Thanks Lee Ive just purchased that one

I don’t use a trolley jack at all, but if you do, you need an adapter to stop the lip getting crushed.

Are these the adapters you speak of? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2X-Rubber-Pad-with-Slots-Hydraulic-Ramp-Jack-Jacking-Pad-Adapter-Trolley-Jack/133006035233?hash=item1ef7c70921:g:TaUAAOSwzMlcnZK1

Thanks thats good advice that I would not have been aware of, my garage only use tj's I dont remember seeing a scissor jack in the car but as there is no spare I wasnt worried (I thought I would just call AA if I get a puncture that I cant fix with a can of  punture repair) I hope there is one in the car. I assume that axel stands are okay? Thats another Point AA use tj's too

Yes I saw your profile, what car do you have? and you still havent said who it is that regases aircon?

If you need your air con serviced & re gassed, try this guy. I have used him & he is great. He comes to you. If I remember rightly, he is in Billingshurst. Good luck

Which guy?

Thanks for the reply Billingshurst is just up the road from where I work but I dare not take the 430 in to the office everyone will want a pay rise.

Normally they have a crimped stainless tie.
Plug in diagnosis, early models use the TIS (Toyota information system) later Standard OB2. The Lambda sensor could be faulty.
Good thing about Toyota is that most things are cheap and easy to fix

Thanks Darren, Mine is a 2000 yr model but it has the 16 pin plug though, so i assume its OBD2 Ive ordered a OBD 2 reader it will be here from Amazon tomorrow I will have a look at the codes before taking it to the garage.

Its been a while since I had my head under the bonnet of a car, I probably wont be fixing much of the oily bits myself on this one either. I was contemplating buying a trolley jack and some axel stands earlier, but I dont trust the cheap ones and I am not so sure that the expensive ones would get enough use to become an investment. My garage has a pit but I filled it with rubble after I fell in it and broke my arm (the wood on top was rotten) but knowing the fault ahead of the garage is worth £26.00.

Where are you located? maybe you're close to a fellow Owner, I can plug it in and have a look for you, but I fear I'm too far away for a simple visit. I'm in Essex near Basildon

Im Brighton in Sussex these seem a bit rarer down this way most owners seem to be up north, but your not a million miles from me, too far for a check though.  I do have a local garage that can plug in for me. I have seen that you can buy the plugins that work with smart phones quite cheaply, no idea if they are any good though. Hopefully the fault will be something simple like a Lamber sensor.
