Thanks for that! I've become very familiar with my LC... Problem is that these projects become an obsession. Anyway after the rebuild, it fired into life beatifully and sounds great now, also very tight feeling on both steering, suspension, engine and transmission, feels as like new! I've still a few things to finish:
I want to take the tank out and get it steam cleaned in the next couple of days, fit a micro glass fuel filter in place of the standard Toyo cellulose filter, regass the spheres, replace bushes on upper and lower rear control arms, renovate the leather interior and fit a new set of tyres (psycho-therapy would probably be cheaper!). Also want to plumb in a centrifuge which is a priority given the benefits!
