Can anyone tell me if there are many differences between TF and TH models. The only manual i have been able to find is for th onwards (found online here) and i wanted to know wheather i should look for a specific tf manual.
Cheers

all i can think atm is the front bar, pretty sure ders other mechanical diffs, but not quite sure can some1 elaborate

fairly sure TH was 3.5 and the TF is 3.0 motors....

-Yes the front bar is different
-the rear inside break light for the TF is on the parcel shelf, The TH is on the top of the window.
- the engine in the TF i think is the same as a TE which is a 3L and the TH came in 3.5L.
- the interior will differ a bit.
- the TE also might be the same with the TF cant get a VRX front fender on it unless u mod the bolting points for the front fender, me thinks the rear and the sides will still fit.

That all i really know

All my ****HEAD friends always use to say that i had a TE because it looked so much like me mates rents magna, finally convinced them that it is a TH :bowrofl:

Mechanically pretty much the same; some say perhaps improved auto box computer?

TH has later style immobiliser with red/green button remote.

3.0L was available on TH Exec as option I think; no idea as mine's a TH Advance with 3.5L.

TH has different "better-for modders" front grille molding, so I'm told.

TE/TF has vinyl sides to the front seats, don't they? TH has all-over fuzzy seats. lol

Trip computer advances?

I believe some of the basic differences in the TH from the TF's were:

- Sedans have different tailight design
- Option of a 3.5 in the Executive onwards
- Different front grill
- Different rear badging
- Redesigned front bumper
- Interior trim changes
- 8 function trip computer
- Upgraded security alarm/immobiliser with different remote
- New exterior colours
- Ez Cool glare reducing UV protecting tint
- Sedans high mounted stop light relocated from parcel shelf to roof (led)
- Variable wiper speed
- Different wheel covers
- CD player in some high end models like I think the Altera

So it would seem that for most things i would be working on such as brakes, air intake, suspension etc so long as i am looking at the 3.0 part of the when dealing with the motor i should be ok?
If i decide to get into anything really complex i guess i will have to bite the bullet and buy a factory workshop manual. Does anyone know $$$????
I have already pulled the calipers off before i had the manual and it seemed the same as what i have now read in the manual.
I guess i will just have to tread carefully and hope for the best.
I can always scream for help on the forums.
I need to replace spark plugs after christmas. can anyone who has already done it on a TF have a look at the manual and tell me if the directions are correct for TF. If you dont have the manual i am talking about i will mail you the relevent page/pages.

which ones, front or back?

Front 3 aren't hard, just need some LONG tools to reach down the wells about 6".
Had to use my longest socket extension and I bought some rubber plug tool that
grips the plug at the tip to be able to fish it out, great invention.

Verada have engine cover so that's a few extra bolts before you see the plugs.


Rear 3 are (should be!) platinums that get changed ever 100,000km only,
need to remove the induction assembly to get access to the plugs.

Bigger job than it sounds, might need new gaskets etc depends how anal owner is. :)
