I've gone with a JRP 3in1 (temp, pressure and low coolant). It ain't pretty, but hopefully it gives some useful data. I'll replace the factory temp sender whenever that arrives, but probably useful to try to match the spike in temp with JRP digital gauge. It does make life easier removing the...

For anyone interested, this is actually the correct part for a 1994.

Let me know how you get on - about to throw my 3rd row seats in the tip. You'd have to cover postage from the Falklands!

Looking to replace the factory temp sender and I am getting a bit confused with part numbers (and location). I think the temperature sensor on the outlet housing is related to the AC, while the sensor to the right of the oil filter is the engine water temperature. I am having trouble getting...

This goes through the process of checking the transmission code when OD blinking. It isn't something I have experience with, so can't offer much more insight I am sorry! How to Read Transmission Code with Flashing Overdrive Light on Toyota 80-Series Land Cruiser - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

I can't be sure, but it is a Terrain Tamer Heavy Duty alloy radiator, so I would hope it is at least as good as OEM. It replaced a Nissen radiator.

Great advice and certainly working toward that. But it really does run hotter than it used too and comparing the radiator and hoses by feel to my 1HDFT - noticeably hotter. Hardly scientific or good data!

Thanks Jon, I have owned it for years, but has only recently become a problem - (I say recently, but it has been ongoing for over a year now, and I really only drive it occasionally when I have a new idea of troubleshooting the overheating issue - I originally hoped it might just be air in the...

I've done a lot of searching on 1H8MUD and the general interweb. My 80 temperature gauge rises whenever I start to drive up a hill and then falls after the incline. It rises above half - to about 3/4, but never close to the red - but I appreciate it takes a large temperature difference for the...

Aside from checking transmission level and for leaks, I would suspect transmission solenoids (not that I have any experience with A442F - yet). You might find some useful info here, where the guy reads the codes and replaces the solenoids: 6th Gear Garage - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] The...

If you can wait for shipping from Japan, Amayama might be better value. 2930017010

That was interesting. Replaced the ignition switch, which seems to have fixed the problem. In the process discovered some distant previous owner had rigged up an engine immobiliser and well hidden switch I never new existed. The home made relay was all very corroded. Thanks for the advice...

Yes - spoke with the PO today and he said he just used the FOB to unlock/lock doors, which in the past fixed the issue - so as it turns out it really wasn't disabled. We tried every combination offered by google search to try get the FOB working - just bad luck I guess. Pulling out the entire...

I think I've spent more time towing than driving this new (to me) 1HDFT! Unfortunately, none of the quick wins worked for me. But grateful to a local garage that managed to remove the entire system. Thanks to all that helped troubleshoot. A

Or both in my 1HDFT case! Thankfully no MOTs here.

Cheers all. All been very helpful and appreciated. But I have admitted defeat and towed it a garage. I really hate auto-electrics. Will let you know the fix (I hope).

The fob has two buttons (black and red) and a red LED which lights up when pressing either of the buttons. On the back it has MPT 1340 - the car and key are stranded elsewhere, but I'll get back to it today and take a pic. Any suggestions on sequence or something to try would be appreciated.

Hi Towpack. It is a late 1995 UK spec 1HDFT manual - with 80,000 miles and super rusty. I'll get a picture of the fob thingy - but it is Toyota and has MPT 1340 on the back. This is the paperwork I got with car about the system. The LED light near the centre console lights up red, which is why I...

Thanks for the reply mate. The fob thingy doesn't actually unlock the car - it just de-activates the TDS. It was running fine prior to the timing belt/water pump, and batteries are charged. I've read that the TDS has an LED light on the center console when activated, which is showing - but it is...

Hi all, a very new to me 1HDFT. It has a disabled Theft Deterrent System according to the PO. I replaced the timing belt and water pump, but when I reconnected the batteries, the hazard lights flash. Sometimes the engine cranks, usually nothing but a click. I've tried all sorts of combinations...

Thanks Shayne. I'll test the starter now I have pulled it back off, so I can discount that, and then move onto the ignition switch - seems relatively common issue on IH8MUD. The new starter wasn't properly disengaging, which is a slightly different issue than before - but hopefully a replacement...

My starter motor gave up. Symptoms where it just kept on running after the engine started and kept on going when the engine switched off. The starter did smell like something had burnt inside, so I opted to replaced it with a Kuhner starter motor (24v), rather than replace the solenoids. This...

Hi there, I'm tossing up between the ACL Duraglide and ACL race series BEBs. Grateful for any advice on which is the better option (1HDFT).

Any advice on where/how to buy an 80 series in Japan- or who would be a good contact? I've tried websites but can't seem to make progress with online enquires.

Could also be from Freedom Outfitters or TEQ customs (US based and both LHD or RHD options).

These are no longer in production, so unfortunately relying on used parts, which are hard to find in decent condition. Your best bet is Nayab Akbar (can be reached via facebook Toyota LandCruiser Source UK, Ireland and Europe ). Plenty of folks are happy with the quality of 2nd hand parts...

Another dull question........I've noticed the head of the adjusting bolt on the alternator bracket is not sitting flush with the bracket (like the picture below stolen from IH8MUD). Is that correct, or have I managed to bugger-up the most simple of tasks? Sorry this is a bit niche and probably...

I spent a fair bit of time mulling over windows for my 80 - which I guess has the same options as 100. I narrowed it down to Emu wings vs Cruiser Company. I went with Emu Wings simply because I didn't really want to drill - but in hindsight, it probably wasn't worth the substantial extra $$...

Hi mate, bought a pair from cars245 for £138 including shipping (for an 80 series RHD). I think that was shipped from Lithuania. Not sure you will find cheaper retailers in the UK. The Depo lights are a great OEM replacement option, and very happy with quality and look.

Hi chapel gate. The No 1 camshaft pulley, so that the camshaft oil seal retaining cover can be removed.

This is my first crack at the 1HDT timing belt and water pump. I'll be working outside, so very much prefer to avoid removing the valve cover. There are lots of great YouTube vids - several of which use an impact gun to remove cam pulley, with a screw driver wedged in to stop the pulley moving...

Hi all. Hoping that everyone loves a 'how rusty' thread as much as me. Looking for another project 80 - something to tidy-up as a daily driver, rather than bring back to mint condition. This is the underside of a low mileage 1HDFT. I am trying guess how much of a project this would be, and get a...

Looks like a dealer is selling your old bus for 28K - wish I had seen the for sale advert sooner!
