Big push over two days to get jobs done. Some I’ve had the parts for 18 months just not got round to it! Full service - all fluids and filters. Finally got round to removing ACSD and fitted blanking plate. Replaced kickdown cable and fitted new solenoids. Both surprisingly easily jobs...

Interestingly there is no torque spec for putting the studs in the hub as they don’t need to be tight. Just a slight pinch up will do. If all is clean and assembled properly they are unable to come loose due to the torque applied to the nut.

Yeh agree proper installation with clean dry threads is the major factor. Loctite is not needed. I installed some of the nut huggers when I did mine for peace of mind. If you drive off-road regularly, checking these nuts should be one of the regular checks.

In which case I would suggest a cheaper option is to get an auto-electrician to build the part of the harness you need

Have you tried Amayama and Partsouq?

May be worth checking there’s no play in the harmonic balancer…..

I fitted EGT about a year ago, same place in the manifold. I’ve a 3” exhaust but no pump tweaks. My numbers pretty much match. Highest I’ve seen is just under 1500f (~800c). Any climb in top gear with my foot down easily gets above 1300f (704c) usually hitting 1400-1450f (760-787c). These are...

If the Roughtrax one is the same brand as for diesel I’d stay well clear. Mine lasted a year! Look on eBay for one made by NAPA with a 5 year warranty.

The auto in a 95 80 series diesel is the A442F. This is made by Aisin Warner and used in other non-Toyota models such as Isuzu. The designation for this auto is AW450-43LE. Solenoids for the AW450-43LE can be had for significantly less than from Toyota and will fit the A442F. See here Solenoid...

For what vehicle? There’s good info on Timbrens for the 80 on mud. They’re on my list.

RAM mount with the larger ball. Nothing else comes close.

If that’s the immobiliser then yes

No need to disconnect anything. Is plug and play into the central locking module only.

Mine arrived. Took me 15 mins to fit and all works perfectly.

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.

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?
