Having had a look at the v belts that drive the alternator it is not obvious how they are tightened. I was expecting the usual set up of a bolt on the alternator.

Also does anyone know where i can get a workshop manual, it is a 1999 100 4.2td.

Regards,

Rohan

Toyota will sell you work shop manual, generaly one for chassis & body and one for engine, they are expensive, but at least you know its right for your vehicle and ifyou do a couple of small jobs yourself instead of dealer will pay you back many times over. I'm interested in what you think of your 100 cruiser as thinking of updateing my 80 Smile

The 100 seems less sturdy and more wallowy thanks to the different suspension, it is more refined but as my old 80 had been van aaken optimised the new 100 seemed much more sluggish. I( got it chipped the other day and there is a massive improvement.

Other than that the interior is much improved as are the brakes and other things.

May I suggest caution, if any belt needs tightening there is only one reason and that is that the belt is stretched and worn. For the cost of a new belt at least there is less risk of it breaking, and this happens at the most inconvienent time like on a motorway.

Alway replace any belt againt adjusting to be safe.

You were dead right, the two belts were knackered so had them all changed for peace of mind even though the t belt was only 40k old.

That's how it is.   There is a set-bolt at the front, and the actual adjuster is on the side.  Only a tad difficult to spot, and even harder to get to.   And your fore-arms will look like you've tightened the fan belt of a lion.
Did it the other day.

Don't forget the number of miles a car has done doesn't mean anything where belts are concerned. For a stupid example but brings the point home, a car engine can  be running  all day and all night week in week out and not move, however the belts are doing their job and getting worn, yet the car hasn,t moved an inch.
