Iky Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hi Michael, Unfortunately the little cog for the driver seat is not available separately. It's a very common problem. I remember reading somewhere about a guy on here making metal ones but not sure if he still does. Most people end up buying a used working drivers seat. About the dash, I need more info or photos of what it's got and how it's wired. About the radiator, If its not broken or leaking its should be fine with a gentle flush using a hosepipe. But otherwise OEM from Toyota is always best but a company called NRG cooling (or something on those lines) sell them for around £100 An auto one will also fit your manual. Look on ebay for the stereo/amp wiring kits. No need to rant fella, just be glad it's all simple stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carzymike1987 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 cheers pal :-) do you have any idea what they were called the guy or the cogs, I've seen a website think it might work bit don't wanna waste money if it's wrong, no the radiator doesn't leak or anything just pissed rusty water when I removed the hoses' ok rant over lol just been so annoyed with all the lol bits but when you start her it's just WOW always fall I'm love when I hear her Purrr :-D pics will follow tomorrow :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I've just had a metal cog made, you may need both sides doing though, I made do with just one there is someone on here who makes them Ike check my inbox soon after. Why don't you flush the rad as long as it's in an ok condition it should be fine, I would get a new water pump though. Markssupra for seat cogs I won't lie it's not cheap. But neither will a newer electric pack that may die in a few months as they will all eventually fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gpro Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 the radiator rusty water your mentioning might be radiator sealent like K-Seal it blocks all leaks but the water looks rusty when its actually copper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 There have been cheap seats on here that surely you could get for x amount and then strip for the bit you need if they are in worse visual condition. Try Keron as he may have some knackered seats he can salvage parts from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBDevelopments Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 i know a good machine shop, if someone can supply me with a good condition cog/cogs for both sides i can see how much they would charge me to make some metal ones. Just an idea for the club Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 mike, i recall it was about £30-40 as he made the jig for it. I would get a metal one rather than another partially worn gearing system. you can remove the runner screw from the slave side and just have one runner active works fine and theres no movement in the seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carzymike1987 Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Thank you every one again, A metal cog would be amazing I only need the right hand cog as the left was fine So lets move on to the issue with the back lighting this is what it looks like All the other lights are now working but still struggling with the lights that light up the dials I'm wondering if the circuit board has seen it's day as this is what it looks like once again any advice is good advice :-D Wondering if the solder is affecting the board??

There should be some bulbs on that PCB, i can't see any. If they are missing, replace them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT Paul Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 the wires that goes from black box to the top of your dials is the problem, should be a + - on black box which then powers up dials they look like the ones you slide over the needles.. from ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
