1984 Toyota Van LX review from North America
"Great deal for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced sliding glass window.
Rear door lock sticks due to dirt build up on the action. Easy fix though.
Replaced ball joints.
Ran hot. Replaced thermostat.
Speedometer cable broke. $10 fix.
Power steering pump leaks bad. Easy to get to, and the rebuild kit is only $12 bucks.
Beware of the latch that holds the seat up when you access the engine. They have a tendency to break.
Front blower motor will not turn on. If you know why. Please e-mail me at 2fast@cableone.net Thanks.
General comments?
My wife really loves this van. I was not feeling the same way when I bought it for her, but now I really love it too.
I bought this van for $500 bucks and began working on it right away. Now that everything is fixed, I wouldn't sell it. The only thing that I am still having trouble with is the front blower for the air conditioning and heater.
Thanks for reading my review.
