May I suggest getting rid of the K&N and putting a paper filter back in. K&N or similar filters don't play well with MAF sensors. The oil out of the filter creates a film on the sensor, causing it to read incorrectly, particularly if the filter is over oiled. If you choose to keep it make sure it's not over oiled and make sure you clean the MAF regularly, I would say at least every 5,000Km. If the oil is left on the sensor it can build up a tarnish which is very hard if not impossible to clean off without damaging the sensor. Good work on learning to service it yourself though.[LEFT]Silver 150 Facelift

On another note. Put in the repco knockoff version of the Bosch wipers today. Absolutely brilliant (although expensive for all 3). So much better than OEM! Now just need to find some hilux sprayers!

The only reason for a bonnet scoop is looks, IMO.

Installed LED internal lights bought from PP suggestions from here: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261940065...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
However, two door lights and one back door light would not work. No problem with circuit as they were working at the time.
Have to return them. Despite that am very pleased with the results - specially the map lights.Terry

For my 2003 Grande I got a Locksmith to fit me the new type flip key with the original unlock/lock transponder chip inside. No more key scratching my cell phone!!
A few days prior I got the ole 1KZ dyno tuned (has a Steinbauer chip plus 2.75" Beaudesert Exhaust). From the wheels it got tuned from @72KW to a now 81KW. They also adjusted the boost to lean off fuelling as it was running really rich..so it's now got a manual boost controller.
Boost gone from 10 psi to 12 psi, seems to run a lot better now and a few days earlier the original steel cable winch was removed from the alloy bar which must have weighed around 30 kgs!!! I'll put this in the 'For Sale' when I work out what bits go where...it's truly a monster though, the cars suspension bounces more as a consequence though as there is more travel in the shocks??[SIZE=1]03 TD 120 Grande, L&R weathershields, f&r deflectors, Sov bar Amts rad b.pl, TJM front B.P, Uniden UH7760NB Kaymar LED worklight, ARB 47l, lifestyle rack & Milford C.
