Evening,
It looks like my Turbo is on it‘s way out. Toyota want silly money so does anyone have any recommendations? I use the car everyday so need something that can be fitted quickly rather than sending mine away for a rebuild.
Many thanks

Hi,
My exhaust has split on the rear section and I'm looking for a new one. Roughtrax have one but it's only up to 1996 model. Mines a 98. What's the difference? or do you know where I can find the suitable part?
Many thanks
Rob
Hi
Does anyone have experience of a rtt that can also carry a load. I’d like a hard shell tent that I can leave on for the summer and still put a canoe on top. The alu-cab gen 3 looks awesome but very expensive.
many thanks

Hi
I've got some horrible noises coming from the front end of my car. It's intermittent but sounds like something that's splined spinning. It is a very loud and angry sounding noise. It happens in any gear and doesn't always stop when you put the car into neutral or push the clutch in...
Hi,
Does anyone know where I can get a new exhaust hanger for the rear section. The bit I’m looking for is the piece that goes from the chassis to the rubber mount that then attached to the exhaust.
Mines completely disintegrated and I’m struggling to find a replacement.
Many thanks
Rob
Hi
Can anyone suggest some decent rear springs for my 80. I don’t want to lift it and it’s basically standard. I went to Toyota for prices and the shocks are reasonable but the springs are ridiculous!
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Many thanks

I’ve got an annoying squealing from the engine bay under load. I’ve had it looked at and the thought that it was the power steering belt but that’s been tightened along with the alternator belt and it’s still squealing.
Before I lose my mind have any of you got an idea of what could be causing...
Hi
I've got an 80 series and was involved in a head on RTC this morning. The insurance company are writing it off and I'm trying to find a replacement asap. as well as a valuation. I've had a look around on the internet but does any of you lovely people know any diesel's for sale?
Many...
Bit of a silly question this but my 80’s steering is a little bit vague but when I go through puddles etc it can pull badly to one side. If I were to fit a new/beefier steering damper would that improve the situation?
Many thanks
Rob
Hi.
My 80’s central locking is playing up. It will unlock all doors with the key but will only lock the drivers door. Now I’m very good at taking things apart but I struggle to put them back together again! So is this an easy thing to fault find?
Many thanks
Rob
Hi
I've just spent more money than I will ever admit to my wife buying a second hand National Luna fridge. I want to stick it in the rear of the 80 but don't have any power back there. Excuse my ignorance but could I run a cable from the drivers side battery (fused) back there?
I'm not going...
This might be my ignorance showing here but where would I go to get a receiver hitch for my 80? I don't want a towbar permanently attached hence the receiver hitch that I could attach a towball too.

looking for some ideas. I've got a Diesel 80 series that normally starts on first turn of the key. I've just had a new fuel tank installed and since then if it's left for a few days it doesn't want to start. I've just been away for the last 10 days and I had to prime the fuel filter with the...
After embarrassing itself by pi$$ing diesel all over a mates drive my 80 needs a new fuel tank. Can anyone recommend a supplier that won't make me cry!

Hmm, just been lying under my 80 as you do and realised that I have a diesel leak from the tank somewhere. I've not noticed it before but I did fill it up yesterday. Anything obvious that I can check or is it a new fuel tank?
Thanks
Rob
Hello
Thought I had better introduce myself on here as I have been lurking for a while now.
At the end of last summer I bought an 80 series after owning a discovery. What a revelation!!
Anyhoo it's got 110k on it and I'm the second owner.
