No so much a question, but some advice to owners of standard 80 series wagons (
barn door type)
The rear lift-up plastic handle is definitely a weak point, as I found out in
Broome, but the replacement part lists as the WHOLE unit, number-plate lights and all, at around $180.00! Never fear.. be persistent because you CAN buy the assembly minus the lights for around $48.00, and it takes only a couple of minutes to fit your lights in and install into the rear door.
Get your dealer to ring up, say Patterson Cheney in
Melbourne to supply this if they don't stock it. (
Broome toyota couldn't supply this to me, but the local(excellent)
Broome wreckers got me the genuine part up from
Perth...couldn't work that out, but boy was I astonished!
