Hi Anthony, it is possible that as yours is rego'd and badged as a tarago then it may have come from another country that has them as taragos. New Zealand is also tarago's so it could have been bought over??? I had a mitsubishi sigma in the early 90's it was badged as mitsubishi sigma and had an aussie Mitsu compliance plate but when I looked closer it was actually an import from South africa.

Thanks for that! Whats withthe no fuses in the panel under the seat??

G'day all, newbie here! Got our family an Estima Lucida CX 1992 model. It is 2.2TDI and we are pretty darn happy with it. Had a few small issues, but over all its nothing you wouldnt expect from a vehicle that is 20 years old. Gettin pretty good fuel range, 600km from 49 litres every time on the highway and 550km around town from 52 litres. Compared it to Tarago's, even the new ones, and this is so much nicer (except it is not the wide body).

G'day all, we have a 1992 Estima CX. Its 2.2TDI and generally pretty happy and trouble free. Well it had some braking issues so I bought new rear drums and shoes and front discs and pads, and changed the rears without a problem When I was changing the fronts though, trouble struck :'( The front right was no problem but while undoing the front left slide bolt it snapped off :o It was not my fault, I am a TQ mechanic with over 25 years experience. The bolt looks like it was previously overtensioned because it was stretched and had a small rust line in it. Anyway, using my vast experience with removing broken bolts, I set about drilling it out of the calliper slide, and then using an easy out on it. That didnt work. So into the oven for 90 minutes at 280c, removed from oven and sprayed with inox, still wont budge. I suspect that the bolt must have been installed with loctite and a rattle gun, plus rusted in over the years since it was last removed :o Ok, now to the next point, Im now going to try to use a M10-1.25 tap and re-thread the hole, but I am concerned that if I dont get it lined up perfectly it will damage the thread and would thus be unsafe to use, so my next question is: Does anyone know of any Aussie model toyotas that use the same brake slide brackets?? Would the Aussie Tarago from 92-93 be the same?? I cant find any parts diagrams for the tarago but have found one for the estima. The bolt is part# 47707A in the diagram below and the slide bracket is part# 47708 47707A BOLT, HEXAGON (FOR FRONT DISC BRAKE TORQUE PLATE) 90119‑10385 CXR1*, 2*, TCR1*, 2*2 $1.37 47708 PLATE SUB-ASSY, DISC BRAKE TORQUE, FRONT LH 47708‑28110 CXR1*, 2*, TCR1*, 2*..D, F, G, GLUX, X, XLUX1 $134.90 .

we got an estima lucida 1992 model 2.2tdi pretty happy with it, only minor issues!

Dont feel too bad! We bought an Estima Lucida CX 1992 model last year and its been mostly trouble free! A few smal issues but nothing drastic! 2.2tdi loads of power, drives in town or highway very well, 600km/52 litres every time!
