As your in oz why not fit a Detroit locker , no messing about and very good on and off road .

Would anybody know the if there is a difference between 120 rear springs and the rear springs on a July 02 95 LWB . Cheers

Hi Yes the rear suspension was changed , Rancho RS5000 none adjustable were fitted , on my last cruiser I went for OME which had no concerns from day one , then went on to replace the fronts at a later date . To be fair I went from the workshop straight down a bumpy windy single track road home...

Hi Changed out the original 12 year old rear springs and shocks yesterday and fitted Roughtrax standard springs +20 and Rancho RS5000 and have to say not impressed on the ride home. The ride was a lot worse , swaying about, than the knackerd old units that were replaced . Will give it a week to...

Thanks Chris , will have a look in Toyota to see what's available . Leslie

Evening All Long time no post ! Looking for some info from you guys who have overhauled repaired your front diff's . I have a 02 90 LWB and intend to adjust the back lash in the diff but cannot find if the diff back lash is shim or adjusters like the rear diff. I have read all the posts on...

Hi Bob has given you good advice, you dont have any discolouring of the coolant or a milky film in the coolant do you , Was the overheating resolved , the other fault is the cooling pipe for the auto trans is cooled by the radiator , this fractures and the coolant is polluted by ATF hence the...

I have a heater I believe in my 02 colorado filter head :whistle: Cheers

Thankyou very much for the link gents , I had noticed that there is more wires in the plug than the bulbs being used I had got my eye on one of the side light units off one of the trucks for a donor bulb holder so no big deal . If I recall the prado :whistle: had two reverse lights . Cheers

Hi I have noticed what I thought was a blown o/s/r reverseing light bulb so nipped out a tea time and took off the lamp , only to find a blank bulb holder , so has anybody sorted out a solution , I was out this last weekend with a mate and he has a 05 120 and these have twin reverse lights so...

A note off another forum I read on, Heads up Just a heads up on here for you guys, maisey4quads is the user name for a guy on ebay who deals in second hand toyota spares, keep well away, i paid for a spare part, he sent the wrong one, he doesnt return your calls/emails so im stuck with a...

The temperature that the engine would reach running the mixture of oil and water emulsion would be enough to boil the coolant solution , also the pressure that is created with this problem will completely distort the radiator, Plus the damage to the gearbox as well with the contamination...

Hi there , and sorry to read of your woe's I would think your engine has been very hot due to the emulsification of the coolant , I think if I was you I would be looking to get out of this deal, ATB

You could start by putting a new hose on the fuel inlet pipe on the fuel pump and put it in a drum of new diesel and see what happens , you will need at least 5lts due to the amount the pump pulls though , it will return to the rear tank , Try this and let us know how you get on , Cheers

I would say 10w40 semi synthetic from tesco fits the bill for me , factoring the cold weather in the Highlands , This is going in the D4D , In the 1kz-te it was the mineral also from tesco , and it never used a drop in all the years we ran it ,for us to come south its around trip of at least...
