I HAVE LIGHTS!!.......just not how they should be :( Cut out the burnt thick red/red-yellow wires going into the back of the fuse box, rejoined and new spade connector. plugged it back on, switched on the ignition, nothing, no dash lights, all electrics dead......worse than before, at least it was r...

OK, thanks very much, I'll carry on fiddling.
cheers.

Thanks guys, yep, you were right bigherb, 100W bulbs. The feed wire is burnt adjacent to the spade connector that plugs onto the fuse box.

The 94-95 1Z is pretty much unknown but doesn't appear to h...

I'm planning an engine swap for my jx syncro which is very tired. I've got a 1Z and an AHU in dead golf estates at home. Does anyone have views on which engine would be best for the transplant?

Maybe the owner is too...that's why it's on a trailer

I'll be a shame when the listing ends, whenever i feel sad and in need of a good laugh...

could do the trailer at the same time.....matching like....nice little combo!

I'd love to but it's not my colour...
