Again thanks for your reply I actually changed the solenoids for brand new ones and i cleaned alot of crap from the filter and from the pan It has made a difference but sometimes it is still harsh So i think ill do a flush with fresh ATF fluid and try that Don't get me wrong it does...

Thanks for your reply is that adjustable in some way?

I have a new filter on the way which I will change I dont think any wires on the solenoids are broken as it goes through all the gears its just abit harsh so I think it will be the solenoids them selves

I personally think its down to the solenoids. some a442fs have cables for the kickdown and from my understanding on several posts and the haynes manual mine has a switch that sends a signal to the ecu to tell it when to kickdown instead of a cable so it's electronic and can't be adjusted

so after looking for a cable and referring to my haynes manual a number of times it looks like mine has a kick down switch which I'm assuming it's not adjustable like it says in the book, don't get me wrong it does go through the gears up and down its just abit clunky sometimes and also when...

thanks very much ill check this out

brilliant thank you

thank you for your reply where would that cable likely to be on a 1hdfte engine?? cheers Mark

P.s check the throttle cable from the gearbox to the engine / fuel pump as if thats worn like mine was beforehand it also prevents the gearbox from engaging. I did have a small write up on here somewhere. do you mean the pressure cable that can be adjusted?? I did have a problem this morning...

hi guys got some bad gear shifting going on not as smooth as it should be so I'm going to remove the solenoids and clean them out and aswell as the filter if that doesn't make a difference I will replace them. what would you recommend cleaning them with?? 2000 100 series 4.2 diesel a442f...

yeah of course i was just worried about destroying the gear box but after another run in it today it all seems to be fine

I dont have any problems but I've heard if changing out really old fluid for new can do more harm than good

so yesterday I decided to change the ATF fluid I drained 10 litres and refilled with new the truck has 194k miles on the clock and the previous owner said he'd never changed it the fluid was very brown maybe black in a different light and there was a few bits of swarf in the old oil any...

well that's a bit of a bugger thanks for your help once again ps, techstream and cable are on their way over here

this is the one I am looking at but would this fit a 2000 100 series

hi guys is there much difference from a 2000 100 series steering wheel to a 03 or 05 steering wheel the reason I ask is because I want to replace my year 2000 to another one but the earliest I can get is a 2003 to 2006 cheers mark

yeah nice idea shame really

there is certainly alot of 100 series here I see all the time theres probably more 80 series here and I know a few people with 200 series here

trying to

yeah lots of places and other islands to go to and alot of offloading opportunitys I'm just glad diesel is cheap here currently 1.03€ at the moment I couldn't afford to run it in the uk

mine is 2000 with 191k miles on the clock I got it o 175k

yep I know where the port is mine is a uk import RHD. the price of a 2and hand landcruiser over here is absolutely crazy they are still selling for 15k to 25k(euros) got mine last year for 10k I'll get onto looking for techstream. glad you mentioned it I got a code reader from europarts...

that is very help full I'll have a look for it I'm based in the canary islands (lanzarote to be exact) and that would be a very useful piece of kit I don't suppose you would need a certain type of ob2 cable ??

techstream I'm not even sure what that is?? I'm guessing its software for talking to the ECU maybe ??

I did search there in wondering if you could take a feed from the central locking to the power fold switch from the open and close ???

hopefully some one with better electrical knowledge better than me can can explain how to do it if it's been done

mine fold with the switch but I was wondering if any one did a modification so that they do fold when you lock the car

has anybody managed to do this so your mirrors fold in when you lock the car and fold out when you open the car ??

Hi guys the pwr etc button next to 2nd start has stopped working does any one know what I can check I'm sure its probably a fuse or relay The green pwr etc light still comes on when you press the button and the 2nd start option works fine When i first got the car and pressed the power button...

This one is for a pedal commander I'm guessing they both do the same thing ???

Theres a video on you tube about this I'll try and find it and it appears to do something to the car in the video

Has anyone fitted a pedal box to the 4.2 diesel for better performance ?? https://www.chiptuning.com/en/toyota/land-cruiser-100-fzj1-uzj1-1998-2007/4-2-td-hdj100-204ps-150kw-4164ccm/pedalbox.html

It's a Haynes Manuel that I got from Ebay try Amazon aswell

Hey guys I've had my land cruiser 5 months and regret buying 1 sooner absolutely love this vehicle I had to do some servicing on it when I got but I got a book and did it my self I did all the belts including the timing belt And oil and filters its actually pretty easy to do on one of these...
