many thanks any other common issues that can be fixed? I was thinking filter and pump for the ATF perhaps?? Which is the throttle position cable??attached to accelerator paddle?excuse my ignorance ..my first automatic gearbox!! david 2001

My 80 series which Ii drove to uganda in november and back without problems ..6500 km!is now hesitating to engage fwd and reverse gear from standstill and I think has become slow in changeing fwd gears inDrive ive checked ATM and was slightly low and I topped up and color is ok. I dont know...

I am having serious problems aligning the oil tube from the turbo to the side of the engine block so I can fit the banjo bolt…mainly no space and danger of breaking the tube connection to the turbo.I have tried all sorts to do this without removing anything else.!!I have removed the exhaust...

I tried all I could and they had the cheek to advise me to buy ’correct fitting studs’ as I did not know the specs for the landcruiser studs.Any way we disagreed and my garage me sent me contact for machinist at H&M hydraulics who machined four studs for me to suit the new turbo holes ...

I bought a new turbo ..max-speeding rods..and I am having problem as the new studs thread wont fit into the turbo side.The studs are from a full turbo fitting set FA1 PL. I tried the old studs and they too wont fit into the turbo thread!!! Andy one had a similar issue??? David

i will buy the gadget you suggest next week!there was some oil in the intake before the EGR and also on the turbo outlet pipe

an engineer friend has compressor around the pressure I mentioned .he said he uses it for some jobs fixing other compressors and just source of pressure!! david2001

It has moved at 15pounds pressure and we did not get any higher than 17pounds! I thought this means its functioning ok?? david

No facility to do test at my mechs gagarge so looking around today and see where to get test.What pressure is it supposed to open at? david2001

17201-17040 and there’s another number at bottom W791510! Off to have pressure test! thanks david 2001

Its original toyota 100 series. the flap is definitely not stuck nor rusty…its the actuator where its stuck.(I released the actuator bolts and the flap is free) I will take it to a garage to see if it opens on air pressure increase carefully. I’ll read the sticker tomorrow and send to you...

Yes turbo is out on bench! Its stuck with the flap closed..the thing is turning freely with no end play at all and i now think that the oil stains were from the breather and not that much anyway! Are you suggesting I open it up? David2001
