Hi Guys, can anybody tell me if my TZ should have heated mirrors and if so, how to turn them on/off? It seems strange that such a well equipped vehicle should not have them. Also, should the rear blower provide heat? The slider switch on the rear of the centre consul has a blue(cold) and red(hot) setting but i cant get anything but cold air to blow from it. Any ideas on how these systems work and any common faults etc. would be much appreciated. Martyn

Come on guys. Surely, somebody must be able to help me out here. Also does anybody know where i can get a set of over mats (not rubber) to fit my Prado, as my present ones have long since seen better days. I've been scouring e bay for some time but not seen any the same shape as the ones i have now, although some claim to fit 98-03 colorado's. Will they? Any help appreciated. Martyn.

Hi,
I'm fairly sure that the TZ does not have heated mirrors - but I'm not sure on the age of yours [the newer models may have????]
As for the rear heater I've little help to offer, but I think the blower and heater core for the rear are located under the center consol and front seats [which need to be removed to gain access].

If you're getting plenty of heat up front then I would think that there could be an obstruction in the coolant hoses to the rear heater core or the heater core itself.

That would mean a back flush but I couldn't help there.
Hopefully someone can supply more info for you.
Cheers

You should have two small pipes that branch off from the main heater pipes, have a look at the bulkhead under the bonnet, remove these pipes and try and flush the heater core with a high pressure hose, also check the slider control wires have not come off inside the centre console.
