Are the controls on the steering wheel, or a column stalk?
If column, which side is it?
Where is the vacuum actuator mounted?
Does it have a seperate vacuum reservoir? |

Mines on a stalk just below the indicators, dont work though as mines an import & it's got something that makes the mileometer read in miles not kilometers & it stops the cruise working. |

Mine's connected to the steering column, right side just below the indicator stalk. Pretty sure it moves with the steering column. Stubby little knob that has an oblong push-button on the end of it. Can take a picture if you want. But don't know where actuator is located. _________________ Frederick (London SW15)

Thanks guys. As I'm going to keep mine (haraah) I was thinking of adding it. It would be nice to make it look as original as possible.
I think the actuator unit is electrical, rather than vacuum operated. You can get both aftermarket, but I prefer the vacuum ones as they're a bit smoother. The electrical ones can be a bit jerky I've found, though it's fair to say they've been aftermarket ones. The OEM one may well be better quality. There's a vacuum pump on the engine, but maybe Toyota went for electrical due to not much vacuum (unlike a petrol engine). |

Hi Dave, had a look at stuff in engine bay on R/H side just back from air filter. It's all electric, little electric actuator/ motor, and wiring. Mine also has a throttle position pottentiometer fitted on top of fuel injection pump. As it's a manual can only asume it has something to do with the cruise-control, although may be emissions control related. Whatever, I don't think it would be easey to retrofit from a breaker, maybe after market is way to go, as all the wireing is part of the main loom. |

I think the pot on top of the pump is for the EGR system,very similar to the system on the LR Disco. _________________ Phil

Thanks guys. I've got some details of aftermarket stuff, just want to make it look as factory as i can.
Shold be easy enough to fit, only need power etc, and a speedo signal and pulse number, and brake light signal. |
