    Day 1 of ownership - leaking fuel tank

    You sure its the tank and not the filler pipe you need to replace ? Don't think theres any discount codes just mention the club and they will know it , I suppose they see it as advertising .

    70 series front bumper

    Wrong year and country but notice its an "LJ70" bumper rather than a BJ70 or 71 or 73 or one of the other numerous variants...

    70 series front bumper

    Toyota has produced the 70 series in various guises for maybe 40 years making your question very vague ?

    It gets dirty the same as anything else so it can do no harm to give it a wipe .

    Spare Wheel Pressure

    Quick find and I expect you can get it cheaper but a nail in your tyre will make no difference at all if it has OKO in it . https://www.amazon.co.uk/Puncture-Free-Sealant-Caravans-1250ml/dp/B00XY5Y842 Wheel cover makes no difference , I'd suspect a leaking valve if its an unused tyre .

    Potential Labour Party policies.......

    As far as I can tell Labour has a 2 step policy , short term - agree with everybody , and long term , should they get into power , Blame the Tories when every cheque bounces and they can't keep a single promise .

    Potential Labour Party policies.......

    I was only interested in the Wales result because I expected Labour to severely regret the 20mph bollocks . Turned out there was no news to read , I can only guess so few people voted that the count was done in 5 minutes . Takes too long to drive to the voting station maybe :confusion-shrug:

    Chassis Rust Removal -- Recommended Tools for Awkward Areas?

    I acquired a 7x2" wood beam years ago and cut it into foot lengths , these could obviously be stacked to any height and have proved time and again to be far more valuable than any of my car ramps , jacks and jack stands . Then I went away to work and the mrs had a white van man come take the...

    Long time lurker (kzj78 / uzj100 / uzj40[?])

    Great intro :handgestures-thumb: , saddens me to know I have a million ideas (aesthetic) that will never be because I don't have the skills, contacts , or money to explore them . I love what Ridley's done to his 40 which is a full on updated version whilst remaining a true 40 series . This is...

    Japanese Speaker Wanted. Apply Within — AKA. What is This Button For?

    We did but knowing now its by the gear stick being able to lock gear is a logical and useful feature , and red suggests warning not for road use ? Could the worn button be a rear screen heater maybe ?

    Oil pressure release valve

    Maybe if you compress the spring overnight , I'm thinking a pipe two bolt and a vice , it will give you what you need to get it bolted in ? Left my truck overloaded and parked up for a week once and was gutted to see fairly new springs shrunk , so i jacked it up and let the rear axle hang for a...

    Ahhhhh, transmission advice please.

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194669758313 Might not be your problem but its a Cruiser so major components rarely fail . When diagnosing always look for the simplest things first , even Toyota can't prevent the effects of aging though if they made a pill I reckon we could still do cartwheels on...

    Ahhhhh, transmission advice please.

    Yeah its held in by a sort of cap you push down and twist to release can be a bugger tight or a child could do it if your lucky . I recently had the same problem with my 80 after fitting an uprated clutch . Couldn't work it out but now know it was the knock on effect of a seriously neglected...

    Ahhhhh, transmission advice please.

    Thats jumping the gun a bit surely . Its a manual gearbox i assume so first thing I'd look at is the gear stick which is a solid metal bar with a relatively soft nylon bush at the bottom which wears .

    A Question about OME vs. FOX Shocks.

    Just an observation but depends what your previous builds were , I never heard any complaints about OME on trucks as heavy as the 80 series and I'd assume the 60 series weighs at least as much ?

    Excessive Smoke

    About 1500 your turbo kicks in altering the fuel/air ratio , maybe the ecu is not sensing your off boost ? Cost nothing to pull and clean sensors .

    97 KZJ95 3.0 TD Colorado - Fuel Cut Off Solenoid Valve not functioning

    If fuel is getting to injectors then the pump must be getting power and working surely . Glow plugs failing is extremely rare on these i think , I seem to recall only other on here with glow plug issues finally worked out it was just the dash bulb died . There's a fuel shut off solenoid...

    97 KZJ95 3.0 TD Colorado - Fuel Cut Off Solenoid Valve not functioning

    I'm no good with car electrics but i can't figure out how fuel would get to injectors if theres no power to fuel pump ? I think it should start without glow plugs unless its snowing where you are but i'd suspect the ignition switch if they didn't work . Modern cars are rolling laptops but the...

    Rear cloth seats (brown)

    Been looking at my rear most seats thinking Toyota slung them in as an afterthought . For any distance they only good for kids , you got seat belts and documents to show its a 7 seater so why not make a bench out of 2 sheets of ply and hinges so you have the seats when you need them or a two...

    70 Series

    Some remove them for better off road articulation and if your truck doesn't have any then a scrapyard will likely have some and they will bolt on without fuss

    When you can’t seperate CV from axle

    Only myself to blame after she stood in grease and traipsed it through the house beat me to death and dragged me out of the morgue to clean up . I found part of a broken outer snap ring and I've never broke one , so evidently i picked up the outer ring from the old cv and put it on the shaft to...

    70 Series

    UK Media on the 250

    Not sure why that reminds me of the Shiek's son who told his father that it was embarrassing to arrive at a posh London school in a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce when all his friends came by train . So dad bought him a train .

    Wheel Arch Flare rubber Seals

    Toyota calls them gaskets , panel gaskets maybe , I can't remember but I do remember that they charge a ludicrous price for them . Bought a roll of the stuff from somewhere when I changed my 80's flares which turned out to be to thin and so I ultimately used sika ebt . White spirits dissolves...

    97 KZJ95 3.0 TD Colorado - Fuel Cut Off Solenoid Valve not functioning

    No spark ? its a diesel compression makes fuel go bang not spark plugs . The spill valve is works or replace i think and so im guessing they want to know how much to adjust the only moving part . I've turned mine anti clockwise to the stop and the truck still run but was very down on power ...

    Factory Jack

    Quick look suggests to me its the same jack that came with my 90 series and probably the same as the 120 so should be loads on ebay

    While thinking axle breather design is rubbish ......

    Yeah I realized that hence i just raised the factory breather as much as i dare with only a metre of hose , the bigger the lift the harder it is to estimate suspension travel . Has me wondering though , a Y barb and breathers could suck air from the cabin and expel air in the engine bay - a one...

    While thinking axle breather design is rubbish ......

    On the contrary it will cause a vacuum trying to pull grease through hub seals and into axle oil . Never mind halfrauds was the only place open to get tube and I was shocked to find a metre isn’t really long enough for my truck so the factory breather can live here until I have another day of...
