Toyota Granvia Questions

[raymundo]

Hello All

I've just bought a 1995 Granvia 3-litre turbo diesel and would be very grateful for any help on a number of matters.

The manual recommends cleaning/replacing the aircon filter, but doesn's say where the darn thing is and I can't find it. Anyone know?

I've seen several adverts for mph speedo faces, but can anyone recommend a supplier, as prices vary a lot and quality seems to go from paper overlay to full plastic replacement. At what age does the SVA require this change - should my supplier have done it?

Does anyone know of a site, or other source, for a full description, preferably with diagrams, of the fuel-injection system? There are sensors and ECU-thingies all over the place and I'd like to know what they're for! This isn't just curiosity, either, as I make my own fuel from used vegetable oil and need to know if any sensors would have problems with this diet. I've read various comments about problems with "these electronically controlled diesel systems", but without details of the problems or the makes of system concerned.

I also need a source of curtain hooks and poppers, as several of mine have crumbled to dust. Any advice will be gratefully received.
