    • Hey all, recently got a 1989 Hilux with the petrol 22r engine. I had plugged a voltage meter into the 12v socket because I suspected an electrical problem as the battery light had been on. It had read 11.9 volts initially but the more I drive the more it deteriorates, currently sitting at 10.9 (after several hours of driving) when the engine is running. This obviously doesn't charge the battery and it can't start by itself. I have since replaced the battery and yesterday I did the alternator with a brand new one. I've checked all the grounds that I can see but it's still sitting at 10.9 volts and deteriorates over time. I was thinking the voltage regulator is the next best bet? I looked at it visually and it seems fine. Anyone got any other ideas? Note: I had a very long drive the other week and on one occasion the voltage spiked back up to 15+ volts for a short while before going back down to about 11.4 And yeah I'm trying not to drive it too much because I know it's probably damaging the battery being on such low voltage. Any help would be awesome thanks!  
    • Photo below showing remotely mounted relay for sup pump and switch to connect relay coil to earth when required.  The earth connection for the switch was found using a test light in an empty relay socket just near where the relay is now mounted.  You can trace the solid black wire.  Btw, I soldered all the crimp connectors.  I don't have a lot of faith in crimp connectors. Geoff
    • No, I didn't see a fuel filter, but the inside of the tank was spotless.  The pump wasn't running - blocked filter or not. Geoff
    • Geoff, did you check the fuel filter that protects the transfer pump from blockages? Tony
    • I’ve brought my first car a while ago it’s a 2008 Toyota Aurion sportivo zr6 it has 215xxx kms I’ve been wanting to modify it as it is tidy but I’m unsure if I should since the car is this old and I have had to replace the oil cooler lines a month ago (my car dumped its oil on me) just unsure if they go good after a certain age.    what I do want to do to it is. wheels  lowering springs or coil overs stiffer sway bar  exhaust  tint all round  after market head lights and tail lights (if any of you know decent ones could you shear a link as I’ve only been able to find some on eBay) if there is anything else that would make it look good like body kits if there are any would be nice to know.
