Re: Yet another tire question - TOYO Tires

I have Toyo Observe Gsi5 (215/65R17) on my J10 and am very pleased with their life expectancy. Now at 30k miles and expect at least another 10k. This my third set of Toyos, and on previous Suzuki Vitaras got about 43k miles before down to 3mm. all round with a little rotation. Least impressive is co...

Re: Air con passenger side warm

Memory not what it used to be, I think both dials set to "Hi" is correct... I have edited previous posts. Hope that's correct. ;)

Re: Air con passenger side warm

Yes, that sounds right. Switch the ignition on once when the actuator is loose so the cogs line up right on refitting. This is my understanding of their working, the cogs on the heater are sprung to the hot setting. Hope it goes well.

Re: Air con passenger side warm

Two screws. Fix could be, if you're lucky, to set both dials to "Hi", remove the actuator, and replace it. It is situated partly over the cover for the pollen filter. The cogs should then line up correctly. (if you're lucky...;) )

Re: Battery Ground Cable Not Connected?!?

Sorry not to be more helpful, but on my J10 the heavy earth leads down in front of the battery tray through a narrow crack beside the inner wing, and it would take a fair bit of dismantling to find the ultimate destination. That's the starting point though. Best of luck.

Re: Dual climate control problem

If you remove the actuator, then with the ignition on, on turning the temperature control you should see action. Just begin, and end on Hi before replacing, so the cogs line up correctly. Good luck.

Re: Dual climate control problem

Changing the pollen filter may require removing the actuator which is positioned by two screws. If heater is not set on Hi both sides before removal, the actuator will not have the cogs correctly aligned causing problems.
