Let's just say great minds think alike. Shayne's never liked the D4D engine, now it's like the answer is written in 6ft high neon flashing letters.

You two will be getting a slap, I can see it coming off

My D4D is something of an ongoing saga mate there's a drivetrain clunk that i am determined to source and eliminate even if i do sell the truck later .
Currently the front control arms are at the sandblasters and will be refitted with new bushes and ball joints and the brake calipers are boxed to be sent for a Biggred refurb . Panhard , trailing arm and steering rack bushes are all new as are tie rods and probably a few bits besides . I bought it needing a new exhaust and jumped the gun by having a 3" stainless made for it , and besides all this i paid too much at the outset because i was determined to have a black swb D4D

What you're saying is it's halfway to a good 80 then?

I suppose so yes because the same baseline refurb would likely cost twice as much for an 80 before it was in danger of being called a good one

And there's a black one owner 24 valve 80 on auction on eBay at the minute.

and then i could buy this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-la...243952?hash=item4b148ba7b0:g:ApYAAOSwax5Y3AFR to swap all the toys onto that one and i would then be almost halfway there time and money wise .

Sorry to hijack (cant work out the Private message thing here)


Not sure if you have tried this Shayne regarding your drive train clunk, I read recently that an incorrectly greased Prop shaft/Tail shaft can cause a clunk that sounds like transmission. Its a 150 series thing Issue but may carry back to your model. Another Article mentioned on older models around 2007ish that the spline on the Prop shaft/Tail shaft is the issue. Toyota were known to replace the spline under warranty to a better design which solved it.

Thanks Gas i was shocked to learn about that recall in Oz quite some time ago which led me to degreasing the props and investigating without result .

I fear we have thread jacked Oggy to a point where he's done a runner !

Come back Oggy we do like to help its just there's not many shorties on the forum .
