not to bad a job, it takes a bit of time to do and the gearbox is very heavy. i would buy a good make of clutch, i have seen clutches fitted that judder from day one and this can be very annoying. make sure the fly wheel is smooth and flat on the face as this will make it judder to. i would...

all you need to do is change the off boost fueling, there is a write up on the forum about this. i did mine afterwards it would pull great from 1000rpm.

I would look for a leak in the intercooler system, may be at a rubber hose/hose clip.

I know you are correct karl , yes i am in uk near belfast i have been in england many times, but that bit of water is getting more expensive to cross.

chris you are free to drive what you like, so i want a manual, i hate auto in anything. i have had 80's since 1996, my last one 10 years. i know there getting hard to find that is why i am looking for a real good one before it's too late.

That was one way,i though someone would tell me of a dealer who would sell a freshly imported 80 landcruiser, or someone might know of one that has been realy well cared for. if is not manual i can make it manual. i want a good one to keep for a long time.

I would love to get a rust free 80 series it must be manual, can anyone point me towards one. i am outside belfast.

thank you for the info.
