Hi, if you have access you can try welding a large nut (through the center)onto the offending bolt,let it cool so the heat will transfer into the cylinder head and it should come undone quite easily,a mig or gas welder is will be your best bet,thanks Wayne

Hi, if you want the best oil seals take a sample size to your local bearing factors and ask if they have the same size in viton rubber ones they are only about £1.00 dearer and are much better than silicone type seals ,the easiest way to identify them is they are usually brown in colour.I have...

Hi Chris ,I think that the 3 holes (decreasing in size) may have looked better ,you could just draw them on first to see what they look like before going mad cutting and in your mind!I might pop up this afternoon if your in.

Hi, are you still selling them ? cheers Wayne.

I dont think its the filler cap,I haven't heard it hiss when unscrewing and I had left it loosely screwed on as I had to fill up half way through my journey to rule it out.

Hi all ,after going out on my first high speed motorway run my engine seems to stutter when it reaches 2600 rpm ,any ideas would be helpful ,I am going to change the fuel filter tomorrow and maybe check the fuel tank pick up/strainer.If you just rev the engine it seems fine,thanks Wayne.

Hello again, the front diff is now fitted ,it was pretty straight forward the only consolation was that Chris and me looked like a pair grease monkeys by the time we were finished,cv grease has to be one of the most undesirable things on the planet (in our eyes and everywhere else ),we could...

Hi all, I have managed to fit the locker into the rear axle now with not very much pointing or tea for that matter from chris, thanks by the way. It was relatively a straight forward job and most of the time was spent getting those pesky split collets out of the half-shaft flanges, after it was...

Hi, I have 2 land cruisers one is a manual box with diff locks and the other is an auto without the diff locks,I want to know if I can fit the diff locks into the non diff lock axle easily or is it better to swap the complete axles over?I know this sounds daft but I prefer the auto box and have...
