    Help wanted - 70 Series Steering Box Rebuild

    Hi Jacob. Terrain Tamer do a rebuild kit and theres a rebuild video on you tube. Its pretty comprehensive. If the main shaft has been remachined it might need slightly different seals but they should be easy enough to source. Euro 4x4 do a rebuild kit as well. Half the price of the Terrain Tamer.

    Engine Swap VM for 3B

    bad luck. VM not a bad engine if you look after it. pics here of new heads and head bolts with part numbers if you ever need them. the heads in the pics need screw in injectors not the clamped ones. https://www.flickr.com/photos/67437247@N00/

    Engine Swap VM for 3B

    I have an H55F gearbox removed from a 1990 4 cylinder 2.5 TD VM on the bench in my workshop. Just went and checked it. It has the F, 2F, 3F, H, 2H, 12HT type H55 input shaft. I do not know if this will fit a 1HZ but it definitely won't fit a 3B. Let us know how you get on.

    Engine Swap VM for 3B

    Hi all. The gearbox (H55F) and transfer is the same. See image for input shafts. But the diffs are different. The VM model has a low range diff (4.56 ratio) and has noticeably "sportier" performance than the 3B model which could be described at best as agricultural. I have no idea what kind of...

    BJ73 help and advice

    Hi Mike. Quick answer. Top end Yes. Bottom end send to George at VM motors in Chesterfield. He is the go to man for VM rebuilds in the UK and did one for me about 5 years ago. I hope he's still going. I think i have posted links to the 5 cylinder manual on here. Have a root through my posts.

    BJ73 VM 5 cylinder fuel lift pump

    Hi Mike. If memory serves there is an oblong rubber o ring seal to rear of the lift pump. You could make a gasket out of card or use silicone mastic. I have the part number somewhere for the 4 cylinder. I'd put money on it being the same. I also have the workshop manual for the 4 and 5...

    Hi. I bought a rebuild kit from Euro 4x4 for the steering box. Got a rebuild kit for power steering pump as well. Theres a video guide to rebuilding the box on youtube. Doing steering box and gearbox when the tub is off in the spring.

    Kzj/lj70 gearbox rebuild

    For your truck it will be on the vin plate riveted to the top of the bulkhead at the back of the engine bay. It's probably an H55F. On the LJ box im not sure. I've got one on the bench here. There are paper stickers on top of the transfer box but mine have worn off. There are also codes stamped...

    Kzj/lj70 gearbox rebuild

    What is the gearbox code? In the H41/H42/H50/H55F manual the only sensor attached to the gearbox is "Back up light and shift point sensor" Does the KZJ have a light on the dash that tells you when to change gear and or any kind of light related to gearbox? My guess is this sensor is not in...

    Bj73 vm 5 cylinder steering box

    Hi Mike. If my memory serves the power steering pump is a Toyota unit. If you email Nick Ould at Euro 4x4 I believe he has a parts catalogue for the VM powered BJ73s specific to those models. By way of reassurance, the VM engine is a much better unit tha a lot of people would have you...

    Bj73 vm 5 cylinder steering box

    I bought my first BJ73 more than ten years ago. Now on my 3rd. It's a long learning curve. https://partsouq.com/ If you put your chassis number into this site you should get exploded diagrams of every system on the truck with part numbers. My understanding of steering boxes is there are...

    No fan of Brexit but...

    the one that arrived yesterday was a Gates kit for the steering box. Made in Australia. Think the other two are Australian as well. One of them, the gearbox service kit is half the price of the Terrain Tamer kit.

    No fan of Brexit but...

    For what it's worth I'm happy to report that having avoided ordering parts from France (for fear of it being too troublesome and expensive) I've just ordered 3 service kits from Nick at Euro 4x4 and it went like clockwork. I haven't tried over-nighting things yet so don't know if that's still...

    75 series windscreen surround removal

    I only have experience with the 70 FRP top. The drop screen frame with the FRP top cant be removed without first lifting the roof.

    Does anyone want to go shares on a BJ73?

    There's a BJ73, VM powered, might be up sale. I know the engine... I rebuilt it. It's as good a 4 cyl VM as you'll ever find. Runs like a dream. It's rust free. I could do with the tub, doors and roof... That leaves all running gear (rare low ratio axles), gearbox, wheels etc and everything...

    Newbie-Salvage question

    Depends on how far down the restoration road you want to go. Rust on the chassis is the killer. In particular anywhere close to front most and rear most leaf spring shackle mounts and tub attachment points. On tub check for rust near chassis mount points and sills underneath door pillars. My...

    Rev Counter not working

    what model do you have. BJ73 are infamous for getting damaged when gearbox is dropped out or engine changed. iirc the cable enters the bell housing on the top near side sort of under and to the left of the brake master cylinder/servo. It's tucked right back under the bulkhead tunnel. I've...
