    I did this on mine probably 12 years ago? The engine is direct injection so glow plugs are not needed, but they are fitted anyway, Toyota were definitely making sure these engines start! Regards Dave

    A/C pressure switch differences

    OK, I am good with this, the pressure switch is a two stage design. Normally there are only two wires used but the switch connector can carry four, the first pressure part of the switch engages the compressor however, there is a second stage, this to bring in the optional electric booster fan...

    For Sale Land Cruiser 80

    Owned by me for over 13 years this is no ordinary ‘80’ and it is only being sold due to ill health. Please note, this car is originally from the UK and is right hand drive, presently it is registered and insured and being used in Spain, to re-register back into the UK would be a breeze as it is...

    Fire risk!

    No mine is a 12 valve, the bonnet cable is if I remember correctly is clear enough not to touch the relay. I am still waiting on the replacement, everything stops moving here in July and August, so it will arrive in the next couple of weeks, I will replace it before selling the 80, this rather...

    'Deliverance' type Squeal!!

    I refer to my earlier post, the point about the alternator mounts, aggravating the possibility of one belt being tensioned and the forward one being loose as the alternator is turned inwards at the pulley end. Anyway, sadly due to ill health I am selling my 80. :disrelieved:Details coming soon...

    'Deliverance' type Squeal!!

    Toyota actually sell a 'matched pair' for alternator/water pump, and there is something I have come across so many times. If the lower bolt that supports the alternator has been left even slightly loose it makes the rear mounting hole on the alternator (aluminium) elongated, if left long...

    Puzzled by Sinking Brake Pedal

    I have mentioned this on the forum before, it is a problem often seen by mechanics's it's called 'pad knock off'. Often the brakes seem fine, you move the vehicle a few metres and you get a 'long pedal'. The disc tilts on the loose bearing and pushes the piston back into the caliper. As...

    centre diff lock

    I agree, but the enforcement of the CD when in LO hardly helps when trying to reverse a heavy trailer into a driveway, the tyres protesting on behalf of the driveline about the strain it is experiencing. Interesting is the amount of plugs I find disconnected from the front diff locks on a few...

    Letter from The Mayor of London. ULEZ.

    I can add a little enlightenment here from Spain. At the beginning of this year motorists were advised they should purchase an 'emission sticker' for €5.00, that would remind you when it was OK for you to drive into an emission controlled 'city', the rule is active but as of yet not being...
