I love this, instead of getting the root cause of the issue fixed they will just keep buying globes and replacing them.

I have the 1HD-T and I found a 3 inch mandral bent exhaust was a good start and made a difference.

You could always flush the pump with a few quick squirts of the next oil to eliminate the majority of contamination if you are still worried. I would just do this. A couple of squirts to push some fresh oil through and will push out anymore oil left in. I use the same technique but with an old oil ...

I have had the Handbrake problem. Everytime it is maintained the handbrake is checked and adjusted. The entire system was overhauled about a year ago and this made a big difference now it will hold on hills. I still do not trust it like I did my patrol handbrake, but they are a totally different set...

I ended up just getting it rebuilt.

$250 for it to be taken off and rebuilt. That sounds OK I think?

It is the Alternator, it was checked out today and no charge coming from it.

It is being rebuilt tomorrow.

Thanks for your help.

Hello, I have a 80 series 1992 GXL factory Turbo diesel. At Christmas all the lights within the dash start to stay on constantly while driving, for example turbo boost, over boost, timing belt, oil, pre heat, alternator and a few others I can not think of. Now over Christmas, when this started to ha...

I would not bother with the fogs, as you said it is still illegal and in my opinion does not offer extra vision. I am not after more low beam light, (standard lights when work properly were ok with the use of high beam) I was mainly interested in the difference the whiter light from HID makes to fat...

I have done a lot more reading and searching into it. I am waiting for some feed back from some US places I email next week so I will make a decision then.

Anything constructive to add to assist me with doing this correctly Scott?

From what I have read, (Not sure if this is correct someone can correct me) is it is not just about adjustment. The reflector needs to be correct or it will throw light everywhere.

I have spoken to trev already, and he said he does get flashed by other cars a bit. Since I need to replace the whole unit I was looking for something that could overcome the glare issue, which would mean less attention from the coppers and not pissing so many people off.

ARB have the IPF ones are these work great. even better with HID.

Are they designed for HID, as in do they have the correct cut offs and block glare from other drivers.

Hi, I am looking to replace the headlight on my Landcruiser 1992 as they are performing substandard and rusting on the reflector. I was also looking at the HID upgrade kits on ebay. I then read this site. I am concerned that installing HID will cause glare for other motorist. http://www.intellexual....

A roof rack as well as my right foot. The note of the new exhaust is great.

Just post up what you were/are getting, someone will come along with the same mods as you and say they are either getting the same or different.

I get about 12l/100km I have had it down to 10.5-11 but yeah that was driving very carefully.

Now with a roof rack on, I am getting 13-14L/100km

Mine has 32inch tyres a bit of weight and Exhaust same as you.

Why don't you also post up your figures?

I would say second low as well.

when do you go?

Do not forget to post pics.

Why not ask around at work if anyone else is going in the same direction. I always feel better when there is another car with me.

Good luck and have fun on the trip.

Hi all, I'm currently in a spot i have a 96 hilux extra cab with an ifs front turbo 2.8, lifted and only 31's most of my outings are to the high country and surrounds mostly medium tracks with the odd hard one's thrown in but the problem is i'm finding i am stopping in places where i should be able...

I gather filter for light trucks 5T plus would have filters speced well enough? A truck filter should be a better spec. As long as it is appropriately sized. i should at least be able to get a good Donaldson filter the fit the housing too. truck filter housings are cheap here Have a look to see if ...

Anyone want to add any others to this list

Are you still a P plater?

Do you think having 38 and a P plate it would not stand out more to the cops.

Plus I already had to wait in the line of Traffic you caused

I found this a while ago and even though it does not state boats, it is good for other towing information. You may want to check how current it is as it was a while ago I found it. http://www.towingguide.com.au/index.html I have a 92 Cruiser and it is only legally able to tow 2.5T The previous owner...

I run 40 psi in my 32inch BFG muddies. However I do like a hard tyre and most of the driving is to work on a freeway. Might try the chalk idea and see how it goes. problem with running tyres 'hard' is that it severely affects braking performance in the wet, when you install a bigger tyre than stand...

I would not worry about it too much, they are not that loud without. Are you doing it yourself or at a shop. If you do not mind me asking where are you getting it done and how much, I am looking at doing mine one day.

I owned a patrol SWB but wanted to move up to a LWB wagon and a diesel for touring as that is what we are mainly into. My Mrs always complained in the GQ that the passenger seat is too small and that there is not enough leg room. I always just ignored it thinking, it is a patrol look at the size of ...

OK my second battery is dead, holding under 50% of it's capacity. It is an orbital at about 12 months old. (Got it from work, I work for a fork lift company so might be no chance of warranty will speak to them tomorrow) Anyway I was thinking of getting something with more A/hrs after reading this th...

I am not in victoria but got them from Mr Filter in Sydney when mine broke twice. After the second time I pissed the whole thing off and went back to an original toyota system with the sensor at the bottom for water. The CAV would only last to 5k kms if I was lucky. The toyota filter has not casued...
