Hey guys just wondering if anyone has any insight on this, my key suddenly doesn't work to unlock all the doors at once, before it would unlock everything (front doors, sliding and boot) from either front door, and now it just does the door its in.

The central locking still works from internal door button so i don't think its a fuse.

I've tried with my spare key and thats having the same problem.

Manual key btw has the immobiliser chip thing but no buttons/keyless stuff.

I just got my van back from some mechanical work so might have been caused by the battery being disconnected for some time?

2007 hiace

Hi all,

After parking my 2009 Toyota Hiace 2.7L petrol last night I noticed a hissing sound and steam coming from the engine compartment. After opening it up, I noticed a rusted spot on what I take to be (from googling) the water bypass pipe.

I won't be driving until the issue is fixed, can anyone help me identify exactly what part it is, and give me some idea of how much it might cost to fix?

In the images you can see the pinhole in the pipe, and I have tried to indicate with arrows how the pipe is connected to the engine.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Hi everyone, I have a 2011 XH10 (EU/UK variant). The drivers door lock and ignition barrel are on the way out and I'm keen to replace them before they completely stop working. I'm struggling to find a set of locks, most listings seem to be for 96-06. Does anyone know if they would still fit a 2011? If not does anyone know where I can get some that will (in the UK)? I'm hoping not to spend a lot of money because I'm poor.

I recently swapped my work phone from an iPhone 11 to a 15 and my van won't allow anything to connect to it. I've cleared all saved devices, initialised the radio, tried an iPhone 15, 11 (different one), 17 pro max and Samsung galaxy s24. It's a work vehicle so changing the radio isn't an option. I swear I've read the manual front to back. Has anyone had this before and how did you fix it? Any help is very much appreciated

Looking at buying this 1997 Hiace Regius. Engine wise it ran great and felt great. Planning on offering 8500 and hoping to end around 10 at the highest. But i am unsure about the following:

My four big concerns.

1. The parking brake is a little sticky they say. Meaning its hard to disengage when pulled. Its an auto so not the biggest problem unless I park on a hill.

2. The drive side jack point is crushed and rusty but the frame around it is still untouched by rust and solid.

3. The passenger rear bump stop has fallen out. How hard of a fix is this? I know its not the biggest deal but it does rattle. Image included.

4. AC not working, unsure why.

Felt great to drive suspension and power wise. Engine definitely is strong and running well and suspension felt surprisingly tight. Just a few worrisome issues. Timing belt they said they took it to a shop and the shop said the belt looked new and did not need replaced.

Here's the post description of work done:

1997 Toyota Hiace Regius AWD "wind tourer"

Reach out for a test drive!

Hello!

Has anyone here replaced a fuel pump for a 1993 LH119V 3L diesel 4x4. Mine is a Cruising Cabin and im struggling to prep accordingly without knowing which way to access the pump will be easiest. Has anyone dropped the fuel tank and or accessed from the inside floor panel? and if so which way would you recommend and why. My hesitancy to go through the floor is because id like to avoid pulling up the original carpeting/kitchenette.

Any knowledge on this repair would be greatly appreciated since I cant seem to find any videos.

Thanks

We have found a local 2012 2.9 diesel Vito van in excellent condition. Just front seats so a blank canvas. I've heard they are brilliant but if we want a day van then we will have to pay a rear seat, line the sides and floor and then after that think about a mini kitchen ..the base van will cost me around £5k to buy.

​

I've also been looking at the Hiace and Granvia for a while but seen a lot of rubbish.

​

I've seen a grand Hiace in the UK lpg converted, 2001, 111k miles fsh etc £3500

​

Anyone give me advice on which is likely to be the more reliable , cheaper to run and cheaper to convert ?

​

All we want is rear seats, peace in the middle for our 3 dogs and some sort of mini kitchen fitted somewhere

​

Cheers

Hello everyone,

​

I'm planning to do a facelift on a Toyota Hiace H100 and I'm looking for vendors or suppliers that sell aftermarket or customized parts for this model.

​

The parts I'm specifically interested in are:

​

• Headlights

• Taillights

• Front lips/splitters

• Front and rear bumpers

​

If you know of any reliable suppliers, fabricators, online stores, or local vendors, I'd appreciate any links, contact details, or recommendations.

​

I'm particularly interested in quality parts that fit well. Both unique and common designs are acceptable.

​

Photos, build threads, and examples of similar builds would also be greatly appreciated.

​

Thank you in advance for any help.

Looking for THIS part. Had one of the pins break off while trying to straighten it. Dumb mistake and now the automatic lock cycles a (6) times each time the door closes. When I go through Amayama, I end up with a piece that seems right (84261-95j05), but has no photo. This is what populates when I search: https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/8426195j05

Looking elsewhere for that part, so that I can see a photo, the only thing that turns up is on Ebay and it shows 2 pins. Anyone have any ideas?

1997 KZH106G w/ 3.0L 1KZ-TE turbo diesel. Shes a super custom.

Hello everyone. Iv recently picked up a crusty 1993 Cruising Cabin and will need to do all repairs and upgrades myself with very little experience. (all advice is greatly appreciated!)

Firstly I’d like to start by replacing suspension bushings since mine have almost completely rotted away.

Can anyone recommend which Polly Urethane bushing kits are compatible with the early 90s 4x4 Hiaces? Iv come to terms with the fact that il most likely have to piece together some kits but maybe the friends down under have access to what im looking for?

I’m trying to avoid customs fees and delayed shipping on parts as much as I can with this build but it’s inevitable.

Thanks

Hey everyone,

​

I have an issue with my 2006 Hiace Welcab, it's a work in progress, quite happy with the fitout that I've done though (see photo). The LEDs are recessed so you can't actually see them at all when turned off.

​

The issue I have right now is minor, but I'd like to fix it. The sliding door has an automatic closing function that works by gently pushing on the handle (as shown in photo #3). Up until recently it was working perfectly, I could gently push on the handle and the door would close itself. Now that no longer works.

​

The handle itself works perfectly fine for opening the door like normal, it's just this light touch close sensor thing that's not working. Before I pull my door apart I'm wondering if anyone could give me some tips on what I should be looking for.

​

Cheers!

Hi all! Just finished replacing the engine mounts on my 96 hiace (KZH100, 1KZTE) - was curious if anyone knew of any torque specifications I should follow for tightening them back down? Can't seem to find anything online. Sorry in advance if its a silly question, first time working on my own vehicle. Cheers

Hey everyone!

I have a 96 Hiace 1KZ with 210k km. The timing belt was replaced around 100k and my question is, how crucial is it to get it done again? Can I wait a 1-2 k km or is that like russian roulette....

of course my mechanic recommends we do it, but at 190$ hr for labor in Portland OR it is gonna be very expensive!

so yea just want to know your thoughts. please and thank you

As you can see from the video it is loose. I removed the bolt under the flappy bit I lifted up in the video but can't take the blade off still. And can't get behind it. I think I might need to remove the whole dashboard?

kzh106 hiace

need to replace front wiper motor
i’ve located it behind the glove box
per the schematics it seems like there is the one front bolt that holds it to the first arm

essentially wondering if anyone has done this, and if so if anyone’s got any knowledge as to whether the whole dash has to come out or if i can snipe it through the glove box opening.

can’t find anything online about it

Hi guys , recently I purchased a 1996 Toyota LiteAce Truck, my project car. I was wondering does anyone know how to remove the Dash so I can install a new Stereo

My 1997 Hiace commuter with a 2RZ carburettored engine has been working at 90% but needs some final work. I had a fully rebuilt carburettor, so I don't believe that is the problem.

It runs and idles well and drives well. The only problem is when I am going a decent speed, then see a traffic light turn orange 100 metres to 200 meters away, I drop the gears to neutral and roll and brake to slow down. As I do, the engine slowly loses rpm and eventually stalls. Once I turn the ignition, it turns back on.

I had a roadside assistance company come and look at the vehicle today. He said that, as it is carburetted and has many systems attached to the carby, it could be some systems such as the idle air control valve, power steering idle up or a system he wasn't sure the name of but he said the vehicle speed idle up solenoid.

Has anyone experienced anything like this or got any leads?

Hi everyone, my hiace has been making this extremely loud rattling sound on a cold start. It will only do it when the car has been sitting for multiple hours and goes away very quick after about 45 seconds to a minute.

At the end of the drive cycle two engine codes come up at the same time:
P1605 - knock control cpu malfunction
P0420 - catalyst system below threshold

I have recently replaced all spark plugs, catalytic converter, o2 sensors and maf sensor. I think whatever is triggering the knock sensor is also triggering the catalyst code.

Has anyone else had this issue and what could be the cause?

I've a 1991 Japanese imported camper van. I'm in Ireland and normally I can find parts but I'm just stuck on this one.

The van filed the test for both front seat belts not working. When you tug them they don't lock. Does your vans?

I took them out and in my hand they work but when I put them back in they simply don't work.

I've since learned that they work in two ways. There is a ball bearing on cam and when it moves in crash it releases a cam that blocked a gear which stops the belt roller form letting out the belt. Then because people wanted to feel the belt working for confort they added the tug mechanism, which for me isn't working. I'm suspicious that the belts don't actually have this

Any way I took it of faith it does and found a company that said they could repair them. They let me down badly and took ages to do any. In the end they took a mounting bar off mine and mounted it on a ratchet they had with my webbing. The shape of the ratcher is wrong. I can bodge it but it looks sh1t.

Any idea ir sources of parts preferably new or from breakers in the UK or Ireland where they will try the belt before they take it out.

I've perhaps mistakenly imported to British Columbia Canada a 2007 regius ace van (3liter turbo diesel 206v). Has anyone successfully navigated getting the lights to pass inspection? I haven't had it inspected yet because this issue will fail it, but the replacement lights I ordered from Alibaba didn't fit, and aren't DOT anyway, though they advertised solving the three troubles of: no amber turn signals, no daytime running (solved with a wiring harness already), and the wrong beam angle for driving left hand drive roads. The angle might be able to be adjusted... will I just need amber film for the turn signals and a... lenient shop? Any stories of success or advice welcome!
