I totally agree with you there is some thing very wrong when a camry needs suspension bushes at 150klms they must have been on very very rough road for most of its life Dosent make any sense Haydn

I was wondering if any one new if a V6 96 fuel pump( is it the same pump?) would work for a 5fe 4 clylinder trying to help a fellow camry owner out

I have a 95 GSX Wagon V6 it has ABS, cruise. elec windows. keyless entry, velour seats The suspension seems on the hard side compared to my sons 94 csi wagon so I susect it may have the 17mm sway bars it has no CD player although it says so on the radio cassett player maybe it was an option but I cant find where the wiring is I just hope that the engine loom out of the 96 V6 Im putting in the car has the wires for the cruise control Next weekend will tell I guess when Im putting in the new motor and tranny

Yes its a good way to pick up a bargain I did my sons 94 wagon (blown head gasket and slipped in reverse slightly)that way but I put in a motor and trans 95.000klms in his car as the original wasnt serviced properly anyway ( I usally drain the diff in these cars and that tells me straight away also if no coolant.When buying a motor , the motor has to still be in the car and I make sure its got toyota coolant in it if not I wont buy it, and a good look around to see if the car has been properly serviced as far as I was concerned. I recenltly picked up a 95 wagon gsx with a blown head gasket its done 230.00 klms no coolant .I bought a 96 model car with a rear quarter pushed in with 115.00klms I am going to put that motor and trans in the wagon as it was serviced properly at toyota it belonged to a older guy from new so if you know any one that wants any parts I have a complete car with no dents not one mark in the front and three dentless doors, Drivers side rear door was slightly damaged , perfect inside as well csi trim. The car was parked on the street at his daughters home and some drunk hit the rear quarter and hit the RH rear wheel thats where all the damage is . The dog leg at the rear guard hit the rear drivers door slightly fixable HaydnG

Seems to be a weak link on these 10 yr car with say 200k plus... Simple enough to remove and have pressure tested, for hardenss and straightness as well... only take the troubled head of, naturally... then replace as you would any other alloy head motor... heaps of data on net for diy re: timing belt and tensions etc.. Since it is common, seems a good way to pick up a bargain, once repaired you know what u got, all fresh and clean to go.. not bad and it's just nuts and bolts if your familiar with that sort of thing, it's doable. Care with cleaning out ALL fine alloy particles after head shave if water jacket has to be welded... My radiator was 80% blocked...10K after head job with alloy particles caused to re-heat.. lets us know progress, I interested.

Maybe you have blown a fuse check them. then turn your igintion on see if you can see the air condtioner compressor clutch click in its just near your fan belts at the front under your alternator. If that not engaging it could be you have some how ran out of gas and it might need regasing you should always switch on your a/c and run it for a minuet every day as the seal in the compressor drys out and goes hard if you dont and then you loose gas , A lot of current car have a feature where the a/c come on automatical so this doesnt happen these day but our old bangers dont You best see a a/c mechcanic so he can recharge it with gas the dye to find a leak usally a oring dyes out and leaks good luck Haydng

it needs a plastic noding doggy in the back window to finish it off but it look great

Bought my first camry new in 95 traded it on a new land cruiser got a devorce and sold the cruiser These days I bought a low klm sv 21 sedan 120.000 when I bought her two years ago now she got 150.000 Bought a 94 wide body for my son off ebay with motor and trans problems and bought a motor and trans that had done 92.000 put it in and he loves it specaily after back packing the world for 18 months Bought a 93 wagon with 220.000 complete with blown head gasket have the motor out of it in my sv21 boot and the back floor to take to the recondtioners this week . and my latest a 95 GSX wagon with 225.000 klms with a blown head gasket found a damaged 96 model with 115.000 klm on it today might buy it to put the drive train in it . so I hope to be updating my old sv21 but shes been a great car new starter and thats all shes ever asked for other than a good service ever 5.000 runs well with michy tyres

Have a look on Ebay there a 94 wagon going that done 400.000 klm you might buy that cheap its just on now @$.99 cent and it wont go to high either its in NSW you could get all the part you want off it and sell the balance back on ebay Providing you motor and trans are in good nick its worth doiing and it keeps you out of the pub and pokies for a while hahahaah good luck just go to ebay click on motors then on the left hand side find toyota and camry and under $5000 dollars and you will find it
