[ELCO Digest] "MOT" for foreign registered vehicle

G

Guest

Guest
My apologies for attaching this request to an unrelated thread but dont know
how to start a new one!
I am having difficulty finding a mechanic/ garage that is prepared to do a
safety check on my cruiser .It is currently in Cambridge and I plan to drive
to the Med in two weeks.As it has been driven from Malaysia to UK since the
last inspection, I would be happier if someone could check the vehicle out.
As I am currently in NZ a friend has tried some garages who say they cant do
it without UK registration and insurance!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi John
Julian, the operator of this mailing list might be happy to have a look. He
is however in the wrong part of the country unless he just happened to be
near Cambridge sometime soon.
Footloose 4x4 have a good reputation and are expedition Landcruiser
specialists based in Peterborough, only 30 miles away...

Hi John,
Can you explain to me what you actually mean by a safety check=3F I have spoken to a Toyota specialist in Bedford and would like further details and will probably be able to help you but wants to understand what you really want. Most garages will interpret this request as an MOT and the controls on that are such that you would normally get the response you've had so far. If you want all the MOT type checks done - that's fine but they cannot issue a certificate on a overseas registered vehicle. It's the paper at the end that causes the problem. Let me know as Bedford isn't too far from Cambridge.

Rodger

I guess it answers your question why Toyota adjustments are so conservative.

I'm thinking of doing the fuel pump adjustments according to the

procedure described on:



http://www.lcool.org/technical/80=5Fseries/1hdft=5Fpump=5Fadj.html



I'm wandering if it is there any particular reason that the Toyota

adjustment is so conservative and of course if there are any "side

effects" of changing the factory settings as described in the LCOOL

article.



Since my primary target is overhanding and not racing the most important

thing for me is of course reliability of the engine therefore I want to

be sure that I'm not getting into troubles as a consequence of this

adjustment (overloading pump, turbo etc...).



Thank in advance for your help & best regards,

Tomaz,
I haven't done any mods to the engine yet, so my contribution may be of
little use to you as you clearly seek a positive proof. Probably, the best
proof would be to take the engine apart, examine the condition of each vital
component, then do the same again after running a modified engine for say 25
thousand miles.
I entirely agree that the engine is a system and changing one setting will
affect another. But if your concern is how it performs on long trips with
heavy loads, you should include in the equation also other drivetrain
components: cluch, CV joints, gearbox, etc., always rememering that making
one link stronger doesn't make the weakest link any better.

Hi Roman,



I saw that but this is in my opinion something you can control - right.

Have you done the adjustment on your lc80 =3F



The engine is a system and sometimes when you modify something on one

end it can result in problems on the other end when you wouldn't expect

it - at least until you dig into the manuals if you are not really an

expert. Therefore I would like to know what are the experiences of the

people who did the modification and of course opinion of people who

abandoned this idea.



I tried the HDJ80 last week of the guy who did that adjustment and

acceleration was really better then on mine - so it is a temptation -

but my experience with engine modifications is that there is no "free

lunch" and I want to stay on the safe side after all.

I did this adjustment to mine and did not notice much difference. I now have
it running as standard. I am not too concerned about extra acceleration.

I did the adjustments on mine about 3 years ago and they made a noticeable
difference to off boost performance. As far as I am aware there have been
no negatives.

Might help to ask for a pre MOT test or an MOT without the paperwork, also a
garage that does some repair work on 4x4's rather than just an MOT "shop",
as other replies have suggested.
I bet the drive from Malaysia to the UK was interesting, are you planning on
the reverse journey, carrying on around or stopping in the med?

Subject: Re: [ELCO] [ELCO Digest] "MOT" for foreign registered vehicle
My apologies for attaching this request to an unrelated thread but dont know
how to start a new one!
I am having difficulty finding a mechanic/ garage that is prepared to do a
safety check on my cruiser .It is currently in Cambridge and I plan to drive
to the Med in two weeks.As it has been driven from Malaysia to UK since the
last inspection, I would be happier if someone could check the vehicle out.
As I am currently in NZ a friend has tried some garages who say they cant do
it without UK registration and insurance!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
john Falkiner
