Hi
Can anyone tell me where the thermostat is on a 2.4 efi engine please?

Engine starts fine and gets hot but the temp guage won't move - need to see if any wires have gone awol. Also where is the fuse box?

Sorry to be so dumb chaps.

The thermostat housing should be on the top at the end of the top hose, maybe someone has removed the stat, and the temp sender is mounted in the stat housing.

Thanks for the directions - only just getting to griops witha whole new engine layout after being a landy man for years?

Can you buy the stat if missing from toyota or is a special unit do you know?

Also can anyone point me to the fuse box incase its that. Sounds daft but I looked for ages and couldn't find anything LOL

If you have a 70 then have a look at the side of the drivers footwell, just by the hinge side of the door, on the "wall" forward of the pedals. There should be a grey plastic panel. Pop it out and the fuse box is underneath.

I couldn't find it either and it was driving me bonkers.

My 78 year old father found it in 10 minutes!!

Regards,
Gus

I spent for ever searching in every place ive ever known a fuse box to be only to remain dumb founded. I aint got a haynes etc yet as the Prado aint officialy mine yet as ive got to fit a new turbo and get her an MOT. Hope she passes as she certainly lloks good knck, always worry about brakes etc tho?

Mine is a 1991, and so far as I recall, I only have one cig lighter socket, in the front and none in the back. It is possible there could be one in the rear of the centre console.

I'm afraid I can't check because my 70 is currently in my home garage in Scotland and I am working in Australia.

Fuse box on a 70 series is to be found on the right hand side of the driversfootwell. It is behind the removeable plastic cover
