Hi @Lancashire Cruiser just out of interest, how much did you pay at the dealer? if you don't mind sharing.

The 250.. how the aussie do it. Stock 250 capabilities: Skip to mins 14:55 if you are only interested in the off road bits And if you want to spend a lot of money on a 250 and make it one of a kind, watch this: skip to mins 30:00 straight into the offroad bit

Check out this video: 4runner but should be similar. Also read the video description. He mentioned something about using another truck parts but this is in the states. Toyota double cardan joint might not be as simple as the end UJ.

What do you mean by the fuel me How long is long for the sensor to get up to temp? 10mins drive? Does it stays at around 80ish once it gets up to temp?

An update albeit after a few years. For those that are interested in my original question about the 80 wheel. I Finally got myself a set of 80s wheel on my 90. I have 265 70 16 tyres on them - OEM tyre size for the 90. And it fits perfectly without rubbing as mine is not lifted. Photos from last...

Thanks. 2 beautiful 90s. The black one is just so tidy!!!! Wins the collies beauty contest anyday. I reckon it will be the coned nut too. But haven't own any 80s wheel before so want to confirm.

Fellow 80s, Quick question, I am picking up a set of 80 alloys for my 90 series. The zoomed in photo below shows the wheel seat for the nut: Which wheel nut fits the above? The flanged one or the coned one? I know there are 2 types of 80s alloys. Thanks.

Thank you Rob.

I have been using toyota.epc-data.com to search for parts for years. Now it doesn't worked on my phone, laptop or anything. Anyone else? Has this been taken down? Its a shame, a very good site.

Thanks. You mean the lower bolt of the sliding bracket? Which runs all the way down to top of the oil pan.

Hi all, I want to tighten my v belts as they are deflecting a bit when idle. The photo below is looking from the bottom of the car UP. I can see the lock bolt and adjustment bolt, the pivot bolt must be at the top of the alternator? Red arrow is direction where the alternator need to move to...

The KZ-TE is a robust and strong engine comparing to other manufacturers - in Toyota world, it's not on top of the list as you have other far more legendary diesel like the 1HDT or 1HZ. And I would say aftermarket head isn't necessarily not good, it's down keeping the kz te cooling system on a...

They are Dunlop Grandtrek

Keep her. Its a rare beast. Will it be a straight 5 year out there or you might be back in between? I am from Malaysia originally and you can find all sorts of 70s there: cared for, thrashed, off readers, modded, neglected, passed down etc. But surely won't be as nice as yours

They look pretty well built for heavy use - widthwise, found some information online;

The 1958 trim is a 7 seaters. But I struggled to take photo from the outside due to the tint, at the rear panel, it reflects.

They are much bigger than the 90 and 120. Wider really Photo above should be turned 90 degree. The parts guy asked me " do you want the key?" I was so tempted but there was no one in the Sales team. So I said no. Don't want to get him into trouble. Both are diesel according to him. And...

Went to the dealer for a part for my 90. Guess what, bump into

What was the air temperature when you started this? Did you heat up the engine for like 10s before turning the key? Mine had similar smoke at first start suirng winter before i changed to the new head. Does this smoke happen in subsequent starts during the day?

I tried the dye colour thing (basic one from ebay), but it didnt detect any co2. My theory is mine was not a full gasket blown or head crack and only slow leak, there wasn’t sufficient Co2? But that is just for mine though. As said, pressure test kit is the most convincing way for me, maybe...

The genuine Toyota gasket is a multi layered steel one. Not sure how to do it from the overflow bottle though.

I pulled the fuel pump plug I think. Can’t remember disconnecting injectors for the test.

Hi there, from reading your description above, there is at least either a head gasket issue or head issue. The very obvious one is the puff of smoke when the engine is warm – so coolant building up to temperature while driving from cold and pressure within the system rising, when engine is...

How long have you had them on already @Tractionman ?

Thanks @MikeJak i did check that but there were 2 sizes. But anyway i have gone down the Roughtrax poly version. 26mm My old one was shot. It went through the rubber. I did all my steering rack bushes as well while the arb was removed. Not as easy as what YouTube videos suggested!

Will MOT pick this up? Arb removed.

Just rang Toyota - one side of the bush is £57. Blimey… will go aftermarket like Blue Print etc. anyone use Polybush for anti roll bar? Verdict? Roughtrax and Milner all sell poly.

Thanks Shayne. The driver side one is pretty knackered. Cracking and deform. I was thinking of doing my steering rack D bush anyway so will do arb bush too while i am there. To be honest. After checking a few websites, the 25mm ones can be fitted to kz and kd. 26mm seems to be KZ only. And more...

Hi looking to replace my front anti roll bar bushes as they are squeaky now. The toyota part diagram shows 2 part numbers: 1. 48815-60100 this is for 96-98 year and 26mm diameter 2. 48815-35100 for 98-02 year and 25mm diameter Mine is a 96 Prado, so i should go for the 26mm ones, but they are...

@MisterCruiser if it needs top up 1.5litre, it is leaking somewhere. It probably make sense to find the source of the problem than fitting a sensor to tell you when coolant is low. When the engine warm up, is there any coolant in the expansion tank? If not then the rad cap is likely the...

Not sure if anyone aware, pretty intense Northern light tonight. Taken at Lakes District.
