I got a kit that just polished the lights. Worked great....but then the yellow came back after a few months. I guess I need a kit with some kind of UV...
Dave, if you can find it, and I had trouble last time I looked, Turtle Wax makes a UV protectant which is for tires. Should do about the same thing. I...
Do you guys know the show "Two guys gargage" on Speed Channel? In one episode Sam demonstrated how toothpaste can be used to remove the haze. I'm not sure how...
I think the Tornado Air intake is a joke. I think it is a total rip-off. The XL-7 does not even have a straight or round intake. It is flat. Therefore, the ...
I don't believe it works if it did won't manufaturers stamp out a $2 piece of metal and sell the performance and mileage for $500-1000. BENJAMIN CASTANEDA...
A few weeks back, I R&R'd the spark plugs on our 2001 GV 2.5L auto. We bought it to replace the '99 I wrecked cupl years ago. Has about 125,000 miles at this...

Oooh, yeah. I actually, here in Vegas I park all our vehicle with the nose facing north to keep the UV damage minimal. I've convinced myself it helps. I...
When changing them on the 2.5L V6, is there anything which is likely to surprise me? I know the main belt is serpentine, so the only surprise is cost. The A/C...
Belts I've yet to tackle, but hoses.... Damn, I *hate* it when it looks like it'll be easy and it's the polar opposite. You'd think I'd have learned after 25...
Never heard of anyone replacing hoses as a preventative, but then things are different over here. Those spring clips are a doddle with the right tool. There...
People tend to ignore them over here in the States, but they really should be changed ever 7 years, or so. Depends on temperatures and use, but eventually...
Someone once pointed out to me that despite their records for long term survival and durability... ...Japanese cars are designed with the thought that 50k and...
Based on what I saw in Australia, at least as far as used Japanese cars go, it appears the Japanese market consumers are encouraged to replace them after three...
I found a place in Vegas to actually rebuild my starter. A 'new' rebuilt one was gonna run me about $170. The rebuild joint sets me back $95, and I get it...
Kelly, you may recall seeing the same situation in New Zealand. The country is infested with used Japanese cars that are essentially considered scrap in...
Paul it seems your Peru authorities migrated from New Zeland but got it all wrong in the trip.......... Your country is not the only one receiving secondhand...
The price is what threw me when I first saw a lot with a bunch of newer used Japanese-market cars on it. This was Melbourne, and I was taken aback at the...
Hi guys, need a bit of expertise here. Am running my 2.0L 4X4 GV on Yokos MT 235/85/16 = 32in. My local distributor says that the torque converter is not...
So I get in, turn the key and...click... Try again. Click. Repeat a dozen times, more like three dozen, and eventually, the starter turns. Interesting. The...
Ooooh, boy, that's a bummer. I really doubt there is a significantly different torque converter available for any GV. You need one with a higher 'stall...
I would also be interested in seeing any photos. I have a 99 V6 GV with ARB OME lift etc. The most I can fit without doing some major cutting/body lift is...
Check the battery cables for corrosion. I'm more apt to believe the ground cable is bad. Jump cable your negative battery terminal to the frame and see if that...
That's the strange thing...I can turn on the lights, low and high beams (you've gotta hold the lever in just the right spot...and it rocks when you need...

Did you ever think that the ignition switch might be going bad? I had a FORD once that acted the same way and it was the key switch. R. Wink _____ From:...
Auto or manual, Kelly? and if it's manual, is there a clutch switch? /anyway On Toyotas (very similar) other than the starter contacts, the other issue is a...
Manaul. I've jumped the clutch anti-start switch as that kind of thing always gets in the way. When the key is turned, it reads no less than 11.8V, but that's...
