Toyota Coaster 1982


Hi guys,

I've bought a 1982 Coaster from someone who was here in the Park. Can't find where the battery is supposed to live. I was told it's under the step of the side door, but no sign of anything there. It's a 4 cyl Diesel, 2B engine. All kitted out with cooking and sleeping facilities, but don't think it has run for a year or two. Any advice will be much appreciated.

Bill

 In my 1980 Coaster the cranking battery is located between the front wheel arch and the side door. John

usually there's a small door in the floor... perhaps near the side door

should be located on the outside of the chassis rails so stick your head underneath and take a gander...

Our 85 Coaster was in the same position as yeoeleven but it is now located under bed on passenger side just past the door. If you look under the bus you can trace the cables from starter motor to Batt/s. You may have house batteries as well. Ours has 3 batteries in the one location.

Good luck with your adventure

Yep , I have a 83 coaster and the cranking battery is just in front of the side door, never know it could have been moved.

In the 93 + coaster the Batteries are located on the Right side of the Door when you look at it from the outside..

For John going from his description the Battery is Located on the Left hand side..
-- Look for a Lift up hatch in the Floor...

hope this helps..
