Trace the light wiring, it is probably wired incorrectly, you did not stipulate whether the engine is diesel or petrol, either way the wiring sounds like it is wrong.

email me at [email protected] and I will send you out the instructions with pics for this repair.

there is a restrictor in the filler neck to stop fuel leaking if the car turns over,the downside is that you cannot use autofill pumps,you have to fill at a lesser amount or it will shut off the pump.no fix for this im afraid.(see beetle fuel filling problems)bye the way,no autofill available in europe or japan.

Unplug vacuum hose and any electrical connectors, then use wrench to remove the tube that goes to exhaust and if this one has 2 bolts, remove them. Reverse to replace. Some times, the nut to exhaust is rusted on and a torch is needed to help break it loose.

unfortunately, this is a security measure added to most manufacture radios today

if you are lucky and have the original paper work in the glove box you should find the radio code

otherwise, if you talk nicely to your local dealer and tell them how much you love your car and the factory radio, they may unlock it for you....Make sure you tell them you would HATE to replace it with an aftermarket radio, but if you have to pay $100 for the code that is what you are going to do.


Keep us posted and let us know if you have any luck at the dealer

It sounds like either your front shocks or your rotors

my records don't show the 97 Land Cruiser as having a imobilizer, where was the car made

that switch is behind the lockcilinder of the ignitionswitch. so behind your key in de drection of the steeringcolum
