I sold my landcruiser a few years ago and I’m thinking about at returning to the marque after a deflating buying experience with a wk2 grand cherokees. I have viewed four grand cherokees, which all had engine warning lights or expensive faults! Like power steering rack leaks; all under 70k...

Hi all, Does anyone know if a LC4 D-4D 3.0 ENGINE 1KD-FTV fits a 59 Toyota Hilux? I'm pretty sure it does but just want to double check.

When I brought my truck i got it cheap from a car auction as it had no power steering as the rack was leaking badly. It looked like a recon rack about year old max. I paid £80 delivered for one from a breakers 5 years ago and it's still perfect. I would rather buy another steering rack...

Give it a day to calibrate and it should start working as normal

If you ever need to cross a ford, or flooded road beware the air intake is behind the front grill quite low. Never owned one but I'm not keen on VAG vehicles, not their looks or how they drive but their engines and working on them.

I bench tested my starter motor which was slow to rotate and not always engaging, checked everything which is within spec of the workshop manual. cleaned all the components put her back together and she works fawlessly....but I suspect it was the starter solenoid as it was quite grubby etc.....I...

Repaired the drivers side heating element for the drivers side seat, just gotta get a passenger switch for the passenger seat and then I'll be cooking :)

Hi all, I'm after a heated seat switch for the left hand side, if you could just double check the switch is ok for me please, here is the test.

I was reading a thread the other day about similar issues, check your pedal for the accerlator position sensor and carefully remove the enclosure of the sensor, give the pcb and spindle a good clean whilst rotating the pedal. I can't find the thread now but I think it was on ih8mud.

Under the bonnet is a diagnostic port and check for fault codes, put a jumper wire between te1 and e1 and count the flashes, if the ecu light is flashing constant 1 second intervals then there are no logged fault codes, with the jumper wire connected press the o/d button and check the same...

I think I may end up importing one from Japan, it's not the first time I've imported a car so I'm familiar with the process etc

In my opinion every business/person makes mistakes, but it's how the company deals with it that counts.

I'm a bit sketchy on LPG, but if it runs fine on petrol but lumpy on the LPG check all the ignition components as LPG will highlight a weak ignition component way before it will effect running on petrol

Changed gearbox oil, replaced a torn steering rack gaitor.

yeah 14 and 99, 99 is immobilizer so discount that, 14 - is related to the spill control valve, change the filter and clean the gauze filters inside the fuel pump, the timing control valve works in conjunction with the spill control valve, check the resistances as per the workshop manual for...

It could also be worth taking the gauze filters of the fuel pump and cleaning them too

Normally no, but 3sgte engines have had fault codes appear but no check engine light, but for a simple test that takes one minute it's no harm.

Yep that's the one, the ecu light will blink 4 times pause, then twice and repeat etc giving you a code of 42. if no codes it will just keep blinking around 1 second intervals

Did you have anything to pull the codes with? Bridge te1 and e1 to pull the codes
