4. The ECU. This can be reset and re-learnt (re-calibrate). This is normally only done if you replace a part, but I did it on mine anyway given it's 20 years old.


How do you reset and re-calibrate the ECU ? I did change the SMT fluid and it worked well for about 65km from home. After that distance the gearbox (in 5th) started to have hick-ups, shifted to 4th. When I left the highway, it shifted to 1st and never went beyond 1st. On the way back sometime I ran to 5500 rpm in 1st and shifted to neutral to let the car roll. Then it would not shift back to 1st until I had to fully stop, Then I could  shift to 1st again, and do that again and again. Most of the time I was just driving in 1st, mostly around 2500-2800 rpm hitting around 25 km/h

Maintenance, Problems & Troubleshooting / Re: Hard brake lines- options?...

Quote from: jvanzyl on July 21, 2026, 14:14So- if we need to replace the brake lines due to them no longer being non leaking.. What are the options?

There's no where in the UK that I can see that sell them? Tried ringing TCB but their phones don't seem to connect anymore..

Is it basically a case of remaking them myself?
That was the conclusion I came to. Short of getting them from Toyota.
I bought a big roll of copper tubing, connectors, bending tool and flaring tool...then never did it LOL

Quote from: SurreyMR2 on July 18, 2026, 20:32I was in a situation where a new Range Rover was in front of me and put car in reverse, thought it was going drive right over me. Beeped the original toy town horn but don't think it heard me. I think the the cars auto braking kicked in or he saw me in the camera and he stopped. Scared me though!

Bought kit below and I now have a horn that actually works  8)

Are they direct swap or some wiring needs doing?
