Hi Pearse, welcome to the forum and I wish you luck and lots of happiness with my (ex) beloved Monty :) As promised, here's a link to the 24v to 12v starter conversion that I did on Monty... 12 volt starting conversion on a 1997 24 valve manual 80 series LandCruiser - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Thank you for your good wishes. We are hoping to have a great time and we have the route thank you. We were due to do it last September 2019. We were ready, bikes packed, doing a final check on the morning of the sailing before setting out and we got a text to say.... "We are sorry to inform...

Yes please Paul.

First dibs please. Aluminium or steel?

This is what I was greeted with when I removed the cover. Once it was removed, the motor turned no problem by hand so connected it up to 12v and it's running in both directions. I reckon it's just a clean up job. Why do these a breather?

Got the *&^%er without breaking anything although the casing is a bit dinged. It was being held by the top stud, lots of corrosion. Now, two years ago, I put that back on after gluing two of the magnets on. I'd swear I put something on those studs (bottom stud was perfect) but can't remember...

Yeah, if I smash it, I'll be off the road until I get a replacement. Amayama seems to have the best price. I've seen air operated actuators on youtube etc. but I think they were just one offs and I don't think there's any alternative to oem. On the other hand I'm asking myself do I really need...

Thanks Chris. The top stud stayed in place but the bottom came out and is clean and free moving. I actually had it off about two years ago for the first time (in my ownership) and it came off no problem and was in very good condition. I'll keep tapping and hope for the best. Thanks for your help.

Front locker not working and noticed that the breather is not attached. I expect its full of water and corroded at this stage. I’ve removed the electrics and the three retainers from the actuator (one bolt and one nut bottom and one nut top) but can’t get it to budge. I’ve tapped the top of...

When I was having my treatment for PC, the youngest patient I met having the same treatment was 38 yrs. Both my sons (36 and 45) have been tested.

I do.

@Gr8Yota can you tell Sygic to avoid uturns? I gave up using it some years ago because that option wasn't available then.

Mine arrived Friday, thanks.

...youtube video last night....

I got my first EFS suspension from Chris Blakemore in Australia, complete with Australia to Ireland shipping charges. I got my second set from Off Road Attitude in France. Much more agreeable freight charges and Leigh will look after you very well. Here are the details... OFF ROAD ATTITUDE...

I watch him all the time but I found this one particularly entertaining...

Andy, thanks for this great thread. I did a lot of these trails in 2002 on my BMW F650GSD. One thing I noticed was a distinct lack of 4x4 vehicles on any of the tracks. I don't remember seeing any restrictions on 4x4 vehicles at the time but have thought of doing them again in the 80. Are...

Good going Declan. It'll be worth your while checking that your lockers are working while you have the axles off. Much easier to work on while they're accessible.

Just over the road in West Wicklow! Just over the road in West Wicklow! What's your plans for the 80?

Welcome Declan. What part of the country are you?

Glad to hear you are ok Byron. I wish you the best.

I have used the T-Max kit on two different vehicles and both installations have worked flawlessly from day one. Some people don't like the solenoid that comes with it and replace it with relay.

:D:D:D What was it like at the time Mark? Any dryer?

My owners handbook confirms that my '97 24 valve does indeed only have the (!) warning light.

That's good to know. Mine is a '97 24 valve.

I recently replaced my Milners brake master cylinder with an Aisin from Roughtrax. The flashing light is no more (see post #10 above) and the braking has improved.

>>Does this have difflock The picture of the dash indicates that it has a rear locker. Have a look if the switch is there in front of your left knee.

Take a drive and make sure you can live with a fairly underpowered vehicle.

I would like to do this maybe this year. Are there camp sites or can you wild camp?

At the moment Clive I have whatever disks and pads the motor factor had in stock. To say that the braking performance is poor it an understatement and when I'm loaded for a trip it's verging on dangerous. About two years ago I fitted braided hoses and new calipers. Now I'm about to fit a new...

I need to improve the braking on Monty and would welcome advice on which Nitrac disks to purchase. Here's a link to what they have available for my 1997 24v diesel... http://www.nitrac.co.uk/eshop/index.php?route=product/category&path=7663_7917_7940&limit=100 What pads would you recommend also?

It doesn't work. The worst thing about Off Road Attitude is their site. Leigh will answer your English emails and is 51% Irish and 49% British :)

Off Road Attitude in France. http://www.offroadattitude.com/new/accueil.php?menu2=15 They have a sale on but it ends today. They come highly recommended.

...and has now sold it and waiting for a new Troopy to arrive in March...
