thanks starcruiser, while we are on a subject of cooling. heres my chargecooler setup. the can on the Left, is a expansion chamber that works below water level. basically a air bubble

There was a hole half the size of a 1 p piece on the side of the tube. filled with putty. I cleaned it all off and welded plate over the side. that saves 200 quid!

luckley mate, i got a tig and a mig plant. i am that man that does these things in his dinner break :) everyone needs to know a guy called rich at trow bridge Toyota platinum was spot on in tracking down the part number. top service. thank you rich.

i got all the bolts for the exhaust manifold off but it still wont budge, yea its a pain! less than 50 from amayama! i dident even know that place.

part number is t87208-35260 https://toyota-general.epc-data.com/land_cruiser_prado/kzj95r/8288/electric/8716/87208B/ the part is 199.62 pounds each. I think I'll repair the pipe :)

ok we found the culprit. this tube on top was rusty and appears to of been repaired before I got the car. does anyone know the part number for this? looks like the bolts have rusted in place too. :/

just checked the radiator cap. it appears to be a 0.9 bar 13 psi one. which i think is correct for a gen 3. ill get some coolant and re seat the thermostat later.

i need to check the rad cap, even though it has never given me any trouble before it could be part of the problem. thanks, i will have another go tomorrow and let you know how i get on. thanks for your advice

yea i canceled the part. im sure its fine. i believe, that the coolant that was in there was just rubbish rusty tap water and that boils at a lower temp than Toyotas genuine coolant. i think with a propper flush (after i find the bleed nipple for the coolant) and the right coolant it should get...

its a roughtracks cheaper one. i might just order the other one now and be one with it.
