Hi Mark, did you ever rebuild your steering box?

My alternator has just started playing up after fitting new 18 months ago. I have the 120amp version from a 100 series, not OEM, it is a pattern part from Roughtrax. I definitely would not buy this brand again. If you have the original Denso alternator I would just buy a new genuine regulator...

Milner is very cheap for good reason. Symptoms you describe indicate master cylinder. Whether you think OEM quality is overhyped or not, there’s little to match it and definitely not Milner. Fit OEM and be done with it.

Yep

I think increased tyre size, suspension lift and rear springs with a heavier load carrying capacity (that negate proper LSPV functioning) are all factors that undermine proper ABS functioning.

I removed the sensors and used plugs as felix2566 mentioned. Had to order from US but didn’t cost much. To pass MOT all visible trace of ABS must be removed and you need to pull the ABS bulb in the dash

Removing ABS and/or LSPV is completely legal when done correctly. Both improve braking, markedly so if running larger tyres. See https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/removing-the-abs.146500/

No affiliation. Just looks like a decent product at a decent price. Well reviewed on ih8mud. They’ve got a Black Friday 15% discount with code BF2024 80 Series Landcruiser Plug-and-Play Keyless Remote Entry - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] Just ordered one for myself.

There’s good info here on rebuilding the diff lock and importance of magnet orientation locker actuator rebuild - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

I feel for you Brendan! It’s a right pain when bolts start stripping or breaking.

As per my previous post I would suggest considering no lift unless you really need it. The Foam Cell Pro shocks are a much better shock than the standard and worth the upgrade. Simply fit with standard height springs instead of 2” lift springs. It is the spring that lifts the vehicle not the...

The 200 is IFS so I would avoid any suspension lift unless absolutely necessary as will impact your front suspension travel. Standard height Foam Cell Pro would likely be a good option for what you describe. As Ben said above, if you don’t need any additional load carrying capacity I would only...

I used this company to rebuild the AC compressor on my 80. Much cheaper than a genuine replacement. My compressor wasn’t listed on the website but gave them the part number and they said yes. Automotive Compressor Repairs Ltd+44 (0)1932 571980 - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Frank, Amayama is super easy to use if you’ve never done so. I’ve put a screenshot of all the part numbers below. Don’t think I missed anything.

No, I was just curious. Whilst silicone are supposed to have some advantages, I like the security of OEM knowing it lasted this long.

I just priced up all those hoses on Amayama and it came in at £49.32 + £11.62 shipping for genuine…….

It was the bowl that caught my eye

I’m in Bournemouth :tearsofjoy: Whatever postage is I’m okay with it. They’re good spares. I’ll PM re payment

Please could I take them? Happy to pay for delivery if you’re up for posting….

Thank you. I have the same issue! Partsouq it is.

Can I ask where you got your new prop? I need a new rear for the same reason.

Ride quality will be far more affected by tired bushes and shocks than springs. Old Man Emu do standard height stock weight springs. May be worth trying a supplier that stocks them. A super cheap hack would be to fit spring spacers to get back to original height.

I’ve sent an email to check they’re really in stock and available! Cartek discontinued them several years ago….

I used to have one of the Cartek alarms in the top hose Coolant Level Sensors | CARTEK Motorsport Electronics - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] To me this is the perfect solution. Alarm is immediate if coolant level drops. Unfortunately they are no longer available and I have been unable to...

I would suggest speaking to a good turbo specialist or doing some additional reading. Post turbo temperatures are next to useless. EGT probe needs to be pre-turbo in the manifold.

Yeh exactly that. Solves problem of working properly but braking won’t be sufficient to offset bigger wheel size. The other thing that messes with it is having springs with a higher weight carrying capacity and more weight in the vehicle. In this situation rear braking will be totally inadequate.

Before you do anything, adjust your LSPV to fully open (lift the arm up as far as it will go) - just use a cable tie or something, go for a drive and see how the brakes feel. LSPV is designed for standard height and 31 tyres. Whilst you can adjust for the lift so it works properly again, it...

Such a good idea this. I’ve wanted one of these since you built the first one. I already have some of the sensors, it would be great to replace all the gauges with a single screen. I’d definitely be interested to know what is involved. Could it also do boost pressure?

They were too badass for me!

IIRC cold reading is meaningless. ATF level needs to be read at correct temp following FSM procedure. I have a large ATF cooler and there’s no drain back when engine is off.

Ben, I would suggest doing some research, especially on ih8mud in the diesel section. There is a lot of good data from people who’ve run 1HZ turbos reliably and those that have cooked them. Alternatively, seek some info from a company in Australia who offers turbos. You could try GTurbo. 1HZ...

Just installed EGT in mine. Post turbo is a waste of time, needs to be pre-turbo in the manifold. Best location for 1HDT shown here Best EGT probe location 1HDT - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] Will be much the same for 1HZ and FT.

I had the Cartek one. I installed it in the radiator top hose. Brilliant solution for raising alarm if you ever sprung a leak - would alert you way before any temp gauge would. Unfortunately, it had an electrical short internally and melted itself. It is now no longer available. I’ve not come...

Medium is 200x140cm, XL is 220x160cm. These are external dimensions so internal is less. Clamshells lose a good 20cm of usable length. I am 182cm and the Medium clamshell was too short for me to lie out straight without my head touching the fabric, which was annoying. Internal dimensions of...

I’d give a second vote to James Baroud. They are much higher quality than most. So long as you don’t get the one with a load space on top they’ll accommodate your bedding. Having previously had a JB clamshell I’d have one again but would absolutely get the larger size. The medium is too small...

It was waxoil. Not my preference but they swear by it and I think they’re all much of a muchness for my application given I will regularly top it up.

Stu, I may have some. Can check later today

Last few pictures now under seal has been done. Truck is now washed and ready for an MOT this Saturday. Then I start addressing the paintwork.
