    Rear door warp - seal misalignment

    Mine looks like it has an excessive gap and from the side it looks like it is tilted out slightly from the top but I've had no issues with it sealing. I intend to adjust the hinges as described eklsewhere on the forum as I get the classic squeak but it's a matter of having someone (likely my...

    Axle sat out more to one side

    I'm in a similar situation but I suspect my rear chassis is far worse than Oli.g 's sounds, although maybe different parts, as it has not had the work done his has. My plan was inspired by the youtube video of the 90 guy doing a body lift in the street (can't recall the name at the moment...

    Question about Land Cruiser (1997) 4x4 system.

    No worries. People on here have been so helpful to me and it's nice to have the opportunity to help someone else. We had a car for years and we were sat in it one time and my daughter who was probably about 9 at the time reached across and pulled down an extra mini sunvisor that covered the gaps...

    Question about Land Cruiser (1997) 4x4 system.

    HI and Welcome. Don't worry. The system is permanent all wheel drive with a center locking differential. Forgive me for including some things you may already know but for on your smaller transfer case lever you should have the following... LL = Low Ratio Locked Center Differential N = Neutral...

    First problem.....auto box

    Box does not need removing. You can access from the bottom. Easy to replace the solenoids. No idea of the price though. Sorry. I got gaskets for my valve body from here IIRC www.sussexautos.co.uk so they may do the solenoids. www.automaticchoice.com look like they probably do the solenoids.

    Hi. I need the pulley for the tensioner for the aircon belt and the washers that go either side plus the nut although the pulley itself is the main thing as I'm sure I can source the others easy enough. I had a mad rush job to get my cruiser "finished" Saturday as I had to go into work...

    Downsides to large 4x4 ownership, let's hear them!

    Intoxicated persons considering it a great feat to climb on your roof even if you are inside. Also issues with unknown people just trying to get in and sometimes succeeding if you stop for too long (well I suppose it's a fairly safe place to be).

    Manual pump install 1KZTE

My Toyota manual says standard pressure at max speed (4600rpm) is 7.4 to 9.7 psi, the waste gate opens (abruptly) at 16.7 psi and the max pressure the actuator can stand is 20.5 psi.

    Injector replacement - 1KZTE

    Thanks for raising this as I will need to get mine out and those washers should be replaced as if not (according to a video I saw where one had not been) the injector can get damaged by heat. My guess (and it is only a guess) is the flat bit goes to the injector to protect it more. Hopefully...

    1KZ ENGINE JUST CRUNKING

    Do you mean a clunk but not turning the engine in which case I would go with Iwan's diagnosis but if you mean it cranks but doesn't start then possibly immobiliser if it is recent enough to have one. Does it have the light in the console for it?

    BUGGER; Electrical gremlin shuts off engine

    BUGGER; Electrical gremlin shuts off engine

    My hand primer gets well hard but it's a1999 & who knows whether it's been replaced at some time or not. Beau's knowledge on these vehicles is waaaay better than mine so learn from it as I do.

    Agree with chapel break if it's repairable. An insurers told me insurers often write off automatically any vehicle over a certain age (often 10 years) because of the economics of sourcing rarer parts, long delays and cost of hire vehicles and admin whereas it is far easier to make a low used...

    A few questions for you knowledgables on here on my new purchase???

    Wouldn't let the slope bother you. Liquid will run downwards regardless of the slope without a vacuum and the tank is as far as it will go. The real cause is where the problem is. If it's a blocked pick up filter it may not make much difference. If it is a hole or leak then air will still get in...

    A few questions for you knowledgables on here on my new purchase???

    No resistance does suggest a fuel line leak being a high probability with the pipes from the tank corroding being quite likely or blocked tank pick up filter as earlier posters have suggested but others owners have had issues with porosity of the filter head too although this seems much less common.

    OK this this the best I can find at the moment. It is the A340E manual for Supras which is basically our box but without the transfer case.

    I thought you meant the kickdown. The box end is not adjustable but only the engine end. I think I have a doc kicking about somewhere on my laptop. It may even be in manuals linked on this site. I'll take any pics I can legally get at.
