I have just finished having a rant on the phone to some gormless twit on the Toyota Parts Counter. I apologise if I offend anyone with my personal views on this.
Having placed an order for some bits (which Milners don't do)... I have been told that they are on the slow boat from Belgium. This boat won't leave until its full and its expected due date is the 9th of June. Some of the bits I have asked for... 20mm rear fog light switch [with the raised edges, like the hard/soft suspension switch] (UK spec, landcruiser... probably), Torque bolts and nuts for the torsion bars (again UK Spec IFS Landcruiser - identical probably?)...
OK maybe the oil filler tube for the auto trans didn't come on any other UK spec vehicle (I find that a little difficult to believe - wasn't the 93-95 UK 4Runner a 2nd Gen?), I'll give him that one.
But, please, don't bullsh1t a bullsh1ter.
"Japanese spec vehicles must be different, they're Japanese"
"Japanese vehicles run a different ampage (?), they have smaller batteries"
"There is a different part number for Import vehicles, it can't be the same part"
"AAaaaaaaarrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh !"
