TOM Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 Hi guys, I was at just wrecking Toyota's at Wingfield in Adelaide today and just asked the question about 7K motors. They said they are readily available complete with wiring loom etc for $750. Correct me if I'm wrong but that seems quite reasonable? Anyway I'm just putting it out there for everyone - hope this is helpful to someone. Question regarding KE70 tacho dash... I found 2 nice low kilometre ones with digital clocks in auto KE70's at U-Pull-It in Elizabeth (they have a dozen KE70's and AE71's). Will a tacho dash with digital clock from an auto KE70 go straight into my manual KE70 with it's big ugly clock? Are the tacho wires (and power for the digital clock) already there in a non-tacho dash KE70? Would appreciate any advice... Cheers, Tom Quote
7shades Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 Tacho dash is plug n play. All the plugs and wiring are there already. Quote
TOM Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Posted January 19, 2008 Awesome, thanks very much 7shades! Quote

Medicine_Man Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 As said the tacho works straight off, I had a problem with the digital clock though. Everything in the dash wash there for it but it didn't work, worked in the previous car. About a year ago in this thread someone had a solution, can't remember what it was (I scrapped the car for parts, so I never bothered fixing the fault). Was it fitted in a panelvan? From what I've heard the panelvans wiring is a tad different.. Quote
TOM Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Posted January 20, 2008 Thankyou all, job done! Was it fitted in a panelvan? From what I've heard the panelvans wiring is a tad different.. Cheers Medicine Man I think you are right, panel vans are a bit different... It was in a sedan Digital clock works, as you guys said, plug'n'play! :D $35, lower k's than my old dash, sweet! Quote

Medicine_Man Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 Yeah it is very easy to swap your original one in if you want.. Quote

Rollaboy2608 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 You'd have to be a fool to use Kms to judge the condition of a corolla anyway Agreed, its just like some of these import skylines and the like that come here with under 100k on the clock. Gimme a break! everyone knows the japanese keep all the good cars, and send the old, high km cars over! Quote
