Hi All
New here and on behalf of relative with a dead 100 series.
Driving along at 90kph in cruise control when there was a crunch and a bang and power dropped. Black smoke poured from bonnet and filled the cab. Engine cut out and had to wrestle it to hard shoulder. Let smoke clear and nothing on the key.
It was recovered to a Ford garage and they decided it was a transmission problem. They removed gearbox and clutch was burnt out. However they informed the engine was seized. At this point it was recovered to my relatives house.
Im trying to diagnose but never worked on a Land cruiser. Timing belt is intact and starter works ok (i heard they can break off into bell housing).
Im removing rad fan to get a spanner on crank shaft to see if it will turn. (any idea on spanner size).
Can anyone give me an idea what this may be and how to complete a diagnosis. Im thinking the oil pump gave up but not sure.
Only 150k on clock.
Thanks in advance
