Although i have a 79, which is the same a/c system as yours, and i don't run R134A in my system, in my experience the best way to get the correct amount is to fill enough to achieve the correct pressure for the prevailing ambient temperature, and fine tune the amount by striving for maximum...

Yeh well, god his bless his soul... In my country not legal

LOL. welded by who?

Yes, it make a huge difference. At first, with the lift but without the correction it used to feel like it wanted to wander and although it was controllable, i had to learn to not over steer it and just let it do it's "thing". The correction made it feel civilised again, and it seems now to not...

Yup, my 79 has a 2" lift and the wheel aligner said that gave castor : left - 0 degrees, right - 0.5 degrees (RHD) The arms i bought for it are 4 degrees corrected and 15 mm longer to account for the reduction in wheelbase the lift gave it.

Not true, the fan clutch is temperature engaged and WILL engage even at highway speed if it gets hot enough, and it does make a difference when it comes on

From someone who's run them in the North West of Australia : Not necessary, even in 45 degrees C+ . Just get the fan shroud sorted

Agree, as a veteran mechanic, i've finally only recently come back to the OEM constant tension style clamps. Can't beat 'em

Det problem, du vil stå over for, er, at landcruisers høj/lav skifter negativ. De skifter ikke positivt i stilken. Positiv fodres til både høj og lav, når forlygterne er tændt. Der er en konvertering, der involverer to relæer, der inverterer polariteten.

In Oz they only came out with an n/a 1HZ Maybe not so much of a problem in cooler climates. In the north-west here though, with summer temperatures often well above 43 degrees C, if towing an even small trailer, they're just downright gutless, anemic and struggle to do 80 km/hr. I had one 25...

Prolly not... the brown VSV valve connected to that hose has only one connection, so it has no vacuum source to swirch on. it's probably a venting valve... but it may stop it from working if the hose has a hole in it, maybe where that rub mark is, or some other issue with that brown vsv. for...

It's all good, mate.

It's called a DTC connector, if you look it up it's very similar in an evolutionary kind of way to OBD and somewhat backwards compatible in as much as it can be plugged into... "Why" is because in some markets OBD2 was mandated years before in other markets, such in the US it was 2000-ish, yet...

As i've mentioned before, until i owned my diagnostic tool, it was impossible to know what the ECU is "thinking". When i had my last fault, it drove like i had a throttle position switch error (check engine light came on when backing off to a coast). The original thought of a diagnosis i had was...

The only way i was able to find this reader was through a contact i learned of by stumbling across a fella named MIchael Wallin, who's website is : http://1hdfte.com.au/ To get his attention, i rejoined fakebook after being off fakebook for several years... If you're on fakebook look up...
