In addition to good advice above her: Make sure to use original fuel filter and oil filter. There are many fuel filters which are supposedly compatible, but actually give too little flow. Kanskje du er angrepet av dieseldyret? (Gelling fuel)

Congrats on a superb looking 80. The best looking Land Cruiser body ever (IMHO). By keeping your 80 in good shape, you do a good deed. Comments on choice of engine: 1 - The inline 6 is the best balanced engine design. Naturally balanced and very smooth. The 3FE might be a bit weak for highway...

Wonderful. A thing of beauty is a joy for ever. (Poppins/Keats) Is that front bar sturdy enough to take on a bull, or is it just a damage multiplier? It looks slightly lifted, or with newish springs.

Cloudflare's Turnstile blocks more and smarter than a Captcha solution. I don't know all the inner workings, but I think it checks those three variables. And it's free. One problem with (automatic) blocking of IPs, is that you can block out your patrons as well, as spammers often use the same...

How are the relays then? Looks like there are two of them. If the booster motor doesn't stop after 5 min running, the problem would likely be either relay or ABS ECU. If it does stop after 5 mins, the ECU is working (somewhat at least), but the pressure switch is the prime suspect. See attached...

That's an easy one then, -0608 is your code, up to August 2006. Looks like the first variety of the series.

Those codes are year and month of manufacture. So 0908-1007 is from Aug 2009 to July 2010 production. I see there are a few overlaps, which can be tricky. Some models/series have no overlaps at all.

First thoughts: There is nothing indicating that a brake master cylinder rebuild would help. When you get several fault conditions like this, the problem is often on a more basic level, like grounding and power supply, or corrosion in plugs or ECUs. I would check : - grounding to the...

Change TC asap, before it spreads (more) particles around the gearbox. Fragments of the bearings, or was it thrust washers, will travel by ATF. Fixing the auto-box will cost much more than only the TC. There was a post somewhere describing what parts inside the TC were bad (maybe on LCool, or...

I got that car totalled before I got as far as fixing the TC. Replaced the MY 2000 with a MY 2004, with the 5 step auto and no TC problem. If your car is within the S/N range specified in the TSB, it should be easy to diagnose. Especially in your LC heaven down under. Those TC bearings shouldn't...

But why is it screeching? Open up and havalook. Maybe it's just full of "brakefluid-carbondust concrete". Overfilling brake fluid (read: Not reading the instructions on the lid) is the most common cause.

If the shafts are 370 k km old, then yes, get new ones and then service the old ones for spares. Although at 370 k they can still be pretty good. Rules: - Always use the right size C-clip at the outer end. Requires measuring each time, and a stock of oversized clips. - Always check and lube the...

Congrats, with the 60 and joining this forum. We love the 60 series, pics are welcomed.

Depends on your tyres as well. I don't know the 150, but on my 100 the specs say 32 as well, which I find too low. At 32 I get more wear on the edges and less wear along the centre of the tyres, and a swampy drive. 36 seems to be much better as a minimum for highway driving.

A 4-speed automatic, manufactured in 2006 ??? What gearbox does it have? First thing to do is to check the ATF level, at normal operating temperature and engine running.

'Nother option: Plastic fuel tank - Toyota Land Cruiser 100 - dizel/petrol - PlasticAutoTank.com - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] That will be my next tank... The original tank has a problem that many other makes also have: A seam around the belly which gathers gravel and water. Combine with salted...

Don't listen to the Naysayers. AHC is not a suspension problem. AHC / TEMS is a suspension system that surpasses any conventional suspension system in performance and comfort. The durability of the different parts is normally better than conventional suspension parts. The shocks (or rather...

Here are 2 forum threads for you to read. Might need a couple of days :) to plough thru it all. It's a good start: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/the-abcs-of-ahc-how-to-measure-flush-and-adjust-all-in-one-place.1211999/...

A marvel of a little camper. Looks great, and great photos. That desert pic looks like the truck is at home. Could have been in Sinai. I hope you get many years of good cruising.

:text-worthless: A 40 is the most classy cruiser. Well done getting one, and looking forward to see a superb resto.

2100 rpm at 60 mph sounds right, or maybe a bit low. 1400 at 60 mph would mean a serious up-gearing from stock. https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/high-revs.142477/

Welcome to the forum. Since your flag says "gas engine", i'm guessing that you'll find some pointers here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/tps-apps-problems.127474/ Sorry for pointing out of this excellent forum.

Nothing sweeter than a clean frame. Looks a bit lonely though, with only wheels for company.

Welcome to the forum. That sounds like a great cruiser put to good use. Good job on the gearbox - I suppose it's a manual then... A pic or eight of the old girl would be welcome, both a nice portrait and of your adaptations, modifications and specific use.

Just to give another perspective: ATF cooling is done a few different ways, depending on model, year and market. Some have only the combined radiator which cools the engine coolant as well as the ATF. Some have a modest coil of atf pipe in front of the radiator in addition, before the atf goes...

Haven't looked at TS for a long time now, but iirc you are supposed to get 1HD-FTE. And again iirc, it's the year first, so that -0108 means "up to august 2001 production". And I suppose you have found that there is a difference between current DTCs and stored/historical DTCs.

You can get in an 8" fully inside the opening, like this Alpine I fitted a few years ago: It was a squeeze. They still have them: Universal Head Units and Navigation - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] Might even fit with one of those 9" Freestyle with the separate "button bars", as there is plenty...

Afaik, the book says you have to take it to a diesel specialist and have the injection checked. But I've heard that people change the spill valve without doing anything else. Can someone bring us some real knowledge here?

:text-worthless: Welcome to the forum, btw.

Great 80. Btw, I've always liked reading your forum posts here. Great postings - great humour.

Free tip: Instead of an expensive diagnosis tool, you could just get a miniVCI adapter for 30 £ and a free download of TechStream, t0yota's own reader. And it reads all the up to 14 ECUs you might have. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/how-to-techstream-in-5-minutes.1034923/ What I've found the...

This is from page DI-6 in RM617E. You also find it on page DI-6 in RM1179E. The Diagnostics parts of the FSM (-s different parts) are often the best place to start for hunting down solutions. And before that, it's good to have read the New Car Features section at the beginning of the FSM, as it...

You are right. And from aug 2002 production onwards it was adopted also in Australia, according to the fsm. In Europe from 1998. I probably read something on the lcool forum back in the early days, and didn't check the facts. Sorry. Anyhow, it's made up of a grid of narrow holes, like a bundle...

For the blink method, you can use pin 13 (TC) and pin 4 (ground) in the OBD-plug under the dash instead. Read the FSM.

Re Cat: There isn't an actual catalyser, but a particulate filter, and it does get blocked. But I agree with 79r that this doesn't sound like your problem here, as a partly blocked part.filter gives a problem at high power, not at low. Typically when going up a long, steep hill. Engine then goes...

Don't know howzit on the manual, but if you have a trailer harness with reverse light, that's a common place to get all sorts of shorts.

Yes, that's a typical rookie ignorance (I've been there...). ATF level has to be checked with the engine running. Otherwise you end up with a too low level and a malfunctioning gearbox. So, on e.g. the A750F without the dipstick, you do the last topping up with the engine running, until it...

Haynes for the 100 is useless in most cases, and directly misguiding in some. I have used Haynes for many cars up through the years and it's been good help, but the LC100 version must be the worst they ever made. The FSM can be bought, or you could find an online version LC100 Workshop Manual -...

Specs were changed to the lower temp because the level would be a bit low if using the higher temp. If this is on a 100 series, the FSM check procedure involves the check light coming on at the old (wrong), higher temperature. Either use other means of measuring, or just go for a half hour...

Tested my father's Enyaq. Two drawbacks: Doesn't like colder than minus 20 C, and no rear seat heat. At minus 22 C, after driving 140 km and draining the battery to 25%, the top charging speed started at 25 kW on a 150 kW charger. Went up to 40-something after 20 mins. The 12 V battery low...

^^This! Adding: Diff housing of cast iron, actuator housing aluminium, motor with copper and carbon, and a steel housing -- All this makes up a great battery for driving the corrosion. Add som road salt to speed it up 10 times. I keep mine soaked in fluid film - don't know if it helps, but it...

Cruisers have 4.2 l i6 diesel or 4.7 l v8 petrol, which run a million km without any issues. Anything smaller than 4 litres is only half a cruiser, or Medium Duty as TMC calls it. :text-bump:

If it's not a pipe or fitting, it could be a leaking shock. They can start leaking when the pressure gets too high, typically when loading the car for an expedition. There are several cases of shock leaks that have disappeared after getting the ahc pressure within specs. I had a leaking shock...
