They are fussy about oil level/condition. Make sure its where it should be, you need to check with the engine running. Hot means hot, check after a good run. Check the throttle cable to see if its set correctly and moves freely.

Have you got boost and EGT gauges fitted Felix?

:doh:

Here it is top left. Change the output seal while your in there.

you can never spend too long browsing the parts catalogue..

that reminds me...

I will try and get updated prices soon.

you can rattle gun it off and it will barely move. make sure you realign the marks before you remove the belt though. personally i would remove the rocker cover and brace the cam with a spanner as per FSM. off the top of my head the pulley bolt is 98nm. you could probable wedge it with a screw...

why do you need to remove the cam pulley?

Got a link to the leds you used TP?

Mines still good at 350000 miles...

Get a price from your main dealer TP and ask for discount. They are classed as service items, so may work out cheaper, if not the same price as the middle east. Stock is the best bet to retain ride comfort.

The R-tech 180 is very good for the money.

They havnt been available new for a while unfortunately. Your best bet would be that chap on face book from Pakistan. Someone will jump in and give more precise details.

Toyota sell the pins as "pig tails". A pin with about 3" of wire so you can splice into your loom. Most of the connectors seem to still be available.

yeah thats the problem. 'with this removed its easier to do that, and with that removed its easier to do this'...

Toyota bolts have that lovely built in washer. Copperslip every bolt that goes back in.

step away from the Rapidor frank!..

Measure twice cut once.... started removing items from the inner wings. Then this happened.. I wasn't planning on going this far, but here we are. Waiting on a dry warm day to give it a good degrease and wash down outside.

Managed to plant some heather too!:icon-biggrin:

Everybody's happy..:thumbup:

Made a bit more room in the engine bay.

Half-term, so managed to grab some time with the 80. Literally spent all day grinding these off..

:icon-surprised:

no hes learnt nothing im afraid. ive seen some terrible 200 series.

best case scenario imo. on the 12 valve all that kinetic energy has no place to go. causes a fair old mess..

Lol. Yeah, software belongs in a laptop..

What engine is in there now?

im still non the wiser to what any of it means.. :)

if your ever near staffordshire i can do the work for you.

@whereisgibson

It should be from factory Frank.

most people regret selling an 80. welcome back to sanity..

after ems rav 4 developing a gearbox fault and turning to dust underneath we got a 2011 sorento. seems much better built, has a timing chain, and a proper spare wheel, rather than a tub of gunk..

i actually payed the same for my 80 in the same year! 89000 on the clock. now 341000. without doubt the best vehicle ive ever owned and ever will own.

im reasonable confident he didnt have beef hoisin tacos for tea...
