Toyota 13BT Shutoff valve

Long shot but anyone got one of these on the shelf? Shutoff valve in the intake of a 13BT motor.

Re: Hj45 lift springs

What's your budget like? Because I think the verdict is OME is still the best, but pricey.

Try Force4 for EFS gear, which I've found to be good quality and a bit more reasonably priced.

Re: Whirring fan noise from engine bay.

Using water? It's either dripping it on the road or coming out the tail pipe. Figuring out which is probably key to diagnosing your problem.

Is it getting hot? Smoking more than usual? Smell of coolant anywhere in or around the car?

The 185s are a nice wagon, and once the cooling issues are all sorted, should be good for another 20 years.

Auto transmissions cannot provide compression braking. (read engine braking, downhill control) This is not correct.

How much do you want it? They don't come up for sale that often, and are reasonably sought after. Int he aftermarket, the cheapest non-selectable locker (lokrite etc) will sting you around $400, plus install if you can't do it yourself, so this might be a good starting point.

Well yes, Ararimu Valley Rd does look like the redneck verge hacking capital of West Auckland. It's a mix of sealed and gravel road that is just a nice place to take a drive on a sunny arvo, but definitely no 4x4 opportunities unless you're into ripping up private property. http://i84.photobucket.co...
