Took me a while but I found this, this is my thread for the very same subject. viewtopic.php?f=14&t=11295

Well then guys, I am still working on this but today I think that I am getting closer. One of the big problems that I have found is that when the hand brake is applied you use all the cable. Which is why I am using these photos from steve as you can clearly see this. Today I fitted some shims...

If you can wait till tomorrow I will ask my brother in law, he is a timber merchant and just happens to be calling round tomorrow. Steve

Worked lovely when I did mine. And can still hear the fan even now when she starts to get hot.

I think that only Einstein could answer that Question....... Steve

What number you missing.....let us know we all may be able to help, unless it was one of the ones that no-one found then you are by your self.....but I could be persuaded to look for you if I can drive in my truck round the farm ;) :whistle: Steve

Me too, just off to the Lincomb web site to see if the forms are on there yet :D :D Steve

I thought that it was common knowledge that the D4D had issues with injectors etc. There has been a problem with all of them from the Rav4 up. I know that on the smaller D4D's there has been a re-call fro injectors and I know that Local Toyota dealer has even done complete engine changes under...

Same down this end of the country has not stopped all day. But the truck is all packed the fridge is chilling down ready to receive the goodies.......can't wait to hit the road and head north and get some sunshine... Steve

A bit after the event this, but if you are interested Tony the guys at where I got my Exhaust from (Long Life of Amesbury) make bespoke air cleaner and filter systems. They mainly do them for racing cars but I am talking them into doing something for me that will make the Safari snorkel and Mr...

here in Dorset at the moment it is windy and raining constantly. For me personally I would not mind a restricted weekend as the people and atmosphere are what make it. And may be we could do some extreme recovery and assistance in the woods that are accessible. I would be prepared to do this for...

As Jon has said, if you are at Lincomb we will take a look there. I will bring my thin wall cable, multi meter and crimps. I am sure that between us all we will sort it for you. Steve

Olazz, Just a quick thought have the lights been wired up in series instead of parralel, the easiest way to find out is if you were to remove the bulb from one light does the other one go out. If it does then it has been wired up in series and this could be the problem and give you the reading...

You are not wrong there the hardest bit was continually earning enough Brownie points with Mrs N to get out to the workshop and, as she saw it, sit down and do nothing :roll: They just don't understand the engineering process, a lot of thinking has to take place before, during and after...

It was just the shortest route. I have run a 200 amp cable from the battery side of my winch electronic isolation switch which is on the right hand side of the bulkhead under the bonnet. As the easiest grommets to get to are just underneath that switch to allow access to the cabin it made sense...

Hi Gav, The Family are doing well Sophie has just had her first birthday. She is now 76 cm tall and out grown her first baby seat so have now fitted the next MOD......a recaro young sport. Exelent bit of kit. Cow not included :D

Well it has been a long time in coming but at long last I have finished the latest boot boxes for my truck. The metal (12mm box steel) from metal 4 u, which I have to say gave me a fantastic service even down to the delivery driver who carried the order around the block as he couldn't get his...

Gents, Today I took the old girl for her MOT and I am pleased to say that she past with no problems. So why tell you that. Well here is the thing, couple of weeks ago the Brake compensator valve spring had snapped. Toyota do not sell the spring as a individual item and I was not going to pay...

Tea? whats that and where do you get it???? :D The Liquid that is drunk means that the stories get better the later it is... ;) I am now definitely going to be there. Steve

By bridging out certain terminals in the diagnostics plug under the bonnet and driving a certain speed over a certain distance the ECU will look at the system and via flash codes using the ABS light let you know what it finds. In my case it noticed a low voltage return from my O/S/F...

Reference your ABS light, That means that the ECU has seen a problem and that it has put it self into a safe mode ie turning the ABS off. When you had your ABS activity was it below about 5mph just as you are comming to a stand? I had a simmaller thing happen on mine but only when on full lock...

Keep it you will be hard pushed to find another vehical that is as capable as the L/C. Mine is just about to go over 190000 miles and still goes through the MOT every time first time. Steve

No, All you have are the 4 door speakers which as you say make a really good noise. I will just say that when you buy your wooffer that you get it on a trial basis as I found that the stock speakers are very good and the addition of a wooffer was.....well not worth it and the space was used for...

The worst thing about the 'Plain' is the flint....if you are not careful it can be a tyre muncher, make sure you have your spare with you I will be as bold as to say that with this many of us on the plain I would expect to see two or three of us with punctures. Steve

I have just sent an E-mail so may be I will be there. On the meeting up front, if your interested, there is a Burger van that is usually open early Exeter side of the Countess services on the A303 or one of those pub type things that are open early and do a breakfast for a fiver in Amesbury...

I will be there, have not looked at next years rosta yet but that will not matter I will take a sicky if need be :D :D Just let us know price and format Tony. Steve

I am sorry to say Garry that it was one of us that was responsable, he/they were seen by a few of us and I really do hope that he/they PM Tony with his/their apologies. It would be a shame if we lose this fantastic event because of the actions of one individual. Steve

Here are some pictures of mine, hope they answer your question. Steve

Yep that is the depth that I filled too but I used 10000 cst which is a bit thicker so that may be the reason. I did a lot of reserch and it was a toss up between 7000cst or 10000 cst and it was just the 10000 figure was used more than the 7000 so I plumped for 10000cst. Yes mine is AT and as...

Thats the thing.... it had been such a long time.....but it was not until I fixed my fan and started getting the woosh noise every time that I started up that I remembered that I was getting the woosh before the over heating problem started and that I was not getting it when I was over heating...

Well guys here it is I have been away for the last three weeks and been fully loaded with the Mother, wife, and Daughter. The boot was also full of the camping gear and I put the old girl through her paces......the truck not Mum. First off I noticed that I was getting the woosh from the fan on...

Well I found some oil so today I overhauled the viscous fan. So I thought that I would share my day with you. Firstly I removed the fan from the car and took it to the workshop. Removing the outer bolts was easy enough but they are cross head so make sure the correct size cross head driver is...

Well here we are better late than never....these are some of the Pics that were taken for me.. I would like to say thank you to Steve and Tony for being my co driver on the special events. Tony with Lil Blue Chris saying somthing like CAN'T STOP!!! Here are a few of...

Maxlux, Hi I would be realy interested in this next year if it is on, I had a lot on this year, new daughter and other events that clashed with this one. I am always looking for somthing new and a Trip Poland would be a nice one to do. If there is an event next year could you let us know as...

OK forget what I said about Fastrax which it turns out is CML distrabution............I just got an e-mail it will take 5 - 8 weeks to get my order....think I will tell them to stick it and try somewhere else. Steve

Those are some amazing pics Ladys and Gentlemen, Spain is just a fantastic place for off roading and there are some wonders down there. Begining to wish that I had come with you. Maybe next time ;) Steve

Found some at Fastrax they do from 100 cst up to 100000 cst, I have ordered 8000 and 10000 and will do some experimenting to see what are the best results. According to the links I posted above the Toyota stuff is 10000cst and that is like treacle. Steve

Went to Mr .T Today and the oil is not available in the UK from main dealer will see what Ian can do. Steve

I shall PM him now and see what he can do. Steve

Good stuff, I have a receipe for Bunny Chow and I am itching to try it out. And I think that you could be a good critic for that one. Steve

Me me me me............count me in I will be there............sod work, it is so much fun at Lincome that I will not miss it even if I am still over heating.. Steve

No I was not hoping for solution to the problem Bob I was interested if the thermostat worked for you or not, it has not worked for me but I think that I have the 82 fitted not the 76. All the reading that I have done on the viscus fan makes me think that is my problem but I am trying to cover...

Funny you should show that I have found these and found them very interesting reading especially the first one Toyota seem to enginier there coolant systems to be just enough but any little discrepancy shows up qickly. Also the viscous coupling has a life span of around 200000 KM and mine is...

I put my ASFIR plates through their paces this last week I had my truck sat on the plates with the front wheels off the ground. I just pushed on and slid over the rock and was well impressed to how lttle dameage was done to the plates. Will take piccy's tomorrow when the sun is out of the plates...

Thanks guys, I think that I may go down the viscous fan route, but as you have seen I have brought Bobs link back to the fore and will wait for a reply from him. Mr T. wants arround £270 for a new one. That link was an interesting one Steve, mine has or is suffering from all listed ie...

Very interesting read, Here is the bummer though I have changed the thermostat on mine and has made no difference, but I have the very same symptoms. I can not remember the raiting though so will take it back out and check. Like you I am confused as to why the thermostat is on the cold side of...

Nice job, Mine don't look like that any more :D :D Steve

Hi all, I know that this has been covered before but I would like to run this past you guys before I take the head to find nothing. Now then as some of you know I have had a problem for a while now and I have been to France doing the Massif and had a chance to do some serious observations. Now...

I have the same problem with mine and with the same questions i went to see my mate who is the techy at my local toyota dealer......basiclly there is nothing that can be done to retention them on the 95's :( . Steve

All packed and leaving shortley, I will be stopping off at BOAB to pick up some new toys :D :D . Only bummer my co driver has blown out so I am now solo. Steve
