods. And then the garage turned around and aked why the engine numbers of the old engine had been ground off and left blank and that there was a swich just under the thermostat that did not work but had been araldioted to the egnine and could i get another to replace it alas he`s not to sure what the name of the swich is but it`s under the thurmostat next to a swich with a baonet fitting can anyone enlighton me as to what it is and what it is four.
Oh one more thing if you should be in Ashington / Northumbria and be in need of a mechanic DO NOT GO TO C.L. MOTERS BEHIND STATION ROAD AS HE`S WORSE THAN NAFF. im of to see a solisitor on friday as iv had enough of this blokes bull to last me a life time. I would also like to thank every one at Engine Co for there help.

Cheers

Jeeze, thats hard to read, try again and we might be able to help...


1/ Its a dodgy motor

2/ Most likely to be the electric fan switch....

Nope, now you know why the clowns glued it back together.

Dont want to look on the black side of things mate, but... when I worked for the Old Bill...... ground off enigine numbers were a good indication that it was stolen. As I recall the number could still be read by the chaps at forensics by using some sort of X ray machine. As for the broken switch, could be the sensor that turns the electric fan on.

Alright Terry ? glad to hear your new engine's been fitted, as tony says the switch your'e describing is probably the electric radiator fan switch, you really must make sure its working properly,. if you give me a call i can give you the toyota part number so you can order one, we can discuss picking up the old unit at the same time, thanks once again for your business.
Cheers, Steve
