Urgent Help!!!!

[mudhog]

Hey all,

My surf has decided to play up on me today. I just popped down the shop all was fine until i came out and started her up and now she won't rev over about 1600 rpm. Throttle fully down it still won't rev any more than that.

It was only serviced two weeks ago.

Anyone any ideas.....please

have you checked the tps switch.has the engine/ecu check light come on.?

[mudhog]

not sure what the tps switch is and no the engine light hasn't some on. I've just been out and started it up and its working fine. very strange. I had just washed it at the garage before so maybe a bit of water got in which would be strange.

The only problem now is a loud knocking noise from the rear suspension when I go over bumps or turn corners

Don't really know much about suspension but think the shocks may have gone.

check the fuel tank breather make sure its not blocked with crud.

I have had a good look round underneath and can't see any obvious brakes or snaps so probably the bushes. The front wishbone ones need replacing soon as well.

very funny!!! no I don't have wood, I just drove up the highest kerb and had a look. I suppose i'm going to have to book it in to a garage as both of your thoughts sound expensive.

Vatchman.....Nobody likes a smart arse!!!!

I had a look again today in good light and found that one of the anti roll bar brackets had snapped so yes you were right but thanks coz i must have missed it yesterday. Can anyone tell me where to get a replacement as have looked on Milner but they don't have them listed, could I just pick one up from a Toyota dealer???

Yeah about £8.00 each from the Stealer

[stormforce]

just going thru milners catalogue and the rear anti roll bar bush kit is £12 and item no.005428k and the brackets are item no.005388g and £7.50 not sure if this is each or the pair
