Hiace Regius - New Purchase

[Mark Norton]

Hi Folks..New to the TOC.

I have just bought a 1997 Hiace Regius Wind Tourer. It is brilliant but I need help on a couple of things...

1. Is there an English manual I can buy? I cannot figure how the heating control works!! I either get high-heat or nothing... Also when the aircon is on, I get a screeching from the engine bay (Belt slipping??).

2. Is there an engine manual. I assume that as the 3.0l is in Landcruisers, I could use one of these manuals (Haynes type). I want to carry out oil changes..etc ...etc ...

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Cheers

Cheers,

I have a toyota hiace regius 1998 grey import only been in the uk for 7 years it's in immaculate condition inside and out.
The only thing we have a problem with is the radio aerial can only pick up BBC radio 2 and navigation system is in Japanese
Can anybody help ??????
We love this vehicle as we have 2 children and it's perfect for travelling in.
I would love to know more about the hiace regius if anybody could help...eg insurance we find that not a lot of insurance companys will insure them????

You cannot change the sat nav to English, the vehicle was built for Japanese market, hence in Japanese. You could change the head unit to something with built in sat nav for a reasonable price. I suspect there is also an antenna issue if you are only picking up very strong signals
