How about erstwhile response no.6 to all Newbies?

"I think it's MTBilly, ban him!"

Only kidding, welcome mate - shame you bought the wrong colour though

Right, i took the air cleaning system off, and the reason the lights weren't working is because the last owner didn't connect the earth!! BUT... now my problem is now that the fan unit of the system isn't working. the fan works when i battey is connected strait to the fan (diverting the circuit) but not when its all hooked up through the circuit, as it is originally. I've looked at the circuit boards, switches and wires, nothing seems to be scorched or out of place, and the fuse is fine. Its starting to get on my nerves now, so please help if someone has this system

Its called "Clean-Ace" by toyota.

sorry if this is in the wrong section??

Also, another question is that of the spot lights on the front stainless bull bars, they're not connected, but not wired in as they are just hanging out of the back of the lights. Can anyone help me with where to wire them in and which lights to hook them up to? i've got a fog light switch, which with the lights on lights up, so maybe i could connect it to that??

Sorry for all the questions guys!

Thanks for the help again guys,

Joe.

Hello and welcome

You can connect your front fog lights to the switch, but just check to see if that switch isn't running your rear fog light too. It can still be used, but when you flip the switch both front and rear fogs lights will come on. So you won't have control over that.

Thanks alot mate, i'll have a look later on and see what i can do..

As for the "Clean-Ace" problem, any answers? No worries if not.

Cheers again,
Joe.

Just thought i'd say hello to everyone as i'm new on here.

I've just bought my first Hilux today, and i'm just learning the way of the 4x4.

Its a K reg dark green toyota hilux surf, 2.4 TD. in resonable condition when i bought it, its done 96,000 miles, drives lovely and doesn't seem to have any dodgy/strange noises from it at all! I've wanted one for so long, and this one popped up a few days ago for sale where i live (Isle of Wight) and finally plucked up the courage to take a look at it. it needed a good clean, hoover and polish, now looks beautiful.

The only little bits that are a bit dull is just the rear chrome bumper, has a few spots of surface rust which i plan to change or repair, and only a few small bits on the paint work just need a small blow over. Tyres are brilliant, really nice BK racing alloys and great service history.

I'll get a few pictures up soon, when it stops raining...

anyway, hope everyone's okay.

Joe

This was my problem when i had it so its not the last owner who didnt connect it up! I asked on here when i first got her and no-one knew the answer, or rather anyone who did know didnt get back to me....maybe you'll have better luck asking than i did.

[joe GT]

Hey! I'm loving the hilux, its so damn comfortable! I've managed to get the interior lights on the Clean-Ace system to work, just trying to get the fan to work now. no worries about the spot lights, i'll connect them up soon.

It really is a beautiful vehicle, and so easy to drive.

I've had 3 japanese imports in the past, none of which had the air cleaner system- so its new to me! i'm sure that they are a factory upgrade from standard, and around the price of £300 new.. so it wuld be nice to get it working- a bit of japanese heritage.

Had 2 Toyota Starlet GT turbo's in the past, then i bought a Honda Integra type-R... Nothing beats toyota's build quality though!

A bit of help would be great from someone in the 'know'.

Joe.
