  • Hello from a new member

    Hello!

    This is my first post - obviously, because it's in this section.

    I'm a fairly recent Hilux owner. I bought a 20 year old Japanese import (3.0 diesel) a couple of months ago. I've owned 4x4s in the past, but I'm what I would call a novice at anything mechanical and at anything off-roading.

    But we've all got to start somewhere, right..?

    I'm sure I'll pick up loads of useful info along the way from this forum, but I have a couple of things I could do with some advice/pointers on, and hope it's ok to ask.

    First, I've got front spots mounted on the bumper. Or at least I *had* front spots mounted on the bumper until two weeks ago when one of the brackets just snapped in two. It was pretty corroded.

    I've had a bit of a look round online but I can't find anywhere selling any sort of sturdy replacement bracket. Does anyone here have any suggestions?

    Also, I've managed to break the switch for the sunroof! If anyone knows an auto-electrician who knows their way round a Hilux loom (preferably in the Reading area) I'll be forever in your debt! Also, any recommendations on where to get spares (such as a new switch) would be great.

    Thanks in advance,

    Sean

                Hello and possibly goodbye?

                Bad move letting us know how sensitive you so very early on.

                  Washing your posts in fairy should ease that sensitivity.

                    Not sure if the wave is hello or goodbye but don't be put off, we're not a bad bunch really.
                    If its not broke don't fix it.

                      Pick you bottom lip up, post some pictures of the bracket you need and mark some sizes on it and I will make you a couple. You cover postage, call it a welcome prezzie.

                            Welcome to the asylum - just remember that some of the guys in white coats are inmates !

                            If you give TonyN a bell he might have a switch for your sunroof - he's down the road from you in Blazingsmoke


                            Life is too important to take seriously !
