...and again.

IT WORKS ONCE MORE! :) Resoldered EVERY SINGLE JOINT in the heater control panel, took out the air mix control servo (not a job for those of you that have headaches/migraines etc - dangling UPSIDE DOWN with your head wedged into the footwell = GRRR!!!), cleaned the filthy contacts in there, and...

Me.

Hmm, i'll have a poke around today, i'm in 'limp around' mode at the moment.

The water reservoir...? I'm new to this A/C stuff :p

I've found most insurance companies in the UK are also producing RIDICULOUS quotes for older cars - not wanting to really insure them at all. I was quoted £1400 a year on a FIAT 500. 1.4 litre. Manual. The supra, at age 27, i'm either INELIGIBLE to be insured on it, or i end up with quotes...

This man is. I need cheering up. I demand that everyone else does so immediately. ;)

I think the ducting is somewhat different, due to the position of the blower motor. The climate control is just dead simple - literally a potentiometer, and some switches - theres no real electronics in there, unlike the US model. Is it common for the A/C amp to just fail? Going to check to...

Not as cramped in a RHD ;) Where should i be looking at though?

Yeah theres vacuum going IN, but there's no vacuum SWITCHING going on. I swapped the vac lines, so that the input it going straight to the vacuum chamber, so the matrix now has hot water flowing through it...but still no hot air, even after the engine is up to temp. Remember - RHD car means...

Nope - system is stock, and i'd like to keep it that way if possible, rather than just bypassing it. What size ID vac line do i need - 3mm?

Had no heat recently, and unfortunately, in this climate, thats a no-no. The heater slider does absolutely nothing. The only way i can stay warm, is to put the system into 'recycle' mode and keep breathing. If i push the solenoid arm into 'heat' position, and clamp the pipe, it'll stay up...

Credit for this goes to Mark3 for this guide. Firstly jack car and as always support with axle stands, don't risk your legs for a few little rubber seals.... the lower wishbone is the bit to remove, the n/s one looks like this; its held onto the suspension members via the shock...

I imported one over 8 years ago...cost me $12,000 AUD at the time... But, it needed work doing (not that i minded)

*fondly remembers his own XB GT*

Welcome to a feature that every other mobile phone has had for at least the last 4 years. I have it on good authority that they treat their staff like indentured servants, pay them crap, and those that are seriously ill are forced into work, or face losing their insurance...

And several thousand Lexus's. And a load of really nice Jaguars. And a BENTLEY. Who the FUCK trades in a bentley continental for $4500?!

*hangs around*

Am i the only regular fixture in here these days?

My hands dont have enough dexterity to use the controller like the rest of you button mashers. I grew up playing games on a keyboard...then a keyboard and mouse. The only games i have for the PS3, are; Pain, Wipeout HD (immense fun), Dead Space (i have it on the PC, much easier to play with a...
