    Soft brake pedal

    I really did not want to open another spongy brakes thread, but after reading so many threads on here and Mud and not finding an answer I am a bit out of options.

    1HD-FT straight vegetable oil

    Since diesel prices in Belgium are going crazy because of the mafia government I am thinking of running my 80 on SVO. It is actually quite cheaper to buy in 1l bottles then diesel at the moment, so probably if I could get it in bulk it will be even more cheaper. My collegue told me "most" VE...

    Steering wheel off centre, something bent?

    I did an offroad trip yesterday and one time i got my wheels (35s) jammed in a deep rut wich gave my steering wheel a big jerk until it blocked, I immediatly hoped it did not bent something as it felt quite nasty. Getting out of that lane back on the paved road again I immediatly saw my steering...

    Stub axle worn groove

    I am rebuilding my swivels and whilst doing the left one i noticed the hub seal has worn a groove in it. As I don’t really have time to wait on a new one, would it be OK to put it back this way? I slide over the new hub seal with a bit of oil and it still seems pretty “tight” even tough I can...

    Speedo neelde jumping

    My speedo needle is jumping up and down sometimes, but it is getting more frequent. Is there a known fix for this, or any idea as to what could cause it ? It is a 1995 24v HDJ80. I believe its an electronic speed signal.

    Diff gears 35”

    I have a 1HDFT hdj80 wich has been converted to the electronic a442f automatic transmission, but still has the stock manual 3.73 gears. Since Im running 35s the gearing is way out because the automatic is supposed to have 4.1 diffs. Im considering swapping in a set of 4.1 diffs, or change my...

    Brake issues

    I have this problem with my brakes for some days and I can’t figure out what causes it. When I press the brakes, i have to push the pedal quite deeper then before, and when I press it hard my 80 gives a pull to the right, also noticable in the steering wheel, it is only for a second, then it...

    1Hdft auto noise

    have a 1995 1HD-FT with A442F autobox, the car has done 300,000km My 80 has a rattle/ticking/grinding noise coming from the engine or gearbox that goes up and down with the RPM so it must be engine or torque converter or gearbox input shaft related I think. It is most hearable inside the cab...

    HDJ80

    I tought I'd finally make a thread for my 80 on here so here it goes. It's a 1995 HDJ80 24valve, converted to auto that is used as my daily driver and weekend warrior. We mostly drive roadbooks in Belgium, Holland and France. Once a year or once in a couple off years I try to take it to the...

    HDJ80 15 inch wheels

    I really want 15" wheels on my 80 because of the very limited choice in 35" tyres for 16" wheels. As you may know, 15" wheels do not fit on the later 80 series due to the larger rear calipers. However, some say a 15x8" steel wheel with a certain offset or spaced out a bit with a small spacer...
