Hi, I have a 1998 Toyota Estima Toyota - grey market Japanese import. Some people call them the “wombat” due to the round front headlights. I’m chasing a towbar, the one for the Australian TCR10 doesn’t fit, the chassis rails are 60mm out. Anybody know a good Aus source, new or second hand/aftermarket? Maybe New Zealand? Looks like I can get one out of the UK but the postage will sting I’m sure... Thanks in anticipation, cheers S

Hi guys! I'm new to this forum, vans and also dual fuel which my new (second hand van) currently has! It is a Toyota hiace 1996 with dual fuel. As for engine model and other specifications I am not sure (I pick up the van this Sunday as it is currently getting a roadworthy). However my last few cars I have always serviced myself unless there was a problem that I couldn't fix myself then I would have it checked out. But I have NEVER serviced a dual fuel vehicle or a van. My questions are, Basically what would give me a really good idea with servicing this is what would YOU do/change/check if you were servicing a dual fuel vehicle? (And if you say "change oil", if you could please tell me what kind (may be different because of lpg :/ )) And also is there anything on vans that I would need to lookout for? Anything that wears out more than cars? I have heard something about the radiator needing to be maintained VERY well more so in vans but not sure how true this is... Thanks guys! Any help would be appreciated!

Hey guys and gals, My name is Dan, I own a van, oh look I rhymed, that wasn't the plan... I'll stop :P I recently bought this beautiful beast and have always had toyota cars. Only vehicle I've owned that wasn't was a Honda spada 250cc. Would love to catch up with people,I'm currently restoring the exterior (not completely but I'll do my best) I'll probably ask for a lot of help but I'll probably provide a fair amount as well. See ya on the boards!! Dan Man with a Van

Title says it all, really. I'm on the hunt for a second-hand van for both city driving and weekend road trips, with a $8000 budget. I have two options: (1) 2001 Toyota Hiace Duel Fuel 230,000kms – $7,500; or (2) Mitsubishi Express Duel Fuel 210,000kms – $6,990. As you can probably guess, fuel economy is of the utmost importance to me and hence I'm after a duel fuel van that is as reliable as they come. I'd be grateful for expert advice. I'm keen to understand what people prefer and why? In terms of reliability, mechanics, suitability, costs, fuel, reputation, repair costs, etc. I understand that I'm posting in a Toyota forum but I'd love an impartial opinion on the above if possible! Cheers

I am having trouble finding a drivers seat for my '99 Hiace that's in good condition. I have back issues and am wondering if there are any other seat options? (e.g bolt in drivers seats from newer models or other makes). Would it be cheaper to have it reupholstered? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Luke.

Heeellloo Everyone, I am currently driving an 89 Hi-ace (old model, 85 - 89) and am in need of a new radiator. It's an auto, 2L and I am having trouble because they don't make my version anymore and I am being told that what I need to do is get a manual radiator and retrofit it. This would be fine, but there are 100 ways to do this and I would like some suggestions as what the best might be, also the one one that will not cost me my left arm ;) The alternative is going aluminium, but when I called up he asked me if I was selling it, out of curiosity I said "yes" and he replied "aluminum is fine then". Not a huge confidence booster. Cheers
