You need to find out why the leak is happening. Is it because someone has overtightened the housing in the past and deformed it? Don’t know if that’s possible but there will be a reason. Wrong bolts used that bottom out instead of tightening down on the housing perhaps? Go find why...

Oh I just remembered, the accesory pod has a polarizing filter in front of the lcd display. If the polarizer is already worn out, you’ll have difficulties with the readout even if illumination is on. I replaced mine with a polarizer film taken from a junked laptop. Just cut and paste . Hope this...

The accesory pod also does a reset and reverts to default illumination always on mode whenever the car battery is disconnected. Please note though that all data stored will be erased and disconnecting the car battery may also reset your other accessories.

I have the same accesory pod and i regularly turn the illumination on and off by “press and hold” the mode button. Just make sure that the compass is not in calibration mode.

Hi Shayne. . . now that you mentioned it, running on 265/75/16's the GPS says I'm cruising at 100KPH while the actual speedo says I'm at 110KPH. . . . no issues for me here. Its just that I'm sooooo tempted to go 285/75/16 for that bad boy offroader look or a 275/70/17 for that bling look :)

You can also try this site, for comparison :) https://tiresize.com/comparison/ Your current 265/70 is much wider and taller and would register slightly faster on the speedo than the 215/80

:thumbup: likewise here, I want the threads flushed with the wheel arches edge with just a little bit of the sidewalls sticking out. Maybe that 30mm would do it, just needing to find a store that will allow a trial fit. Would you know the offset of these new wheels please? Thanks Beau, Jim

Beau, From the previous pictures, are those 30mm wheel spacers? Are you still using them with these new wheel setup? Jim

35mm 3/4 drive for mine

o_O:confused: I shall try to digest that. Thank you sir. Jim

Thank you for that info StarCruiser. Jim

Drats!!! :( Super hot hot summer here too with temperatures shooting to 40C's !!! :sweat::sweat::sweat::sweat: :grinning: Appreciate your reply StarCruiser incidentally, are your headlight lenses fluted glass please? Specifically, Philips LED's are so expensive here so I need to be triply sure...

:blush:just maybe you've had actual experience on this type of condition:blush: Some say that white and bluish lights are difficult on wet roads and rainy conditions. I'm still searching for actual experiences using the LED's on fluted glass headlight lenses and on wet roads / rainy conditions...

I am currently looking into replacing my current IPF FatboyII halogens and considering LED's for my 1997 Prado (series95) with the fluted glass lenses and I'm still gathering more info on how the LED's would work on this type. The information here is just awesome. Hoping to learn more of your...

WOW so much difference

WOW jaw dropping work !!!

A year ago I replaced the cylinder head on my KZJ95 and replaced the radiator too since the combustion pressure from the cracked head damaged the rad. No water loss ever since after this replacement. Once the engine really heats up due to hard driving, it pushes some coolant out into the...

Yes Ben, Peace at last....

Xena is back in operation thank you so much for your most valuable insights. THANK YOU ALL HERE Jim

Spot on it was the SPV ! Plus the shop replaced the fuel correction resistor as they could not get the specification results during calibration. The shop also reconditioned the pump replacing washers and bushings and o-rings and gaskets of course.

Ahhhh the sweet low rumble sound of 750 rpm ..... Finally!!!!!

At the mercy of the IP Calibration shop, they also want to replace the correction resistors which i've tested over n over to be good.... sigh.

Noted StarCruiser

I'm still waiting for final repairs tentatively completed by tomorrow Spill Valve shall be replaced and the plunger will be machined with a new bushing, as per calibration shop. I guess there's nothing much inside the IP and so I truly hope this fixes the problem. As I was surfing the web for...

Gents, Your points are noted and well taken Results from calibrators would be coming in about a day or two. I am so hoping to finally solve this enigma Jim

StarCruiser, Shayne and Beau thinks its an SPV failure too. Fingers crossed. Jim

Trevor, Yes sit, I also thought about this possibility that is why I tried to eliminate all possible sources of uncontrolled fuel be it via the crankcase blowby gasses or the turbine oil seals which led me to get a brand new turbo charger. Cold compression tests also gave indications that piston...

Trevor, Yes sir, i have drained and measured engine oil levels at that point when I replaced turbo. A 5k oil change was performed 2 months ago and there was very little change, if any. I also replace with new oil when i restarted after turbo replace. When i took out the injector nozzles as part...

Shayne and Beau, Yes sirs ive tried the spv adjustment as well. Turned counter clock and stopped at 3 full turns but still same. Not even a hint of improvement. Turned again clockwise past the starting point but still same. I have to state though that i did not do any small increment turning...

Star Cruiser, Thank you so much for the welcome. I've actually been registered for some time now and have greatly enjoyed reading the coversations and valuable tips and resolution articles here. The forums made me keep my ride for a long time to come. Yes, I too was left thinking that theres no...

Dear All, Close to frustration, I am posting my engine problem here in hopes that someone has encountered this challenge and was able to solve the mystery. I'm from the Philippines and a proud owner of a 1997 Land Cruiser Prado, a KZJ95, my daily drive to work and everywhere. It is equipped...
