    LJ70 cuts out when hot

    Right so it turned out to be a scam - seller has stopped communicating with me after I asked for the VIN, ad removed and won’t answer phone or text. No idea why people bother doing that kind of thing. Thanks for Grimbo for your input - I learnt something about Diesel engine pumps at least!

    Back seat alternatives for HDJ80

    Ok but in another trim is possible?

    LJ70 cuts out when hot

    Great / yes I was wondering that too! maybe there is more to it than just this fault. I’ll post the outcome if I get any further with the purchase.

    Back seat alternatives for HDJ80

    Thanks for the replies already! So it’s the middle bench seat I was after - although I guess the third row would work - it would make the load space less usable. So the front seats are grey fabric (see pic). I don’t have the trim code yet but have asked for this info.

    Back seat alternatives for HDJ80

    Can’t believe I’m looking at another land cruiser but anyway……a 1993 HDJ80 with a missing back seat. Looks like a nice one but I need at least 4 belted seats so what are the options for a replacement? My guesses below, but if anyone knows I’d love to hear what’s possible: -OEM: seems unlikely to...

    LJ70 cuts out when hot

    Thanks Grimbo! That’s a great explanation and makes sense. If it is that then I’m not too concerned- I think a new solenoid runs to around 100 euros but do you know how difficult is it to replace? Hopefully I’ll get to see it in a couple of days time.

    LJ70 cuts out when hot

    So I have a possibility of buying a 1987 LJ70 with an engine fault. After 30 minutes of running it cuts out. When cold water is poured over the diesel pump it will start again. Any ideas on what the fault might be and how much it might cost in parts (approx) would be greatly appreciated so I can...

    Troopy FJ45 suspension bushings and front disc brake conversion

    Hi Rodger, No problem - I am even slower than you and have made almost no progress with anything since last posting! I am still undecided. I do like trying to keep things stock as much as possible but it would be nice with greater stopping power. Using 60 series could be a good compromise. I’ll...

    Checking transmission and transfer box fluids levels

    Right I see - though presumably it’s better to have a good seal? Is removing the transfer box s major job?

    Checking transmission and transfer box fluids levels

    Many thanks! I don’t really like the idea of it so will cut and block both ends off. Check fluid levels and then replace with factory setup once I get hold of the plugs. cheers

    Checking transmission and transfer box fluids levels

    So I wanted to check that the transmission and transfer boxes had enough oil in them but found both filler caps were joined together with some hosing. I’ve never seen that before (limited experience!) nor is it shown that way in Haynes. I assume the hose allows fluid from the two boxes to mix...
