thanks starcruiser, while we are on a subject of cooling. heres my chargecooler setup. the can on the Left, is a expansion chamber that works below water level. basically a air bubble

There was a hole half the size of a 1 p piece on the side of the tube. filled with putty. I cleaned it all off and welded plate over the side. that saves 200 quid!

luckley mate, i got a tig and a mig plant. i am that man that does these things in his dinner break :) everyone needs to know a guy called rich at trow bridge Toyota platinum was spot on in tracking down the part number. top service. thank you rich.

i got all the bolts for the exhaust manifold off but it still wont budge, yea its a pain! less than 50 from amayama! i dident even know that place.

part number is t87208-35260 https://toyota-general.epc-data.com/land_cruiser_prado/kzj95r/8288/electric/8716/87208B/ the part is 199.62 pounds each. I think I'll repair the pipe :)

ok we found the culprit. this tube on top was rusty and appears to of been repaired before I got the car. does anyone know the part number for this? looks like the bolts have rusted in place too. :/

just checked the radiator cap. it appears to be a 0.9 bar 13 psi one. which i think is correct for a gen 3. ill get some coolant and re seat the thermostat later.

i need to check the rad cap, even though it has never given me any trouble before it could be part of the problem. thanks, i will have another go tomorrow and let you know how i get on. thanks for your advice

yea i canceled the part. im sure its fine. i believe, that the coolant that was in there was just rubbish rusty tap water and that boils at a lower temp than Toyotas genuine coolant. i think with a propper flush (after i find the bleed nipple for the coolant) and the right coolant it should get...

its a roughtracks cheaper one. i might just order the other one now and be one with it.

Hey, i did actually put the stat in a cup of boiling water and it opened on. I didn't really flush the engine well. i guess there could of been alot of air in there. do you have a picture of this drainage point? i could not find it earlier.

hmm, its like the thermostat does not open in time. pressure builds up and pushes the seal out. thats why the hose is not blowing. the pressure is building up at the stat. im going to have it looked at tomorrow. then ill probably take it all off again and see if i did anything wrong. thanks guys

Ok, I started it and let it run. I had the radiator cap off and had my hand over it. I could not feel any pressure building up. and i didn't see any bubbles. earlier on, when it was hotter and i was filling it up. it did bubble up a bit. and also it was coming out on up idle but i think that's...

Hello guys, just read through every post. but my overheating problem is different. bit of background. Its a 96 Gen 3 surf. I have installed a stainless 3" downpipe and exhaust myself. I also installed a charge cooler which I made myself. its electronically boosted to 1.1 bar fuel screw has...
