Wrong, all vm land cruisers came originally with 5cyl engine that is different from 4cyl ones like in jeeps etc.

Don't really know why would you want to do that as if you've done a proper job that caliper probably won't need to be taken off for another 10-20 years. Flexible hose isn't needed there but if you really want one then you can go to any workshop or ebay seller that makes HEL hoses, snap couple...

Half of the dashboard is out of one car rest of another, it was probably red before hence brown seats, rear seats missing, whoever welded quarter panels didn't bother if they actually fit to the doors, they've painted over all the crap on the rear triangles when you open the back doors, even...

Seen it on the marketplace for a while. Cheap toy :) Not much of a land cruiser left in it though lol

Hi, you're miles away so won't help with finding garage, there must be some members that are in IE and will recommend something. if you have any questions and need advice just fire away. Seen your other post and your car it's pretty clean for a land cruiser anyway so bodywork shouldn't be a...

Tolerances have changed but diesel is the same (more or less). Never had any problems with injectors after taking them out, make sure they're full of diesel and plug feed/return, that's it, there is nothing else you can do. If they do fail there was something wrong with them in the first place...

Yes it's the only filter. Yes i mean fuel pick up and return pipes on top of the fuel tank.

It's either fuel filter housing or rotten pipes on top of the tank. Change the housing as if it didn't pack up yet it will in near future and see how it goes. You can always fit a one way valve on the supply pipe as a temporary measure.

Anyone can use oil based paints but why would you? Or did you mean proper(lead) oil based red oxide? There is restrictions on using some paints containing isocyanates if that's what you meant but they'll never phase them out completely as they're in all lacquers, even some water based paints...

It's a good practice to cap injectors, i always do that anyway whenever i work on anything. Newer JCB's are crap, i work on a few of them myself since i'm out in the sticks with farms around... Let's assume the nut on the feed is done up ;) the quantities this pump moves will only make a mist...

Not really a setup to test piezoelectric injectors as you need modulator with duty cycle etc but it isn't dangerous as long as you won't put your hand next to nozzle....he tested the spray pattern, he will test the resistance and that's about it, if ok put it back in. In 3rd world countries they...

Did he replace all capacitors? Highly unlikely that it's something damaging it, did he say what part he actually replaced?

Can't really see anything on these photos that's why i said close up, especially bypass area( vac actuator on outside of charger). Did you actually put power to the horns see if they work? Never had the relay go but it must be one of the ones under steering column. Unbolt the vent and have a...

Post a few close up photos around the charger. How much it's blowing mainly depends from size of the pulleys.

It won't shut off as it feeds shut off selenoid on the pump from headlight + . Used to be a trick back in the day to not forget the lights. Do not assume that they have found all the plays in the suspension when doing an mot. First thing to do, get someone to keep turning steering wheel...
