as is the title i will be working on this when time and money permit. its a 12 valve auto, so will complement my 24 valve manual nicely. it will be a civilised build so nothing exciting. TBH it will be pretty boring but will document some of the more mundane jobs that come with 80 ownership. as...

became the owner of this last summer.

the aircon system in the 80 is pretty simple. the most obvious, a leak/leaks. knackered compressor. pressure switch needs replacing. i notice on your toyota invoice it states 650g of R134A. to my knowledge it should be 900g. when any major component is replaced; compressor,evaporator,condenser...

that is beautiful. please look after it..

i replaced my PS box recently and forgot to plug the connector in. the steering was heavy until i plugged it back in.

good time to replace corroded turbo water/oil pipes, plus the long coolant pipe. unless you like rolling the dice, good idea to use new manifold gaskets and replace the sealing rings where the manifold splits. manifold nuts and studs can sometimes be pretty corroded too.

not yet.. :D

thats a petrol 80 pick up pipe. that might well be your problem..

Your world won't stop spinning that's for sure. I've been slacking lately, but I normally stock the complete set of bushes for the 80 series. They were not much more money than the nolathene bushes. I remember my dad constantly replacing oem range rover bushes, I think thats when the poly...

Nolathene is a brand name that makes there bushes from polyurethane.

personally i wouldnt be fitting poly bushes. i would stick with toyota. they last for years and are more supple than the poly bushes.

what parts are you struggling to get for the 80?

indeed. i like my motors EMP proof...

you should "get away" with the LEDs, unless the tester is a complete dick..

i dont have any in stock atm, i can get you a up to date price if you are interested.

i recently bought a new genuine 1HDT head for a rebuild. its an option.

also check tie rod and track rod ends for play.

ive said it before, imo there is nothing special about a landcruiser any more. they are playing on there heritage. if i could afford to spend 110k, it wouldnt be on a landcruiser.

i really dont know what to say...

a 80 series owning mechanic mate of mine had a 2016 200 series on his ramps a couple of weeks ago. he said come and have a look at this, underneath it was literally a couple of winters away from needing some serious welding. cost the owner about 25k iirc. not good enough and not for me thanks..

what is the typical monthly repayment on a landcruiser/rangerover kind of vehicle?

Welcome. You won't be disappointed with an 80 series, ticks your boxes and much more.

Sir, I do believe you have created yourself a job..

uses the factory switch over solenoids if its the 80 i think it is.

Runin' on fumes sir!

50 litres. i get 200 to 250 miles out of mine.

That's just what I was thinking frank.. :)

there is a filter under the fuel cut solenoid also. imo fitting a electric pusher pump is only masking a problem with the injector pump. put the cost and effort of installing a pusher pump towards removing and getting your IP serviced. have you replaced the hand primer above the fuel filter?

A decent length 14 mm ring key from above is how I normally do it.

Yes, the one by your right knee.

Check the ECU B fuse.

Check the ECU B fuse.

good post.

the EGR clogs up the entire intake tract. no EGR and only the PCV connected to the intake only leaves a slight oil film on the intake tract but deposits carbon on the back of the intake valves. the two together are pretty messy. toyota probable dont bother about this as the 1HD family of...

ay up GOK. im still milling about..;) thanks for the plug. ive kind of hung up my handsaw for the moment, concentrating more on the spannering side. for the time being at least..

trust no one, sleep with one eye open..

yeah, for the most part talking over the start of a track, ruining the intro, which is often one of the best bits. yep, any diehard football fan could easily do his job for a fraction of that amount, and be grateful, appreciative and realise what a privileged position they are in.

lol at this thread being bumped.

somethings are better left undiscovered..

there are not many things that will stop a diesel 80 from starting. flat batteries. immobiliser . fuel/air issue. no 12 volt feed to fuel cut off solenoid. fuel cut solenoid fuse blown. the red 40 amp fuse in the engine bay fuse box blown. someone stole your engine..

i get this part number for a 76 series gasket kit: 0444560070

we will simply be regarded as archaic old gits im afraid, but thats just the way it goes. its there loss not ours. i reasonable regularly take our six year old and another young family member to high edge raceway banger racing. they have V8s, stock cars, formula fords, street bangers, bangers...

...i feel three years older...

this. ive had a few 80s in with raptor peeling off due to lazy prep and covering all manner of crap.
