Don't listen to the Naysayers. AHC is not a suspension problem. AHC / TEMS is a suspension system that surpasses any conventional suspension system in performance and comfort. The durability of the different parts is normally better than conventional suspension parts. The shocks (or rather...

Here are 2 forum threads for you to read. Might need a couple of days :) to plough thru it all. It's a good start: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/the-abcs-of-ahc-how-to-measure-flush-and-adjust-all-in-one-place.1211999/...

A marvel of a little camper. Looks great, and great photos. That desert pic looks like the truck is at home. Could have been in Sinai. I hope you get many years of good cruising.

:text-worthless: A 40 is the most classy cruiser. Well done getting one, and looking forward to see a superb resto.

2100 rpm at 60 mph sounds right, or maybe a bit low. 1400 at 60 mph would mean a serious up-gearing from stock. https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/high-revs.142477/

Welcome to the forum. Since your flag says "gas engine", i'm guessing that you'll find some pointers here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/tps-apps-problems.127474/ Sorry for pointing out of this excellent forum.

Nothing sweeter than a clean frame. Looks a bit lonely though, with only wheels for company.

Welcome to the forum. That sounds like a great cruiser put to good use. Good job on the gearbox - I suppose it's a manual then... A pic or eight of the old girl would be welcome, both a nice portrait and of your adaptations, modifications and specific use.

Just to give another perspective: ATF cooling is done a few different ways, depending on model, year and market. Some have only the combined radiator which cools the engine coolant as well as the ATF. Some have a modest coil of atf pipe in front of the radiator in addition, before the atf goes...

Haven't looked at TS for a long time now, but iirc you are supposed to get 1HD-FTE. And again iirc, it's the year first, so that -0108 means "up to august 2001 production". And I suppose you have found that there is a difference between current DTCs and stored/historical DTCs.

You can get in an 8" fully inside the opening, like this Alpine I fitted a few years ago: It was a squeeze. They still have them: Universal Head Units and Navigation - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] Might even fit with one of those 9" Freestyle with the separate "button bars", as there is plenty...

Afaik, the book says you have to take it to a diesel specialist and have the injection checked. But I've heard that people change the spill valve without doing anything else. Can someone bring us some real knowledge here?

:text-worthless: Welcome to the forum, btw.

Great 80. Btw, I've always liked reading your forum posts here. Great postings - great humour.

Free tip: Instead of an expensive diagnosis tool, you could just get a miniVCI adapter for 30 £ and a free download of TechStream, t0yota's own reader. And it reads all the up to 14 ECUs you might have. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/how-to-techstream-in-5-minutes.1034923/ What I've found the...

This is from page DI-6 in RM617E. You also find it on page DI-6 in RM1179E. The Diagnostics parts of the FSM (-s different parts) are often the best place to start for hunting down solutions. And before that, it's good to have read the New Car Features section at the beginning of the FSM, as it...

You are right. And from aug 2002 production onwards it was adopted also in Australia, according to the fsm. In Europe from 1998. I probably read something on the lcool forum back in the early days, and didn't check the facts. Sorry. Anyhow, it's made up of a grid of narrow holes, like a bundle...

For the blink method, you can use pin 13 (TC) and pin 4 (ground) in the OBD-plug under the dash instead. Read the FSM.

Re Cat: There isn't an actual catalyser, but a particulate filter, and it does get blocked. But I agree with 79r that this doesn't sound like your problem here, as a partly blocked part.filter gives a problem at high power, not at low. Typically when going up a long, steep hill. Engine then goes...

Don't know howzit on the manual, but if you have a trailer harness with reverse light, that's a common place to get all sorts of shorts.

Yes, that's a typical rookie ignorance (I've been there...). ATF level has to be checked with the engine running. Otherwise you end up with a too low level and a malfunctioning gearbox. So, on e.g. the A750F without the dipstick, you do the last topping up with the engine running, until it...

Haynes for the 100 is useless in most cases, and directly misguiding in some. I have used Haynes for many cars up through the years and it's been good help, but the LC100 version must be the worst they ever made. The FSM can be bought, or you could find an online version LC100 Workshop Manual -...

Specs were changed to the lower temp because the level would be a bit low if using the higher temp. If this is on a 100 series, the FSM check procedure involves the check light coming on at the old (wrong), higher temperature. Either use other means of measuring, or just go for a half hour...

Tested my father's Enyaq. Two drawbacks: Doesn't like colder than minus 20 C, and no rear seat heat. At minus 22 C, after driving 140 km and draining the battery to 25%, the top charging speed started at 25 kW on a 150 kW charger. Went up to 40-something after 20 mins. The 12 V battery low...

^^This! Adding: Diff housing of cast iron, actuator housing aluminium, motor with copper and carbon, and a steel housing -- All this makes up a great battery for driving the corrosion. Add som road salt to speed it up 10 times. I keep mine soaked in fluid film - don't know if it helps, but it...

Cruisers have 4.2 l i6 diesel or 4.7 l v8 petrol, which run a million km without any issues. Anything smaller than 4 litres is only half a cruiser, or Medium Duty as TMC calls it. :text-bump:

If it's not a pipe or fitting, it could be a leaking shock. They can start leaking when the pressure gets too high, typically when loading the car for an expedition. There are several cases of shock leaks that have disappeared after getting the ahc pressure within specs. I had a leaking shock...

Welcome to the forum, Harold. So, that's a hzj80 I suppose. The 80s are the perfect land cruisers: drivable, reliable, modern enough, not too much electronics, etc. They also look very good if not clad with all kinds of plastic profiles like fenders and wheel arches. I suppose you will keep it...

Adding on: Depends how it looks as well, with regards to rust. If mine had looked like Peach's pic above here, I could have gone for "surgery from underneath". But if it looks like a lump of rust, and the 12 mm head bolts have to be ground away, it is so much easier through a generous 64 mm hole...

This control module, is perchance the EDU, which is a kind of power supply for the Spill Control Valve on the IP? It sits just to the rear of the fusebox. Ground connection to the EDU, and connection from EDU to SCV, has always been a potential problem area on the hdj100.

Same lower limit on the 100. And it's useless unless the road is flat. I live in Norway!

Most common: Alternator plug Changed/leaking windshield - water on ECU or junction block under dash. Ground strap for engine (at engine mount and rear of top). Same for batteries.

Yes, a rubber "bump stop" that can be adjusted on each side (front corners). But if increasing the height makes the hood too high on that corner, you have to instead adjust the latch down a bit. Iirc the mounting holes are oval (just like on the hinges).

Not any kind of test results, but, I've had only bad experience with Cooper, and nothing but awesome good experience with BFG AT Ko2 (and Yokohama). Size 265/75-R16. Coopers were good the first year, but not the best of grip, or balance, or noise. Frequent punctures, both sidewall and tread...

Is this a HDJ100 or a HZJ100 - or: does it have the electric brake booster or a traditional vacuum booster? Handbrake light, is actually a general brake fault light as well. If you have an audible alarm in addition, it might be a brake booster problem. Depends on which system you have. I suggest...

TEMS and AHC is the same system, so if you have a leak and the Off-light is on, you have no tems. The car will be on the bump stops, but with some downforce from the steel springs so that you will maintain a fairly good traction even if the road is not even. You will have no damping, so drive...

Here's a thread with a pic of the cabin temp sensor, and the pipe it is supposed to be attached to. You can see the black bracket in the cover where the sensor is supposed to click in. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/climate-control-problem-99-lx470.1226642/#post-13386299 Looks like it is...

OK?

Three known (to me) issues, in order of likelihood: - The temp sensor for cabin temp is not in place, which often means that it has fallen back to the heat outlet under the dash, sensing heater temp instead of cabin temp. On a LHD, the sensor is at the drivers knee, behind a tiny grille in the...

Welcome, Chubby. 2004 is the perfect year, of course. Would that be a HDJ100? Pics are always appreciated. I'm very curious to know what kind of ugly problems you can have before half a million km? Rust is the only one I can think of.

Check if butterfly valve in intake opens. It's vacuum operated via an electric actuator/solenoid. Try with diesel directly from a bottle with a hose straight to IP. That circumvents the tank sieve, fuel pipe, diesel bug, and main filter.

Welcome to the forum. Just to be on the safe side, when it comes to car battery jumping: This thread is specifically for cars with two batteries in a parallell connection, i.e. still plain 12 volts, no separators/dividers, no 24 volt start, no back-up battery system, no DC-DC charger between...

Model? Build Year? Build month? Market (made for)? (I've take on the job of inquisitor...)

The alarm and lock system depends on that the dome light and door switches work. On your version, it looks like the 10A Dome fuse is fed directly from the 100A J/B 2 fuse, which is on the fusible link block under the battery terminal.

Depends on the maintenance. Since this is a hybrid suspension system with regular springs in addition to the hydropneumatic AHC, the load is shared between the two. As the steel springs weaken over time, the AHC will be forced to take more and more of the load, which will affect suspension...
