Nathan from Kenya,
Got my 35th edition GX110 about 6 months ago. Highway trips have seen about 13-14km/l, and in town should be about 9km/l. For the guys in Nairobi, have any of you done tuning to our conditions and fuel? i.e. our altitude and different fuel RON setting.
Want to swap my DVD ROM with a Sony DVD headunit. Any custom wiring needed, or is it a straight swap?
PS: Sweet ride!

In addition to the 12 August 2011 contribution, I suggest you use VK16 Iridium spark plugs from Denso; diamond pointed, they can last up to 100,000 km before changing.

I recently bought a Blit GX110-2004 model. The consumption is pathetic - 5KM/Litre. Any advice from other owners?

Take it for service. You will be surprised, especially if the spark plugs are old. Check toyodiy.com to get specific OEM part numbers.

Hi,
The issue with those plugs is that not only are they expensive, but our fuel quality will not help you realize their potential. Best practice is to put in those that are OEM, instead of putting money into a sinkhole.

Hi Mark II fans.
I'm a big fan of station wagons, and the Mark II station wagon (the Blit) has caught my eye.
Does anyone have info on the availability of spare parts and the fuel efficiency of this nice looking vehicle?

I have a Toyota Mark II Grande 2003 model. It's giving a problem of dripping petrol into the oil sap, hence consuming more fuel. The spark plugs are always wet. It's not pulling in drive. What could be the problem?

Hi Sunjay.
I am from Pakistan.
I have a Mark 2 Regalia 2002, and I am in love with the machine. The only problem I face is knocking when I accelerate. Sometimes it starts to knock to the extent that the engine check light starts displaying, and sometimes it just goes away i.e. no knocking at all. As I accelerate, the knock disappears, and restarts when I accelerate the car from stop.
I've had every thing checked, but no issue found. Can you help in this..
Regards, Ameer.

Dear Mr.Ammer.
Issues such as the 'Knocking' experienced by you are sometimes caused by the fuel used. Please check the type of fuel used and its quality. These vehicles are supposed to be run on unleaded fuel.
If the knocking persists, have your spark plugs checked checked/cleaned, and if necessary, replaced with genuine parts. Then, preferably, check the condition of the fuel filter, and if necessary, change the fuel filter to a new one - this too with Toyota parts.
Hopefully you will notice a change!
Best Regards, Sanjay.

Hi everybody, I'm Soe Thein Tin from Mandalay, Myanmar.
I'm now using a Mark II, 2003.
From the previous owner, I only could get the owner's manual in Japanese. So can anybody send me the owner's manual in English? I will be so thankful for your help. My contact mail address is ghostpearl@gmail.com
With thanks, Soe Thein Tin.

Hi Mark 2 owners.
I just acquired a JZX 110. It's a nice thing to drive around in. The year of manufacture is 2002. The only problem is the manuals are in Japanese, and the TV screen is also in Japanese. I request you send me manuals in English. My email is bobngandurich@yahoo.com.
Best regards,
Richard (from Zambia)

The smoke in the morning is normal, because the engine is cold during that time. Otherwise, the car is very much OK.
I wish I had my own Toyota Mark 2 Grande Limited; I would be very happy.

I want to swap the GX110 engine with the JZX110. Any mods needed to perform this?

I'm driving a TOYOTA MARK II GRANDE (D4). Can someone send me the manuals in English, and also may I know any common problems associated with this car?
My email address is fbream@gmail.com.

D40 engines are not good at all. You will have to fuel at Shell or Total only. It requires clean fuel, otherwise it will knock.

I bought a Mark 2 Blit recently. It was running perfectly, but three days ago it just lost its drive, it won't rev above 2000 revs, and its speed won't go above 45km/hr. What could be the problem?
Have checked the pump, injector driver and throttle sensor, and all seem to be OK. Please help.

What is the difference between a Grande and a Grande Regalia in a Mark II car?
How to know if it's a Regalia or not?

The fog lamps on a Mark II Grande were mainly designed to give you visibility when making a right or left turn when cornering.

Hello to you all Mark II lovers.
I bought the Grande 2004 model about a year ago, and recently the drive hasn't been so smooth. I get vibrations at 80 km/hr. I did a wheel alignment, wheel balancing, and even changed the tie rod ends and ball joints, all to no avail. Can anyone help me out here?
And where is the best place to get genuine parts, as the ones I fitted, I got them from Kirinyaga road...
I would also appreciate help on the English manual..

Nathan here. Going to Nyeri and on to Kieni, cruising at about 90-100kph, managed to achieve 14km/l!! Very nice. Town driving in Nairobi I get around 9km/l.
