    Only answer I can give you shane is save up and take a trip along the Aussie Simpson or up to big Red or just a leasurely drive around Alice or maybe up the along the Margeret River and along the Savannah. I could go on naming places but thats not necessary. If you did this I would recommend you...

    Hi Shayne, I suppose any dust that gets through the intake by whatever means will mix with oil and become a grinding paste. Grinding paste is used to seat the hard steel of valves so its that action which causes the damage.

    Hi Towpack, I believe that with the V8 LC200 a solution to this is the catch-can. I have one and both son-in-laws have one fitted.

    I am no expert Towpack but an oil soaked air filter is not the go with an intercooler attached as all the oil would be sucked through the engine and burnt. That is if the oil did not snuff the engine in the first instance. Regards Vince

    I suspect that the dust entered every which way it could Chas but the crunch to the story is it entered because of the off-road activities of the previous owner. Not that this is bad initself, as to each his own, but if you abuse your car in that kind of dust conditions you will have problems...

    I am not an expert on eBay I am just commenting on the legal/moral objective of their policy and your own moral responsibility. But consider this, and believe me I am not sticking up for eBay here. You have an item you want to sell, you have options like news paper classified, community...

    ebay and phone numbers.

    Good one Shayne, the only trouble with that is if you get a call from someone who is interested in the item you are seeking to sell and you happen to sell it to that person outside of eBay, then eBay still charge you their commission as their conditions allow them to do this even if the sale was...

    Hello Chris, wasn't the reference to Simon made by Mussy. If this is a crossed wire must be a huge co-incidence, but happy to accept the call. regards Vince

    Hey Mussy I think you may think Kirra?? is Simons wife/partner. Let me assure you that is not the case. Simon is my son-in-law and is a truly nice guy. He would be horrified to have read what is going on here as quite frankly I am. But I have thick skin. Also, Sime would be horrified to have...

    Al Also Waldamar, NO to water in the intercooler. Remember that the air that the engine is breathing is going directly through the both common rails in a V8 and into the ports then to the combustion chamber. If water was present damage could be caused to the fuel system or at the very least...

    Ummm, forever Toyota Land Cruiser, I think?

    T Thank you for a courteous response Waldamar. Answering you, you need to understand the predicament we were in and what I had written i.e.. that neither me or my mechanic mate had ever pulled a V8 Toyota diesel out of a late model car before, especially one that had an intercooler sitting...

    Hey Steve, Thank you for your kind support. Steve, I have been a car enthusiast all my life since early teenage years both of fast cars and also Land Cruisers, not excluding Harleys' of course. The LC because I and wife are keen caravaners and the LC is at home doing this job. Having said that I...

    Hey Waldamar, do you actually know what an intercooler does. I don't think you do otherwise you would not have added such a stupid remark... until I read he'd re-fitted an uncleaned intercooleretc.etc. Remember I said early in the piece I will receive a whole lot of flack from pompous as*****s...

    ebay and phone numbers.

    Maybe eBay only intends to prevent any means of contact, ie. phone, address email etc. prior to the sale being completed. I think that once the sale is completed you can still message the buyer with all the contact info that you want. This way they are protecting their site being used as a means...

    I note that the 'I don't care' comment made by me has drawn some intendedcriticism and so it should if I used it inappropriately. Please read it in the context it was written in as it is so easy for small minds to take it as if it was inteneded literatley in all applications.

    Waldamar, I suppose you would have pressure cleaned the intercooler to purge the old oil is that correct. If so then you would have to have purchesed a new one. Yes we drained it and thought we had rid the old oil but would not have pressure cleaned it. We could have flushed it I suppose but any...

    Steve, please allow me to correct one of your observations purely from a logical stand point. Your impression that a snorkel would supply clean air was in fact correct. One instance where it would not be would be in convoy travel with other vehicles where the road dust has been stirred up by the...

    What is Dusted in Land Cruiser talk... well I will try to explain via a story. I think you will find this interesting. My daughter and son-in-law with their two pre-school children commenced a 'round-australia' for 12 months towing a caravan. They commenced their adventure about Christmas '17...
