Good morning Dave. Many thanks for your very knowledgeable and informative response to my tyre issue. My 80 is being re inspected tomorrow at a different itv station, an ACTUAL Spanish Qualified Mechanic is presenting it. Hopefully if there are defects he will verify the seriousness of what is...

Does anybody know what other make wheels with fit an 80. Nissan, mitsubishi etc

Hi, no its not the size that is the problem, it is Homologated for thr rims and tyres, no probem previous years with ITV,

Thanks , I will check the rules tomorrow on usable age tyres, I read somewhere it was a recommendation only after 10 years. So maybe Dot age wasn't a problem. No bulges, cuts, good tread. No idea.

I had never heard of a dot code till today. The inspector didn't say what was wrong with the 2 rear tyres. The dot code I have found is B 65 CF 41 46 15. I have looked on bfg website but I can't decode it.

Hi Dave, I hadn't thought of that. Good thinking, will make enquiries on Monday. Thanks

I am waiting for my local garage who knows someone in another test station to have time to take it there. I have been off the road for 2 weeks now, am considering buying 4 just for the test and change them back after. Would even consider 4 15 inch rims. Desperate for a solution.

They are a law to themselves here. No details of what is wrong. She id 31vyears old and pretty sure they are trying to get old vehicles off the road. It passed ok last year. I need to find someone connected to reinspect maybe, buddy system, local mafia.

Hi all, on my 80 that I bought last year, it came with BFG T/A 35X12.50R15LT 113Q tyres on all 15 inch rims. The Mot people here in Spain now claim they are no good. No defects, good tread, unknown fault. I cant see or identify their age of manufacture. Arseholes here in Spain. What more modern...

Update to my high tick over problem. I decided to have my pump rebuilt by Bosch locally. Unfortunately I didn't find out what the fault was. She was put through the ITV (MOT) today and flew through, no problems with emissions at all. Unusual here on 30+ year old vehicle they are keen to get...

Hi, if you are going to break 1 of the 80's I am interested in both rear arch flares and both mud flaps.

Not really a shock, bad choice of words, just doesn't feel like a smooth transition from neutral to drive.

True, just dont like the gbox absorbing the shock. Me probably being finicky. Lol

Hi all after trying all the advice, it leads to an internal pump issue. In garage now for a full pump refurb, it's only done 260000 kms but I don't know apart from the obvious what's been done in the last 30 years, so will report back when I get the results of the refurb back.

Thanks Dave2000, interesting advice. i have tried asking in a couple of diésel workshop around Gandia, no luck finding one so far.

Yes Michael80 looked at the photo of the injection pump and saw a lever was missing. Not got round to taking it apart yet. I live in the wilds up a mountain so need to be sure it will still drive after I mess with it. I cant get a blanking plate here so would prefer to get a new unit and missing...

Just thinking about removing and blanking off the acsd, will getva new gasket tomorrow, but with it already missing the conection rods what will that achieve.

Thanks, I have a 2006 Iveco and touch wood she has never regenned. The hdj80 doesn't have any of this ccomputerisd crap which I why I bought her I hope I will get a new gasket for it and use that as a patern to make a plate and get a pre itv test done. Cheers Bud

Removal not revelation.

I read somewhere on here, that revelation and fitting a blanking plate would have a negative effect on emissions. They are very strict here in Spain.

So as I understand the situation from all your help, remove non return, replace with new length 12mm I'd pipe, source missing link rod from and wax sensor.

What is the ASCD, can anybody post photos of what is missing, am I going to have to take her toToyota For a fix. Hope they say the fip needs replacing.

Thanks Grimbo, great information, not sure when i can make enough time to follow all the stages but will make a start getting the corrrct size rubber pipe and get rid of the non return valve.

Found the hand primer pump on top of filter, no weepage, what next please.

Hi Grimbo, no the non return valve was already fitted when I bought her. I have changed the fuel filter, I have checked fuel line to tank, no sign of any weepage so don't know how air can get in, I will get some more fuel pipe and try it well higher than fip inlet, and also check hand primer...

Hi, attached is a photo of the pump, power steering pump sorted, a few seals replaced, pump reported as good.

The truck in the garage with a power steering leak at the moment so can't take photo of the pump, I will post as soon as I can. Thanks

Just for info, engine starts at slightest turn of the key both from cold or hot, no visible leaks externally, no smoke, no misfires. Only had her 9 months so have-nots previous history. 260kms on speedo 7.

Hi yes I think it did suddenly happen, I cantv remember when, just getting annoyed with it.

Hello Gtimbo, I have a 1992 4.2 turbo diesel auto 1 hdt engine

Morning all. My idle rpm from cold is about 600 but rises to 925 when warmed up, I thought it was a hand throttle fault, stripped that yesterday, apart from a faulty knob iis fine. Seen to have sufficient free play at pump for normal throttle. Any clues please. It doesn't feel right selecting...

Many thanks Chris, i bought a 1992 12v auto, 9 months ago and love it. Great article, very informative.

Hi Felix, sorry I did misunderstand you. I will check with Carl Regards

Hi, have done your French trip yet, are the rear flares still avaiable

Hi all, my 1992 hjd80 1hdt 4.2 has a groaning sound from the power steering on cold start each morning. Temperature here in Spain is about 2 to 3 degrees. I need to top up the reservoir with about 150mls dextron II every couple of months. There does appear to be any visible leakage. Any ideas...

Many thanks, I am in Spain and nevervthought of ebay.

Hi, 1992 hdj80 switches for the centre dashpanel, auxiliary lights iscwhat I want them for, or any switches that will fit .

Hi all, looking for 3 original centre dashpanel switches. Tried New from Toyota no luck.

Hi, about 3 weeks of daily water loss, the garage In Spain took her in to sort the leak, All they did was to smear some sealer on s leaking core plug. They claimed to not have a coolant pressure tester. Went to my local garage the following week and had it pressure tested. Booked it in, head...

Thanks Ciderman, will have a look.

Thanks Bazz, when I rotate ghe knob nothing happens, guess I will have to strip it off and lubricate it. I yhought ygat was what the knob was for but wasnt sure. .Apologies about my ignorance, new to her. Much obliged.

Hi, has anybody got access to sn owners manual for my 1992 4.2 vx in PDF I can download.

Thanks Buddy

Hi Bazz 1340, did you find the answer to your rpm problem. I live in Spain and have only had the 80 for about 6 months. My idle rpm on colf start is about 600. After driving anywhere it then sits at 900 , does this sound like a pump issue. Recently had the head skimmed but cant remember if it...

Hi, wonderful. Its not urgent, its a job that needs doing as part of the refurb. Thanks

Thanks Shayne

Hi still looking for a pair of rear arch extensions. Would prefer source to be in the EU due to Spain charging mega taxes for stuff from UK. Also can anybody tell me what the Spanish is for these parts. Thanks

Hi all, thanks for previous advice. Head Gasket leaking externally has been resolved. Looking at the old Gasket, there were additional faults internally. Head planed, all good now. Engine sounds and runs better, as one would expect after repairs.Just for info the cost here in Spain was around...
