Newbie (UK) with questions

Hi all

just bought a 1996 super custome ltd, got sidetracked from a VW when i saw the kit and so far def think i've made the right move, loving it !!

Have a few questions, i'll try posting here, if no reply maybe i should post each seperatly?

1. In the UK, where any official cars imported with the 3.0l diesel block, so i know for parts?

2. The Pot - great, but what are the 3 lights ( its the only bit in Japanese and my japanese is poor :-) )

3. Power ECT - err, what exactly does this do? Hold gears, more bhp ?

4. Anyone know if i can get replacement parking sensors, 2 of mine are faulty !

5. Finally - can you lower these at all? Not massivly, just thinking an inch or so, are there kits or is it a bodge?

6. Finally, are there backlights behind the buttons on the digital air con, can't tell if the buttons are supposed to be backlit or not !

Ta all

hi andy and welcome to the forum most parts are available through your local toyota dealer although in the uk other members will be more able to help than i can.
yes you are able to lower these lovely vehicles i am unsure on the back lights in switches mine does not have these lights dave

Thanks Dave - I'm sending it down to a mate to have teh cambelt changed, so i'll send him Toyota's direction...

Engine is same as UK Toyota landcruiser (Colorado) I think - known as 1KZ-TE if I remember correctly so I have had no problem with parts so far touch wood.

Engine also in the Hilux.

The 3 lights are for the hot/Cool box. The pot is the one with raised sides, pops up once water gets to almost boiling.

ECT holds gears, same as sport mode in other cars.

Suspect sensor are the same as the Estima range plenty of those being broken.

Yes there are backlights and brighter lights when you depress any switch.

Great stuff - thanks for the help guys !

Ops sorry just had a look - can't see the pot lights while driving -
highest one (or bottom if you go by the word pot) shows it is on. middle that it has got hot, third on simmer - all cancelled by opening the pot cover or switching off ign.

cheers clive, thats a better explaination than the book i just got !

I'm replacing the radio next week, so i'll have a poke around behind the air con for the bulbs !!
