I have just bought a cheap van that will need a lot of work done to it. I am hoping to do this in my spare time in evenings and weekends. Is there a site or breakdown of all the parts, locations, what it looks like and how to replace it. I could easily google, but I need to know what some parts are first!
E.g. The front undercarriage, has a large, square, metal rigged part (i assume radiator cover?) that is pretty severely dented.
1 answer
Those vans are bullet proof but wear and tear has to be taken into account. Differential, brakes, belts, clutch if manual, gearbox, but nothing internal should fail is the normal for these.

what do you guys rekon fuel or diesel? and are there any outher faults or things like that i should know about?
3 answers
Depends on your distance, the petrol only comes in a 2 litre and diesel 3.0 turbo ZL model.
20 mins to work then round 30 min home
But will obviously be travelling further on weekends and such
I am considering the exact same thing with maybe a commuter or SLWB. Interested to know about parts and costs to compare to other, and also weighing up diesel and petrol.

Hi sir my toyota commuter 2016 has 150k km odo and t belt warning light showed on the dashbord.my question is it necesary to change a set of t belt with tensioner or t belt only?
1 answer
take it to a mechanic who will hook it up to a code scanner and give you an instant answer. if you do replace the timing belt, do the water pump at the same time and the tensioner pulley. If you dont and one of these fails it will cost just as much to repair. good luck matey

Hi,
We have a 2008 Hiace, the drivers seat is limiting for my husband due to health restrictions. Does anyone who owns a late model Hiace know if they have upgraded the drivers seat? I E we could buy a later model seat and have it fitted example lumbar support .
Thanks for your help.
2 answers
unfortunately the Hiace has changed little when it comes to seating and cab comfort. I removed the drivers seat and put a VN commodore drivers seat in instead and it made the world of difference.
Hi Yoshi
What year model is your Hiace is it a bus or Cargo Van.
Thanks for your help
Regards
Susan

I recently bought a Toyota Hiace 5L, 4WD Automatic Diesel ex-Japan second hand used as passenger bus. However, am told it's not pulling, even on a small incline. What could be the reason behind that?
