Camper

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has a Toyota Hiace van YH61, 3ymotor workshop manual for sale. Thanks

Hi, I have a Hiace Camper Van auto 1985 YH with original motor, low 150,000 kms. The van is in pristine condition, body paint excellent , trakka fitout in perfect, very clean, like new condition. The original owner was fastidious with the van. About a year ago I had problems with the steering column and sourced out a replacement at the wreckers. The mechanic fitted the new steering column but unfortunately the auto transmission column gear shift indicator disappeared. I didn`t want to sound like a whinger as I was just so pleased to have the van operational again. I am also female and don`t have much mechanical knowledge. I just sourced a after market new steering column and asked another mechanic to replace the steering column again [extra expense I know but I felt by putting a new one in they are hard to get would guarantee longevity]. I asked the mechanic if it was possible to purchase a new gear shift indicator [ shows if gear engaged in drive, reverse etc;] Really hard to get and no wrecker I could find throughout Australia had one. The mechanic talked to Toyota he has not much knowledge with this and thinks they did not use a needle indicator in that model but used a globe type arrangement. I am sure it was a needle type. Has anyone any suggestions or even a way of glueing a piece of metal painted orange [original was] to the cable , otherwise I can not get a a roadworthy for this vehicle if i want to sell it in the future. I live in Brisbane. The van has cost me $12,000.00 in total and now to think I can`t get a roadworthy worries me. Thanks. Pleased to report another mechanic foound there was a crimped wire and a missing bub, all fixed, fantastic!!!

I have a long wheel base auto tranmission Toyota Hiace 1985 Camper Van. Recently had the steering column replaced and the auto transmission column gear shift indicator is now lost, the orange needle type indicator that shows you if you are in drive, reverse etc;. I should have spoken to the mechanic at the time and now am trying to replace the gear shift indicator but they are impossible to find. Maybe a piece of metal could be hooked on to the cable and painted red to replicate the indicator. I wouldn`t be able to do this myself I am not mechanical at all. Any suggestions, I am based in Brisbane. Just been told by a friend it may be a bulb that is missing and Toyota may not have used the needle indicator type but a bulb light option?? I am confused, does anyone know? Although I am not convinced because when parked and ignition off you could still see it was in park. Also it looked like a litte pointed metal arrow. I am a non mechanical female. Pleased to report another mechanic found the fault a crimped wire and a bulb missing, pleased and relieved to report all fixed.
