How are we all, i'm Mike form New Zealand and have not long brought a UZZ30 in ok condition . I am absolutely addicted to these cars now ,but having failed a few things for a W.O.F it has been a hell of a time getting everything sorted out but managed to pass .
Going for this W.O.F has recognised a couple of problems that I got away with .Finding parts here in nz hasn't been easy with only some parts available .Things i need to replace the dash cluster ,the LCD screen for air con and bits for the rear brake light module . I've searched hard on here on how to bypass the module with no luck thus far. To be fair i would've been fairly stuffed if I had not found this site so thanks to everyone for all the information

Cheers Evan I have no tow bar fitted . I have read somewhere that it can be the resistors or something in the module but have very little knowledge of electronic components .I will get a sparky to test that for me as all lights are working fine as they are all new bulbs . The power steering pump isn't leaking onto the alternator but another hose is but fluid is not reaching the alternator . I had a mate put a voltage meter on when car was going and it only read around 12 so I figure the alternator is buggered .

cheers guys so far i have replaced the brushes and the regulator and still it will not charge the battery . i suspect some faulty wiring because its old and brittle as . i am thinking of renewing all the old wiring but not sure how to go about it just yet. another thing is the 7.5amp fuse for the panel just keeps blowing and i can not figure this out any ideas would be much appreciated as my patients is wearing thin .
