The A750F is rock solid. As long a it is treated nicely, the first thing to need replacement are the solenoids, or rather just one or two of them. Changing from manual to auto includes also the ECU, and in the case of the A750F it is a combined ECU for engine and atm, which works really well...

Thinking back on similar situations -- I would guess that you didn't push the lever hard enof forward to engage the H. The stick gets sticky from disuse.

Give us some more info, and make a sign.line with car details. :rage: - Build year/month (or at least, if auto: 4 or 5 speed) - EU or Oz version (or other market) - Miles (or Km) - History, use, events, repairs, (filters, tank, IP, injectors, etc) How is starting? How is a long, steep uphill...

This is where it sits on a LHD: To the left of the steering wheel.

Isn't the size the problem? 35" on a 80? What does the registration paper say? If the car is not altered to fit bigger wheels, it would be registered with 31", and EU regulations dictate max 5% deviation in circumference. Might be time to borrow another set of wheels.

Hard to say what is the best way forward - also depends on your skills, your contacts and your wallet. As I see it, to have a 100 series, you need to be able to do basic stuff yourself. Especially on the AHC system, as there are few technicians who understand how this simple system works. As a...

You have a what with what fitted? Looks like a UZJ100, but what's the w? And what is a KHK ASC100? This is not a Toyota product, from the look of it. If it is a kind of controller for the AHC, then the problem might be with the AHC itself. Or is this an airbag system on top of a suspension...

This one, called Gasket (diamond-shape in front), shaped like a double gasket for a banjo fitting, shown at the top of the nozzle assembly, with a screw through it: In the parts catalogue it's called GASKET(FOR HOLDER & NOZZLE SET), 90904-30006 (marked with colour rectangle) (there are 6 of...

A bit on the side of your specific question, but if the leak is around the shaft, wouldn't it be just to reclamp the boot? As an alternative to the metal clamps, you can use a quality tie-wrap, as they are easy to fit and easy to get enough clamping force with. Iirc, there are threads on mud...

If tightening the V-type drive belts doesn't help, it might be that the belts are bottoming out, and then you can tighten until something breaks and still not get a good grip. The belts have to contact on the sides only. When they wear, they creep further down into the groove. When they touch...

According to good practise, it is time to change the injection pipes and have the nozzles refurbished/checked/changed. Make sure you get the right nozzles, as there was a change in 2002/2003 (different pressures, spray pattern and IP control). There is a number engraved on each nozzle which the...

What is the model code and month of manufacture of your 100? All the HDJ-100 had the 1HD-FTE engine, from 1998 to 2007.

Sounds like it could be the accumulators, yes; but you have to check the ahc pressures, the vehicle height, and the height sensor readings to get a better picture of the state of the system. Maintenance of the AHC system is easy, but you need to have the FSM and TechStream or similar. For...

As Jon says - read codes - might give some insight, for someone who knows how the AHC works. "...has been no trouble at all" - does that mean a lack of maintenance of the suspension system? Important info missing: Land Cruisers come in different flavours and in order to get specific info/help...

...and when, what conditions? A hole in the wheel well to the quarter panel space could give enough splash from the wheel to drip down the backside of the plastic panel.

Did you select the correct vehicle market, model and year in the settings, or do you not get that far?

The thing with the 5-sp box is that is is waaayyy smoother than the older 4-sp. And the engine, ECU, IP and nozzles had some changes at the same time as well. HVAC controls on Navi-screen, yes, a bl00dy nuisance. But there are versions without navi, which has normal buttons for hvac -- just a...

Body & frame dimensions:

...and is Fluid Film similar to Lanoguard?

The original kit is very good. Just get the right bits according to the parts list. For torsion bars you could even get 2nd hand.

Agree that the first check should be the idle switch on the accelerator pedal. Quite common fault.

Make sure to use the Toyota/Denso OEM oil filter. Aftermarket types vary a lot in quality, and none of them offer the same filtering of both main and bypass oil flow. Did your power steering fluid smell burnt? I found that a good synth Dexron III lasts longer than regular. How many pumps of...

Psst: Next time, use the OBD plug below the steering wheel. The Diag plug under the bonnet is not for OBD readers.

The factory jack is sturdy and fast. Put a 10 mm thick hook-screw in your strongest battery drill, and lift the whole front of the car in 7 sec. Of course, a hi lifting, 3t garage jack is also fast, but weighs in at 70 - 100 kg.

Far down on port side. At the bottom crankshaft bearing between 3rd n 4th cylinder. Just behind (to the rear of) the left engine mount.

5 - Keep speed under 70 km/h (but over 60 to keep converter locked) 4 - Plan well ahead so that you don't need to use the brakes much 3 - Narrow tyres with high pressure 2 - Always start with a pre-heated engine, also in summer. The engine is more efficient at normal operating temp, and the...

How much do they sell for?

You seriously have to get rid of that pipe. It's only purpose is to pollute your intake. Remove the pipe, blind off both ends, and connect the water hoses with a short piece of pipe/connector. Or even better, remove the EGR valve as well and put in a straight connector on the intake pipe. There...

Re Auto/Manual, remember you have more torque at the wheels with an auto, because of the torque converter. And the toyota autoboxes are very durable.

Over a month now -- How did it go? I think the normal procedure is to first try and blow it open, and if that doesn't work, to open op and clean it out. That is a bit of work, so if you have a better method, it would be good to hear how it works.

Afaik, in the US you could get it with an integrated receiver, but it didn't have the full 3.5 ton rating, so it's kinda useless for anything but a bicycle rack. Also, there are steel bumpers with receiver built in. One problem with that could be legislation, depending on where you are. There...

Tnx for posting. Very well made.

Thanx, great. Is there one for the 1hd-fte as well? Can't find any reference to the VCO nozzles of the -fte, so I suppose they are not covered.

Clocks from this time period were often personalized to their owners, so it is also possible that "Mle Minas in Crieste" refers to the individual or organization for whom the clock was made, rather than the clockmaker or place of manufacture. That was the answer from Gepetto (ChatGPT) (keep in...

Correction: Studs are not compulsory in scandinavia. Winter tyres are, and not only for scandihooligans. Or rather, you have to be shod for the roads you are driving on, ensuring safe driving. That means that if winter tyres without studs do not give a good grip, you should not drive. Driver's...

The HDJ100 has M-OBD (that's a Toyota version of OBD), which uses the same plug as OBD-ii. To read it, the easiest and cheapest is to use a mini-VCI cable with the TechStream app on any old windows laptop. You find mini-VCI on the net, shipped with a hacked version of TechStream, for around 30...

Where is @Blake01FTE ? Any new info?

That depends on what has been done previously, and what is already included in the coming 200k m service. Valves is fairly easy, but you have to follow the book carefully, specially if you haven't done this type of double lifters before. If it is serviced at a dealer, they probably don't do...

Thinking of getting a Kemppi. I need to learn body repair, fast... Only used stick welder previously. Any experience, group? https://www.unitedwelding.co.uk/kemppi-minarcmig-evo-200---240-volt-148-p.asp

Værsågod.

No, I haven't. But haven't looked much either, just expecting it to be forbidding expensive. How would Denmark be for such a job?

You don't switch off the electric adjustment, only the automatic "up and away" movement whenever you take the key out. (And down again when you put the key in.) That is what wears out the motors. If you only do small adjustments whenever needed, the motors will last for ages. The automatic...

Behind front bumper, a bit to the right of centre, close to the right frame rail. Looks like half a small lip stick.

The electric adjustment lasts for decades, if the automatic feature is switched off and the screws and mechanism cleaned and lubricated regularly (maybe every 5-10 yrs depending on dust level).
