97 Terrano Reverse Lights Not Going

Got a 97 Terrano, reverse lights don't come on when reverse is engaged.

Can't find a blown fuse, or even a fuse labelled rev lts for that matter. Bulbs are fine.

Where abouts on the trans is the switch? Are they a common failure point?

cheers all

Re: Ford D series Diesel

You mean crack the return line at #5? Its an old mechanical diesel so no electronics there, and not common rail. So only common line between the two is the overflow rail that runs along all 6 injectors. Have cracked the HP line on all 6 and theres plenty of fuel at each, no overflow from any in the ...

Re: burning clutch when shifting

nah definately not related to the throw out bearing. There is atleast 2 inches of movement before the clutch starts to disengage. The pedal feel is right, and there is no unusual noises in there either. It only happens when I've made a shift. So I could be sitting there with my foot on the clutch al...

burning clutch when shifting

Hiya ORE,

I've got a safari that smells like Im slipping the clutch everytime I change gear

Ill make the change, release the clutch and give it stick again, and according to my ass in the seat and the rev counter, its not slipping. But it smells like it. Any speed, any gear.

Any ideas?

Re: New Engine for Prado

Its a 3RZJ90...

So sounds like a mission of a job then. Was hoping that fitting the V6 wouldn't be too much of a pain.


So really unless we can find another 3RZ we're gonna be chopping and cutting and certing at the end.

Afternoon toyota club! My father in laws Prado has cooked the motor and is irrecoverable. Don't ask how/ why just accept the old engine is done. We're struggling to find a replacement engine which doesn't help. Its a SWB with the 2.7 petrol, does any one know if the 3.2 V6 will fit in? Do they have ...

Where did you obtain the NZTA rating from? There should not be a difference between NZTA and Carjam as they both come from the same register.

Thats why I'm asking here. NZTA have 2800, carjam says 2650. And if you go to the manufacturer with the factory identification numbers, they can tell you exactly what that particular vehicle was designed for. Hence why talking with Nissan, they were able to bring those details up. And they can tell ...

The GCM in this case is a combination of GVM and GTM. They've said increasing GVM will, in this case, increase GCM as well. Does towball downforce ...

Re: Safari GVM

To the god squad gvm is gvm as in gross vehicle mass or max loaded vehicle simple. Gcm isnt gvm plus gtm. Gcm is gross combined so the tow vehicle may need to off load if towing a gtm trailer to get under gcm. Currently studying gsl booklet. Yup thats right - but very generalised. Most vehicle manu...

Afternoon everyone, Looking at the GVM and GCM of Y60 Safaris here I am perfectly happy with the 2.5t towing capacity. I might push it every now and then but only moderately. What I'm not happy with is the 2600kg GVM. Is this accurate? The kerb weight is already 2050kg. Meaning I can carry 550kg wor...
