You could try Iezura on ebay. I got one for a 2nd gen from there, very cheap and so far its not broken.

The Milners ones both (according to the mechanic) are both wrong I.E. they don't fit.

Hopefully he will be able to sourse one today otherwise a 3rd Gen that is in great nick with a strong engine will be being broken from this week-end as I cannot afford to spend £300+ on a new one!

[Smego2]

I cannot believe the ammount of hassle..!!

Well no one seems to do these, Yota want £300, the mecanic says he can get one second-hand for £150 but that is ###### expencive too!

The £79 Milners don't fit and no one else does it???

I am told they are the same as a UK yota colarado so why is this not a simple after market bit???

Anyone on here know where I can get one resonablly???

HELP.....

[charvell]

What do Milner say about their CVs not fitting?

Before you buy a Land cruiser 90 series cv joint I would ask your local Toyota dealer to cross reference the part number to make sure it's the same.

It might be worth asking him to cross reference the KZN185 cv joint part number across the whole epc, as it will then show if it's used on any other Toyota model.

I would also google the part number as this might bring something up.

The other possible supplier that I can think off the top of my head is Blue Print. I have a Blue print Catalogue at work, I will have a look tomorrow for you.

If you post the part number for me I will put it in my Tec Doc system at work for you to see if there are any aftermarket suppliers.

Cool thanks I have passed the info on to Pete the mechanic (from Thames valley 4x4 forum) I personally don't know the part number.

He ordered the bit from Milners but apparently when they came they where both (the ABS and non ABS version) different to the bit that he has taken off.

Not being funny here, but maybe the bit he took off is wrong? Won't be the first time that's happened.

Check to see if it's the same as the other side.

Did he actually try to fit the new ones?

[Smego2]

I havn't seen either part he removed it while I was at work, no he has not been back he just compared the old one with the Milners nes and told me on the phone they were not the same!
