  1. Amayama.com is a good source - delivery from Japan is slow though.
  2. That looks like it could be fabricated quite easily - is there a local engineering firm that could do it perhaps?
  3. It's called a welcab so you could try searching for that.
  4. This thread (and others like it) may help:
  5. Just a guess but I would assume that is the reversing view - have you tried putting it into reverse gear?
  6. You could start with a 'We will be at this pub / park / whatever on this date between times - hope to see other owners for a chat.' If you find somewhere to keep yourself occupied for a few hours and see what happens. Only a thought.
  7. Does the word on the button ('Blatz'?) return anything on an internet search? I thought I would take a look - this might be helpful it's from a company called Blitz. Quote from That's the control button for a Blitz throttle controller. It basically works like the eco/pwr buttons in a gen 3. If it is hooked up and working, you can probably press it a few times to cycle through the behaviors of the throttle pedal. https://www.reddit.com/r/prius/comments/dmana8/what_is_this_bl_tz_button_on_the_left_side_of_the/ (https://www.blitz.co.jp/products/throcon/smathro.html) and looks to be a throttle controller. Looks like you need to be driving for you to see what it does (if anything - the rest may have been removed on export / import) but I would guess it swaps between Sports / Eco / Normal throttle response curves.
  8. Just a thought - the rear has it's own air con system. You can set it by pressing the 'Rear' button on the dashboard heat controls - circled on my 10 series. i know it's basic but I thought I would check. Press the button and then set temp and fan speed etc. for the rear.
  9. I found a local auto-locksmith who were able to read the frequency of my current key. I then bought a couple of matching blanks of the correct frequency range from the e-bay and they were able to cut and program them. It was a bit tricky as they needed to get a particular set up as the JOBD port didn't supply the correct voltage to their programmer. They got there in the end though.
  10. I doubt it will be there but if I were find one I would treat it like a firework. If your garden is big enough put it on a paving slab, barbecue or something and light it and stand back.
  11. Maybe not rockets, but you should check the front passenger foot-well for a road-flare - that should have been removed on import.
  12. Have you tried it on another vehicle? Also, to cover the basics, you need to have the engine running.
  13. My 2005 doesn't have indicators on the wing mirrors - I suspect they are for a later model.
  14. There is a second lambda sensor further down the exhaust - best to have the car on ramps for that, so it could be that, though I would expect a code to indicate the issue. Other things to check are the air filter, MAF, coolant levels and, just in case, the battery connections. As the temps are warmer get a JOBD compatible scanner (check the forums for suggestions), read, note down and then clear any existing codes, go for a drive - at least 10 mins to get it warmed up and when the EML lights up try the scanner again. I'm sure others will be along with suggestions but if temperatures are the key then this time of year gives plenty of testing opportunities.
