Greetings from the Caribbean!
Found an up / over rear back door, petrol, lhd LC (not sure what year) that's not run in a few years and keen to buy it!
Milage is 150000 kms but not sure if it's original. Looks like it though as the seats etc look in good shape.Cleaned the plugs, stuck some petrol in the tank & carb and she fired up. Motor sounds heathy & easy to start!
Petrol did not come through from the tank so difficult to keep going. When it did run for a few seconds, I engaged first & rear but vehicle did not move. Had no time to jack up the body to check if one or more wheels were stuck on the brakes or if it had a damaged prop / gearbox.
Q:
If it's not the brakes / prop / gearbox, what else could it be preventing it to move?
Also, one wiper motor arm is missing.
Q: Has the wiper motor got 2 arms attached or are they seperate?
Toyota used parts are VERY limited here!
Q: If the wiper motor is not repairable, is their another Toyota model or another Japanese car wiper motor that would fit if I took off the original wiper motor?
Any other buying tips would be most appreciated!
Many thanks.
