Ask for Craig, tell him Paul yellow hilux told you to call him.
They are often cheaper then BNT.
Just have rego details ready so they can search properly for you.

Worth a shot.

Never done one but have heard you need to put auto into neutral before taking apart, this allows it to rev out without all the auto shite trying to interfere.

Re: Removing a windscreen SJ

Removed a few by "cutting " through with a large sized steel guitar string. Poke a hole through the goo and have a mate on one end and you on the other. With a bit of coordinated se-sawing action you can work your way around, not broken a screen yet. :D

Re: Pre heat timer outputs LN107 3L

Thanks guys,

The dash light times out after about 5 seconds, the relay goes out after about 15.
From what I can read they have different outputs from the timer. :shock:

I will check with multi meter as suggested, cheers.
