When I bought my energy suspension kit from Garvin's Performance, he had some old bushing with the pins for $150 for sale. Then again those guys in the Bamboo might sell yuh busted cradle arm for around a $350.

Hearing a very similar noise only when i go over small bumps in the road predominantly on the right side front of car. How did you narrow it down to this? Local 2010 crolla.

Any help will be appreciated.

I would be grateful if you could advise who sells the universal
AC switch for the 2007 NZE 141 fielder wagon, Can you also advise on
cost and what kind of professional would be able to install this in my
vehicle? Could you also advise where I could get my AC switch fixed?

I am not familiar with these things at all, this is my first time
looking for parts.

Thanking you,

You can probably check the AC guy behind grand bazzar on the road that takes you back onto the highway. You may have to call around a few places in the bamboo like bobby's, dollar savers, etc for the universal switch.

Hey people, there are quite a few car groups and i am a member of 3 -
Toyota Nation TT (TNTT)
Trinidad and Tobago Toyota Association (TTTA)
Corolla Crew TT (CCTT)

All groups are cool, each with similar goals and structures. They all offer advice, have whatsapp/facebook groups, have admins, plan meetings at various locations, organise and attend car shows/events and have official stickers.

The older fielder wagons are robust workhorses. The newer ones have some lemons with people having transmission issues etc. But again, its a case by case basis. Parts are not very expensive for the 121 models. The 2006 and up models may be more costly but I can't say for certain.

If your headlights (lenses) in good condition,do a retrofit and paint your housing.better bang for the buck!

I have a 2001 NZE 121R (FU Singapore). I've had the car for 14 years with no major AC issues other than replace the evaporator probably 7 years ago.

Took it for an engine wash (was getting it valued nuh) - next thing AC acting up.
Right now I have it on the coldest setting and the lowest speed. One minute it is working. Next minute it is not. Does not matter the time of day. If I fiddle with the settings (especially the temperature) though it will stop working.

I drove to town from Trincity for 4 days at 8 in the morning - it worked every day. The 5th day, it worked up to Aranguez. As soon as I started to accelerate out of the traffic that was it. It stopped. If I turn it off, give it a 10 minutes I can switch it on and it will work again. Drove from Sando to Trincity at night it was like the north pole in the car. Made the same drive last night - and it worked for 15 minutes and konk out

Gassed, checked for leaks etc. - worked for 1 day
Went to electrician - said it's the relay. Replaced the relay - it worked for a grand total of about 5km before it stopped working
Went back to electrician - oh, it's not the relay (I put back my ORIGINAL 13 year old relay), the clutch not kicking in on the compressor so default response - replace compressor
When the engine is cold, and I turn on the AC the fan starts
And when it is working you are hearing the compressor coming on and off.

Any ideas other than the default, easiest answer 'replace compressor'?
