    Never understood gear oil viscosities, but yes, you have open diffs so dont use anything for limited slip digfs.

    Poole Diesel?

    I used Automarine many years ago for my 80 pump refurbish. No problems with the pump, but they failed to set up the throttle position sensor on the pump, despite me leaving the workshop manual, so the gearchanges were all janky. I also left them a new cambelt and tensioner to fit while they had...

    Pop tester recommendations?

    A bit of useless info here, but I did my apprenticeship at Hartridges in Buckingham, and my first few months were spent on the pop test section putting them together. That was back in 1980

    What are the "new" model cruiser chassis codes, forums section here, etc..

    I bought a new Jimny a couple of years ago, and decided I would keep it forever. So made the most of a new car and started doing all the preventative things I wished I could have done on previous cars. Dinitrol everywhere, changing all fluids regularly, making sure no cables or pipes are rubbing...

    What are the "new" model cruiser chassis codes, forums section here, etc..

    The chassis will still rot from the inside out due to condensation inside the rails. Hope you stuck some stuff inside anyway, just as inside sills, doors, pillars etc.

    Really?

    He doesn’t do it any favours with all the seat covers. It should be mint under those, so why not show it.

    Is it a factory sunroof? Looks a bit odd.

    dash lights stay on

    All the lights on older Toyotas usually means some alternator/charging/voltage problems. On newer ones it can mean the is a fault code somewhere - ecu, abs etc. and needs scanning.

    a lot of warning lights

    Yes, I did the same and it was brand new.

    a lot of warning lights

    The problem is, how do you know you’re getting a quality rebuild or replacement, if you dont get it from the dealer.

    BF Goodrich or Cooper

    With such a small price difference I’d go for the goodrich, only because I’ve had them for years without any issues at all. A bit like the old saying ’no one ever got fired for buying IBM’

    GL4 or GL5

    Generally GL4 for gearboxes, and GL5 for axles, as GL5 had additives that cause probs for gearbox synchros

    New Land Cruiser owner 120

    I would have a good scrape on the back axle. There’s usually a reason they throw that thick black shite everywhere.

    Replacement Alternator suggestions for 4.7 petrol

    Do Toyota not do a rebuilt one anymore? I had one from them years ago, and I think it was just a brand new one in the box but at a better price.

    80-Series - No forward drive

    They shouldnt put it on the rollers as its permanent four wheel drive. However, not sure why that would cause the issue.

    Body off ?

    I think you can bend the prongs, although I dont know how many times.

    Body off ?

    It looks like a Biltema one, in which case the usual Biltema rules apply - it may be dead on arrival, it may only work for a short while, and theres a modest chance it will last the warranty period. In other words, keep the reciept in a safe place.

    Air-con question on a LC4 D4D 04/2006 Land Cruiser please ?

    Just be aware the system is old, so there may be more than one leak. It may also be that getting the system up to pressure will show a fault somewhere else in the system.

    How big an issue is high mileage on dpf models?

    In theory someone with a good diag tool can tell you how much ash is in the dpf, although this ma6 be calculated and not actual. I dont think the ash can be removed, hence dpf replacements at high mileages.

    Diagnostic code 14 (4) Timing Control System Malfunction - the investigation begins

    Crosland filters, were once a good quality, well known brand, especially amongst commercial users. But the brand was bought by ECP, so who knows what the quality is like nowadays, but its probably like all the other previous quality brand names that have been bought out and then used on crap...

    Diagnostic code 14 (4) Timing Control System Malfunction - the investigation begins

    I would start at the filter. First its easy to do, and you’ve done low mileage. Diesel is full of bio shit that grows well when not used much. Theres plenty of crappy filters out there also. Was it OEM? Do you add biocide to the fuel?

    The bottom falling off the condenser doesnt usually cause a leak, its just come away from the tube.

    'Deliverance' type Squeal!!

    The glow plugs run for the first few minutes, so this usually shows up a weakness with the alternator belts.

    Vague steering, worn shaft? Stronger shaft upgrade?

    I seem to remember when I swapped my box for a recon unit, I forgot to connect the electrical connection. Didnt notice any difference, then when I noticed it a reconnected, I still didnt notice any difference.
