If I remember correctly, you have to use a 1hz timing gear case, but you'd also need a tweaked 1hz pump. More info here: facebook.com/groups/478360412729487/ They are known as a 1hd-ftm If replacing the engine it's still makes more sense to upgrade it to the 1hd-fte... there's a bit more work...

If this was me, I'd be going for a 1hd-fte upgrade from the 100, maybe with a mechanical pump...while I'm in there!

;)

Same here, Black 80, R Reg when it's back on the road, don't hesitate to stop me! :)

Nope, no camera's unfortunately. Looks like mine will have to be the first! They came early on a Monday morning probably between (sunrise) 4:45 am and 08:00. Plenty of light at that time and no police patrolling the streets. Has to be a 2 person job as the jack weighs quite a bit, you have to...

Hey! Good to hear from a local 80 owner! There's not many up here. I've seen a Gold one in Jesmond and a Black 80 with black wheels in Gateshead and a couple others. What colour is your 80?

Thanks guys, your response is overwhelming. If they wanted scrap metal there was plenty to be had in the yard, but they ignored all of it and went straight for the wheels. They've been in before about 6 months back, but took nothing then. ...they also took a DPF from a Volvo V70 too, but left...

Here is a pic of said item.... 4 of these were stolen this morning.

Hi Friends, Someone stole 4 80 series landcruiser Aluminium/Alloy wheels from my back yard early this morning (Monday 21st May). I believe they all have Michelen LTX tyres on them. They made off with my 3 Ton hydraulic jack and some other car related stuff too. I live in Newcastle upon Tyne...

I also had no noise issues just too much backlash in the drive train. Worn bushes, CV joints, drive flanges, could be all contributors to that though. About to take my front diff apart to check the bearings, as it's been running in grease instead of oil. Backlash on the front diff is 0.32mm...

Post some pics of the gear drive pattern if you got some. Would be interesting to see...

Hi Chris, Don't know if you've seen this, but the following website is really useful for (Landcruiser) diff. rebuilds. http://www.gearinstalls.com/ Hope it helps - well done on the find! IQ
