Hi all, hope you're all well and dealing with the crazy times ok. The exhaust has gone on my kzj 73 and annoyingly I can only find the silencer boxes for the 70, and it's too small to fit the mountings etc. Have to wait until mid October for correct one with Toyota (and its not cheap)...

Hi All, hope life is sweet in the Land Cruiser world, long time no problems, but yesterday the truck didn't start. Battery and connections all seem good, the starter motor just makes a whirring sound maybe with a little whine. I've taken the starter motor off and to bits, it was full of...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone can help with this issue... Here's the whole story, incase any of these things are related. The car has been doing fine, we've nearly done 1000km since I rebuilt it. I noticed sometimes a slight smell of diesel from the engine, eventually after investigation I...

Anyone any idea what the car does with the turbo pressure sensor reading? My sensor connection seems like it was probably broken in the past and doesnt really feel so secure when you put the tube back onto the sensor pin. I can probably glue it, but I'm wondering what the sensor actually...

Hi All, I've been changing the head and sorting other bits and stuff with the help of some of you, thought I should finally put a picture up. Here she is, a 93 KZJ 73, 280,000 kms with the removable roof. I got it last year and have been trying to fix an occasional overheating issue. Now have...

Hi All, Back again, I've been loathed to try any big hills yet as the temp gauge is not working and I really can't risk any overheating. So I've measured resistance of the sender, was about 1800Ω at the time and increasing as it was cooling. Voltage across the connector wires is 5V. Earthing...

Finished putting everything back together and went to prime the system. No amount of pumping on the fuel filter pump seems to work. I decided to change the filter as I had one and I wanted to see the state of the diesel. It was -17c last night and -10 as I was working today. No problem...

Did a search on here, but couldn't find anything helpful. Having dropped the aluminium half moon cap into the engine, I'm pretty sure it's dropped a pretty long way down, possibly close to the sump, so I thought I'd try to get sump pan off and take a look. I can get to 20 of the 22 sump bolts...

Working in the freezing and dropped the half moon cap thing for the head into an oil hole in the block. Trying to not be furious with myself. Can't find my grabber thing, and obviously it's not magnetic. Will it have fallen down into the pan, will getting that off help me? Thanks again.

I was wondering if anyone had tried, or had any thoughts on the surf mod for the temperature gauge to make it work more accurately? http://www.toyotasurf.asn.au/techsite/tempgauge.htm Here is the information for the 80 series from which the idea was taken...

Hello everyone hope you can assist with a continuing saga I'm having with my LC. I bought a kzj 73 last year and have had continual overheating issues with sustained periods of uphill or speeds over 70. I noticed mainly it was happening at over 3k rpm. Temperature would suddenly rise, and...
