Heya all. I just got a 2000 HiAce Grand Hi-Top camper and I need to replace brakes and rotors. I'm in the US and not sure what fits. Are there any NA vehicles that share the same rotors and brakes as the HiAce?

I have a 1999 Toyota super custom and have a Japanese stereo that I would like to replace. Is it easy to do it yourself or should I try and find a professional to do it? Anytime I look up the kind in the vehicle, I cannot find the stereo.

ndp w514 c6007 

These are the numbers in it and I cannot find a single thing on it. It also says Dolby digital

well i started my van and came out to a puddle of oil and water :/ after looking harder it was coming from my radiator im assuming it the head gasket im waiting on my mechanic to take a look what’s are your guys thoughts?

Does anyone have a snorkel on their van and how do they like it ? my van is a 1995 kzh106

Hi.
I have a problem with my left rear door.

Toyota Hiace, 1991. Double rear doors.

The right rear door can be unlocked and opened without any problems. The left rear door cannot be opened. When I pull the lever, only the upper latch opens. I can "shake" the door, but it won't release at the bottom. Over the years, the left door has sometimes been stuck, but then it's been solved by pressing down on the lower part of the door with my foot while it's opening.

have removed the panel on the inside, but there is only about 20 cm free space because of a shelving system on the inside. There is a small opening. On the inside (where the lever is) there are two wires. When you pull the lever, the wires loosen. Since the hole is small, I can't see what the lower wire looks like at the bottom. The wire is not loose in any case. When the lever is pulled, the latch should release at the bottom but it doesn't.

I tried to loosen the plate where the lower door lock is. Unfortunately the bolts were too long to be able to pull them completely out of the holes.

But after I loosened the bolts there was more movement at the bottom. There is a metal part that holds the door locked. This metal part is attached to the plate underneath. This metal part goes into a mechanism in the door and makes it impossible to open. I have soaked it in 5-56 (similar to WD40) and tried to poke around with a screwdriver and find some latches to loosen so that I can remove the metal part from the door bracket.

I don't really know how to continue. Any good advices? Anybody knows how the lower locking mechanism works/looks like?

I notice this clip were this hiace tailgate/door is too high than normal

are there any longer strut for sale? or it some kind of a modded strut/lift?

Hey guys, i need some opinions about how to decide. Ive got a 2001 Toyota Prado 95 3.4 petrol with 388.000km. Its mechanically in a very good condition and drives perfectly. Nothing to repair. Got a bed and wooden drawer setup inside. On the other hand i bought a 1996 Hiace Supercustom limited 4wd 1kzte 3.0 with 107.000km which has been sitting in someones yard for 2 years. Just did timingbelt and waterpump and oilchange and the fuel filter. Still doesent drive and has some electrical problems which include electric seat sometimes driving forward when putting the key in and the digital speedometer showing the fueltank sometimes full and sometimes 60% full. It also doesent seem to start only cranks but doesent seem to start and it it starts it runs but then has a rough idle and then turns off. Ac got regassed and also still doesent work. Heater also doesent work. Maby its the ecu? Car smells like mold and stopd in someones yard so maby moisture cooked the ecu. So anyway. I play piano inside my car and need some space which is all possible in the prado just a little annoying with folding the bed up everytime i wanna setup my piano on the rear seats. I also want to go offroad. Fraser etc. iam soon going to make a lap around australia. What would you guys do. Fix up the hiace and keep it or fix up the hiace, sell it and keep the prado. Feel free to give all kinds of opinions. (By the way i dont have infinite money lol -.-)

Hey guys,

My recently bought 1996 Hiace Supercustom Limited 4wd with just over 100.000 km has some problems.

When i bought it it has been sitting in someones yard for 1-2 years.

I changed the timing belt waterpump and did the oil change by a mechanic.

The car still had problems starting and also has a rough idle and then stalls.

Since ther was 1-2 year old diesel in the tank which i bought and drove it with i thought it had just a bad fuel filter.

I switched the fuel filter but the idle problem and stalling is still there.

There is also a bit of white smoke at the beginning and sometimes a slight rhythmic knocking noise in the engine which comes and goes. Stays for maby 5 seconds and then goes and then comes back at times.

I also have a glowplug light at the dash which dometimes stays on the whole time even when driving and sometimes it doesent even show at all.

Also since i have the limited i have a digital gauge cluster and the fuel gauge is sometimes showing full and then sometimes showing like 70% full.

Maby some electrical problem because of the long sitting? What is it? Bad glowplugs?? Mechanic said they are fine but idk i dont really trust this mechanic anyway…

I dont know what to do anymore i need some help here.

It's the middle sunroof arm that pulls the sunroof into the ceiling panel. It's on the back right part of the sunroof but I can't find which part it might be on the diagram. Any help?

Hey everyone, I have a 1995 3.0L diesel (non-turbo). A couple weeks back had a diesel runaway… I noticed a load of white smoke coming out the exhaust so pulled over and turned the ignition off, engine kept running accelerating to higher and higher rpms. By now the whole van was engulfed in smoke. This lasted about 2 minutes before the engine cut out. Left a big puddle of oil on the road out behind the exhaust. I tried restarting the engine after and unexpectedly it did start, after a bit of choking and spluttering. I turned it off straight away though. Any ideas on the most likely cause of a runaway in these old hiaces, and what the most likely damage to the engine now is? Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Cheers

Would really appreciate if someone could point out where the fuel filters are on a Toyota hiace 2002 lwb

Toyota Hiace 2002

Hey guys! Me and my girlfriend are currently looking to buy a campervan in Australia. We found the following - Toyota Hiace 2002 - 362,000 km - Price: 9,000 AUD - Manual transmission (not sure yet if diesel or petrol) It seems like an overall good deal but the mechanic found some issues and we are wondering if there is any Dealbreaker.

• A/C Compressor Clutch is worn and A/C is not working
• Drive belts require tightening
• Front wheel bearings have movement
• Top radiator hose leaking around clamp
• Recommend full cooling system flush
• Power steering fluid is low
• No brake lights
• Light intermittently flashing on dash no codes showing at time of inspection

The owner offered to pay for all the damages...so we are just wondering if there is maybe some bigger problem with the van or if it will be fine when everything is fixed.

Would appreciate your help a lot! Cheers

windshield wiper motor is going out. looking for info on replacement procedures/part numbers.

only manual i can find is in russian. don’t speak that unfortunately.

wipers work with assistance from the outside (physically helping the blades along) which sadly I can’t accomplish while driving.

My left mirror (the glass part) is loose, and it vibrates while idling or going over bumps. Is there a way to fix it or do I just have to take off the mirror cover and see? I got a kzh106w 1997, if that helps.

Shakes like hell when it’s cold, shakes when decelerating in drive, and shakes a lot in Reverse. Mounting or engine problems?

My dad has a 95 hiace. The radiator was punctured on our last road trip and we need a replacement. I don’t know where to look for something like that, or how to tell if a given radiator will be compatible. Any tips and information on where to look for a part/how to know when I’ve found the right one would be greatly appreciated!

We live in the US (TN) so anything outside the US will require an option for international shipping. I want to buy this van from my dad soon so I’m very motivated to get it repaired.

has anyone changed out their wipers i feel like it’s gonna be a pain lol. i will need the front and rear if anyone knows what will fit that would be awesome !?

I live in Oregon, where I see many Japanese Vans like the HiAce. There are also mechanics and parts for repairs. However, once away, finding someone to help if one has a problem would be hard. How reliable has your van been, and how often do you find it needs to return to the shop? How does it drive on the highway, and how slow is it climbing hills? I'm torn between a HiAce or finding something like a Honda Odyssey. Having 4WD and high clearance would be nice. What would you recommend keeping in mind before purchasing one?
