    ABS and Break light Fault Codes

    First thoughts: There is nothing indicating that a brake master cylinder rebuild would help. When you get several fault conditions like this, the problem is often on a more basic level, like grounding and power supply, or corrosion in plugs or ECUs. I would check : - grounding to the...

    2001 - 100 Series Auto Transmission Issues

    Change TC asap, before it spreads (more) particles around the gearbox. Fragments of the bearings, or was it thrust washers, will travel by ATF. Fixing the auto-box will cost much more than only the TC. There was a post somewhere describing what parts inside the TC were bad (maybe on LCool, or...

    2001 - 100 Series Auto Transmission Issues

    I got that car totalled before I got as far as fixing the TC. Replaced the MY 2000 with a MY 2004, with the 5 step auto and no TC problem. If your car is within the S/N range specified in the TSB, it should be easy to diagnose. Especially in your LC heaven down under. Those TC bearings shouldn't...

    ebay Brake Booster Pumps.... anyone tried one?

    But why is it screeching? Open up and havalook. Maybe it's just full of "brakefluid-carbondust concrete". Overfilling brake fluid (read: Not reading the instructions on the lid) is the most common cause.

    Shall I replace the boots or entire shaft?

    If the shafts are 370 k km old, then yes, get new ones and then service the old ones for spares. Although at 370 k they can still be pretty good. Rules: - Always use the right size C-clip at the outer end. Requires measuring each time, and a stock of oversized clips. - Always check and lube the...

    Tyre ( tire )pressures when towing.

    Depends on your tyres as well. I don't know the 150, but on my 100 the specs say 32 as well, which I find too low. At 32 I get more wear on the edges and less wear along the centre of the tyres, and a swampy drive. 36 seems to be much better as a minimum for highway driving.

    Gear not shifting to 4th

    A 4-speed automatic, manufactured in 2006 ??? What gearbox does it have? First thing to do is to check the ATF level, at normal operating temperature and engine running.

    Hello, new member here, 4.7 Amazon Owner with ride height problems humbly requesting advice

    Don't listen to the Naysayers. AHC is not a suspension problem. AHC / TEMS is a suspension system that surpasses any conventional suspension system in performance and comfort. The durability of the different parts is normally better than conventional suspension parts. The shocks (or rather...

    A marvel of a little camper. Looks great, and great photos. That desert pic looks like the truck is at home. Could have been in Sinai. I hope you get many years of good cruising.

    An easy drain & refill of auto transmission fluid and now it won't upshift to overdrive.

    2100 rpm at 60 mph sounds right, or maybe a bit low. 1400 at 60 mph would mean a serious up-gearing from stock. https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/high-revs.142477/

    Error Code P1120 Accelerator position sensor circuit

    Welcome to the forum. Since your flag says "gas engine", i'm guessing that you'll find some pointers here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/tps-apps-problems.127474/ Sorry for pointing out of this excellent forum.
