If you intend to drink and sleep in your car, may I suggest you keep a pillow and sleeping bag. I have seen the same charge defeated in court, on the basis that the driver had every intention to sleep in his car (wagon) until he was sober enough to drive. Judge accepted it as he had sleeping gear in the car and layed out. FYI

It was the fact that the police actually bullshitted completely. They didn't do me for "intention to drive" (which i know all about), they said they saw me drive around the corner with my high beams and fog lights blaring (i never use either of these, my low beams are enough majority of the time and I never use the fog lights because I know how much cops hate 'em), saw them on the opposite side of the road and crudely pulled over.

And when I took it to court to contest it, it was just a matter of my word against both of theirs. 1 drunk teenager vs 2 policeman - Chyeah, I never had a chance. Hence, why after the first hearing, I came to realise this was actually the case (I was sort of hoping/ holding onto the dream that truth and justice would prevail) I ended up pleading guilty to save on money and time in court. So thoroughly bloody irritating.

    • If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.
    • You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.
    • Hi Brent, I am wondering if you ever worked this out? I have upgraded this unit to a newer one and everything works bar the reverse camera, so i really want to know what plugs are what so I can patch the camera through. many thanks in advance Mike
    • Once you have to get up in the morning and be useful, you suddenly value sleep it turns out :p
    • Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
