If I remember correctly, you have to use a 1hz timing gear case, but you'd also need a tweaked 1hz pump. More info here: facebook.com/groups/478360412729487/ They are known as a 1hd-ftm If replacing the engine it's still makes more sense to upgrade it to the 1hd-fte... there's a bit more work...

If this was me, I'd be going for a 1hd-fte upgrade from the 100, maybe with a mechanical pump...while I'm in there!

Same here, Black 80, R Reg when it's back on the road, don't hesitate to stop me! :)

Nope, no camera's unfortunately. Looks like mine will have to be the first! They came early on a Monday morning probably between (sunrise) 4:45 am and 08:00. Plenty of light at that time and no police patrolling the streets. Has to be a 2 person job as the jack weighs quite a bit, you have to...

Hey! Good to hear from a local 80 owner! There's not many up here. I've seen a Gold one in Jesmond and a Black 80 with black wheels in Gateshead and a couple others. What colour is your 80?

Thanks guys, your response is overwhelming. If they wanted scrap metal there was plenty to be had in the yard, but they ignored all of it and went straight for the wheels. They've been in before about 6 months back, but took nothing then. ...they also took a DPF from a Volvo V70 too, but left...

Here is a pic of said item.... 4 of these were stolen this morning.

Hi Friends, Someone stole 4 80 series landcruiser Aluminium/Alloy wheels from my back yard early this morning (Monday 21st May). I believe they all have Michelen LTX tyres on them. They made off with my 3 Ton hydraulic jack and some other car related stuff too. I live in Newcastle upon Tyne...

I also had no noise issues just too much backlash in the drive train. Worn bushes, CV joints, drive flanges, could be all contributors to that though. About to take my front diff apart to check the bearings, as it's been running in grease instead of oil. Backlash on the front diff is 0.32mm...

Post some pics of the gear drive pattern if you got some. Would be interesting to see...

Hi Chris, Don't know if you've seen this, but the following website is really useful for (Landcruiser) diff. rebuilds. http://www.gearinstalls.com/ Hope it helps - well done on the find! IQ

Hi Chris, Aye, that's the one. Sorry I meant cross-member not subframe. Do you by any chance have a body lift in already? How did you manoeuvre the pipe out then? I only had one jubilee clip at the rubber hose end (part # 77201A), The smaller pipe also connects to a rubber hose (part #...

Doing this job right now. Where on the body is it safe to use as a jacking point (be it with a length of wood to distribute the load)? How much space does the filler pipe need, I presume it comes across in an arc past the subframe... and then the pipe drops down slightly at the bend with the...

Mark, Did you earth the intake pipe to the block (restoring the connection that was there before)? IQ

Gav, if you have more than one set, please drop me a PM too! :)

Only good stuff Clive ... but no personal experience. See below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SX8aUM03XE

Clive, I got mine around the same price, from abroad, so they very well may be OEM. That's what I was thinking anyway. ​IQ

Andy IIRC UK dealers will want 800ish for one CV. Even the guy at the counter couldn't believe it.

... yeh I have a couple due to go in soon, not many people opt for OEM CV's. HDK being the common choice, with good and bad experiences. For an overlanding rig I think it's a safe choice, let's hope the return matches the price!

OEM CV's this time Clive? IQ

CDL from a Toyota RAV 4 will work too Clive. I found one for about £10 IIRC on eBay. Front Diff could be checked as well for backlash, etc ... if it's coming out? IQ

What's the mileage Frank?

Anyone know where I can get brake pipe nuts to the following spec.: 10mm x 1.00mm Short (approx. 16 mm) w/ tapered Seat (45*) with a non threaded leading edge. Similar to the one on the left in the photo linked below: Have found 10mm x 1.00 but there's no mention of it having the tapered...

Love the attitude of getting stuck right in. Looking good! IQ

Thanks Jack/Chris, will keep those in mind. :thumbup:

Great for pruning rose bushes too... I have a smaller set. What do you use for crimping those large diameter cables Chris? I saw a smaller crimping and cutting tool but nothing for battery cables. IQ

Nice work Chris, looks fab.! Good excuse for a trip, to test it all out. IQ

Chris, what's you source for the BMV600S, any reason why you didn't go for the BMV700S? ...only difference I see is the power supply voltage range? Good tutorial here if you haven't seen it already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JO8AGV4Z7K0 IQ

I have a brand new ARB front bumper, accessories bag is unopened, that I'm not so sure about installing any more, want to take a different direction. I just want to recoup the money spent on it so no bargain here, but I guess if you are in a hurry and need one then could be an option for you. It...
