Thanks Dave, I will try to find them. I have contacted Koni offices and distributers in many European countries and none of them have it and some think it may not be possible to replace. How can it be possible that a damper for £300+ has a bushing that the supplier can't replace. Any other...

Hi, Does anyone know where I can buy bushings / silentblocks for Koni heavy track raid (the large ones) shocks for a HDJ80? I put toyota orginals in but it failed ITV (MOT). When my mechanic had a look at it they say the originals are too small for Koni shocks. Thanks in advance, Chris

Thanks for the useful info. And thanks Bodie, I have been thinking about getting the King springs so good to know someone paired them with Koni shocks and it worked well. I probably go for these.

Ok thanks. So the view is that any spring works? there seems to be those of the option that shocks and springs should be matched (ie. there may be bad combinations to stay away from).

What is the view on matching springs to Koni raid shocks for the Land crusier 80. It is sometimes said that the best is to get shocks and springs from the same manufacturer but I don't believe Koni makes springs to match their shocks (at least not easily obtainable). So what springs does well...

Hi, I am looking for a HDJ100 original trunk carpet 7 seats grey interior (so grey carpet). Please let me know if you have one in good condition. Thanks, Chris

From what I seen there are several different injector pump OEM numbers depending on the year and engine configurations, and potentially geographical region. My understanding is that any 12 valve should work for a 12 valve but that the 24 valve is different from the 12 valve (Some one told me...

Thanks the advice. The work you did looks very good. Seems you are in Austria which is a bit far from here otherwise I would probably asked for your services. When doing this work I image that I would want to lift the body off and dissemble all the parts (remove engine, gearbox, axles, cross...

Thanks very useful, that is what I was hoping. If I buy it will probably pay someone to do the under carriage restoration since I don't have the space or at least get some help from someone with the space and share the work. I'll go and see the car.

Hi, I am looking at a HDJ100 diesel in France, to potentially purchase. The owner have sent me some photos and there are some significant rust under the car. The rest of the car is ok, just need some interior improvements (new leather for front seats and one or two new door panels. It is full...

Also interested in set of body mounts. Please let me know if available. Thanks

Thanks very useful. The mechanic has been good over the years but have made some mistakes in the past so I guess perhaps he is mistaken about what needs to be done. I will go back and discuss and ask that he points out the precise hose so I can take a photo.

I recently had a sharp whistle on acceleration. My mechanics tells me comes from the ventilation hose being broken/spit and air is squeezed out causing the sound. The part is €25 but I have been told the replacement can be 5 hours due to the oil pan needing to be removed to get to the hose...

I have what sounds like the same on my car. On acceleration there is a penetrating / sharp (i.e. not normal) whistle. It is only on a bit harder acceleration and tends to start on higher RPMs. I had my mechanics look at it and he claims the sound comes from the ventilation hose being broken...

For you guys living in Spain it would be good to share good part suppliers in Spain. Personally I have bought from a company run by David in Sitges (near Barcelona). Reliable, very knowledgeable and fluent in English.

Hi, Sorry for a late reply. I live in Costa Brava, 1 hour north of Barcelona. At some point I will make a trip down south and to Portugal but not sure when. I tend to go with the family around the pyrenees which is close to here.

Thanks for the suggestions I will check with these to companies.

Hi, I have some minor paint damages on my hdj80 emerald green (color code 6M1). Does anyone know where I can buy professional grade paint (i.e. from a reputable company) in spray aerosol cans, or any other format that I can apply myself? Many thanks, Chris

My name is Chris. I am Swedish but currently live in Spain and previous to that I lived in UK for 14 years. When I moved to Spain a I bought a HDJ80 24 valve 1997. Whilst it was in very good condition for its age, I a gradually trying to restore things to as new as possible (as a hobby and to...
