He added in the heater coil, I don't recall where he got it from, but if you're interested in reading the thread it might give an indication of how difficult it was to fit.

Why would you drive a right hand drive car in a left hand drive country? A turn out in a left hand drive car here killed a few members of my family his excuse was he was trying to overtake. I think you have too much faith in toyota's made in Thailand Im not impressed with my 2007 hilux its a pos compared to the first Hilux I had or the prado I had after that ,its the little things keep breaking .

I probably should add all competitors in the same price range are the same.
Its the clutch slave cylinder today for me its weeping or leaking making near impossible to select reverse when cold .

I have a few questions regarding the model and the engine itself when it comes to maintenance, I never owned a diesel before and was wondering what to lookout for. I am fully aware that the model in Thailand doesn't have heater core only A/C, this will be mainly my spring, summer, fall vehicle, worst case is that I run aftermarket heater in the vehicle instead of dealing with taking apart the dash.
Any pacific year of the Hilux N70 that I should avoid and is the Hilux compatibility with the Tacoma like the suspension and etc.
241steve wrote:what do you expect from a 15year-old hilux? It's not exactly a new vehicle! Some parts wear out after time so it's not surprising you have replaced a few bits.
rear diff center
timing chain
clutch
all the suspension
water pump
rear main
alternator
drivers seat belt
serpentine belt pulleys
theres heaps more
