Where is the HiAce section..?!? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but I cannot see a HiAce section anywhere, not even in the "international" forums. This is one of the most ocmmon vans here in Australia, and as far as I can elsewhere in the world too...
Well, maybe someone who knows can let me know - a simple question, but not something I'd like to tackle myself. A belt has just snapped in my HiAce - I think it is the one that drives radiator and airconditioning only, so I'd like to know if that is the case as I need to drive it for few hundred kms before it can go to a mechanic...
Here is the mising belt - on a 3L diesel engine it is in the front - you can see the driveshaft of the fan in front.

Moved to the Van Forum, where our HiAce threads live. Sorry, not HiAce specific forum as it's too esoteric a model to have it's own forum. BTW, welcome to TN.

No problem. thanks. I should have found this place years ago when I first got the van. Forum names are just a bit confusing - as you specify the years as 1984-1989, and my van is 1994 :-) All good, thanks for the site!

Too esoteric a model...? A separate Hiace forum would seem more than warranted!
This bus is really all over the world... it's probably transported more people and stuff than any other van.
