Hi everyone.

My names Charlie, this is my first post since joining this forum. I've recently took on my late fathers Hilux Surf 2.4 Turbo diesel on a K registered Jap import. It's a lovely vehicle and only got 95,000 on the clock. It was his pride and joy. However, it's old and i've...

I am hoping to get some insight and help how to remove this thing because its a pain in the butt... I am not sure where this thing is tied...

After some problems starting my 3.0 Diesel Surf. I brought it to my mechanic and he said that the ECU is busted.
I have tried searching on eBay for one, but with no match.
Does anyone know where I could get one of these?

Hi,

I'd like to add a cigarette lighter socket to my Hilux, and I'd like to make it permanently powered so that I can leave a solar panel attached to drip-charge my batteries. It'd also be vaguely useful to have a permanent power connection for charging some small devices, so that's why...

hello, i have a 1994 3.0l automatic diesel surf, i have started to have this issue where, travelling along at 100km/h or so the revs will be at 2000 or above, then it will drop a gear for no reason, as if you have taken the over drive off?
It will do this every 20 seconds or so, usually for a...

From what I gather on here....the main ECU is the same in 2.4's and 3.0's, can someone confirm that?

I'm thinking of taking one on our trip as a precautionary measure and have access to a 2.4 I can strip.

Is the 4x4 ECU the same on both models too?

Thank...

I am looking for a speedosensor (the one behind the dashboard) for a Surf 3,0lt TD 1993 - KZN 130 ( or 2,4lt TD - LN 130) Automatic Transmission.
Anyone got a spare one for sale ?
Thank you

Ok so if I Manually select 4wd, (by turning the mechanism by hand until it's completely engaged) and leave it engaged, I can use the free wheel hubs, to dis-engage the front wheels.

My question is: What will this do for my MPG, and wear'n'tear on the transmission, until...

I wonder if there is any lovely individual 'out there', who could post a picture or something of the fuse box cover beside the throttle pedal, as mine is missing and I have suspect electrical problems.

Also, the moon roof motor turns upon pressing the switch but there's no movement from...

Forgive my stupidity as a new owner but does anyone have a map of fuses for a 3rd gen? The aerial decided not to rise this morning so I presume its just a fuse as there's no straining noise of the motor trying to work?? (here's hoping as its been fine this first week of ownership!)
