Keen to know details of the factory changes made to the Tamora over it's life.

Aware of some of the bodywork changes such as painting sections body colour that were previously black. Minor changes to the front lighting etc, but did anything significant mechanically change?

Thanks for your help.

I am sure more knowledgeable people will be along to confirm, but I don't think there was much change other than the 'cosmetic' stuff you have mentioned.

I too have an early one.

Sometime in mid 2002 the brake/clutch fluid container was rewired (third wire added) to tell you the level was low - before they didn't !!!

This was also an update to the dash ECU, as was driving lights/fog lights size change and how the lights switches operated!

In general later post 2003 dash display had extra menus and options to select and improvements on the contrast settings.

The glove box cover and closure mechanism was modded. There was also a subtle change to the dash element containing the radio/door buttons - more protuberant (stickie-outie, technical term)??

Finally, I'm sure the seats were updated a some stage, did the last models not have had the Tuscan variety?
