    A/C pressure switch differences

    Early on this year, i retrofitted a full a/c system from a 1991 import HDJ80 to a UK spec 1994 HDJ80. I found the whole wiring loom complete, and the retrofit wasnt particularly hard to do, as i had the dash out anyway to replace a leaking heater core. Unfortunately, i pulled the system from a...

    Clutch master cylinder 31401-60070

    Master cylinder went in my new 80, replaced it with a second hand one out of my parts truck. Cannot get a genuine new part after a lot of searching. I can get a rebuild kit from Toyota, but I'd prefer a whole new part. Anybody know is there cross over compatibility on these (I can't find...

    12volt start battery question

    Hi, when I converted my HDJ81 from 24 volt to 12 volt starting last spring I just stuck in a battery I had to hand because the two existing starter batteries were a bit tired (and I got to fit one of them into a car!) What cca, brand etc of battery are others running in their 12volt starter...

    80 series import spare wheel carrier

    brake hoses

    I'm in the process of debating whether to upgrade to the later type brakes or not. Personally I don't find the stock brakes on a 1991 that bad (at least I didn't until I spent about 5000km getting a rubbish set of aftermarket pads bedded in) I do want to replace my rubber brake hoses though...

    Quick Goodwinch question

    Transmission noise.

    Over the last 2000 miles my 1991 manual has developed a rattle which gets a bit worse when its warm. ONLY makes noise when the clutch pedal as released, when the pedal is pushed in (disengaged) the noise disappears entirely. Its got quite loud lately, and today I decided to investigate. The...

    rear shock mount plate on the top

    injection pump compatibility

    Just like the title says, looking through the EPC data for the different variations of 80 series TD there seem to be differing part numbers for the diesel injector pump. Now I know there will be differences between 12v and 24v, and manual and auto due to fittings. But what other differences are...

    OEM wheel carrier strength

Am I just worrying over nothing, or Is it a...
