Hi Chaps I need to put a speedi sleeve on the front crank seal on my 2.8 My manual has been loaned out and I cant get to it for now. I need the speedi sleeve no, or crank measurements/ dimensions for choosing said sleeve. Hope those who have done so have kept those details and can help me. Much ...

Have also come across non gen water pumps with impellors being either. A: crap design, and flimsy, wont circulate water effectively. B: impellor depth incorrect, and thus poor circulation. As already mentioned, ensure shrouds are correctly fitted, 1/4" weather strip self adhesive foam is good to ...

Sounds pretty typical. lower rpm, load it up, and get fuel into it, and it gets hot. Back one gear, less load on motor, higher rpm, less fuel, then temp comes down. If your chasing things, look at its fuel delivery on large throttle settings, ie pump setting. sounds like its getting a bit too much ...

i presonaly dont feel it at idle but when i got dad to try it he did say it didnt seem right n my mechanic i got to first look at it said straight away once he started it it was rough at idle. so at this stage im going back to the drawing board and taking out the gearbox mount n comparing it to my ...

15/40 will be fine

hey all, i have had a bit of a look using the search function for problems regarding hilux idle issues. it might be the keywords that i am using. as of yesterday the lux started to have idle issues. when i back off the throttle when coming up to a set of lights it dies in the arse and is stalling ...

Get a gregories manual, or similar and you will be fine. Yes, do both sides. Get some rubber grease in a tube for reassembly. Remove pads, pump out pistons from calipers, but dont pop them out unless all the pistons have come out near evenly, which will make it easier to remove the pistons once the ...

Hey guys, I recently changed the rear wheel cylinders on both sides as well as the brake shoes. I have bled the system 2 times starting from the master cylinder then to rear left etc etc as according to the manual. Now i have a weird noise that is coming from what seems to be the front of the ...

"Duel" batteries fight. Two batteries in one system are "dual" batteries. Did you try Googling that? ;) Not that spelling really matters. :finger: yea, you read my mind!! anytime someone says 'duel' i think of two knights in armour waving swords around - thats why i clicked into this - wanted to ...

Take it to a truck tyre repair place, they do sidewall repairs all the time if the tyre can be repaired.

Safe, legal, and should last the life of the tyre.

I would be checking your earths. Do you have one from your battery to chassis?? if so, take it off and clean it to make sure you have a good earth. When you get wierd voltages making different lights work, and not work, its most likely a bad earth, the resisitance is too high, and electrickery being ...

So how is it working now mate??

what did you find?

What has happened is the precomp has had cracks in it and the lost ist interference fit with the head. It has been allowed to move and eventually caused this damage. I would be pushing very hard for warranty. Good luck Andy Andy, what causes precomp chambers to come out, apart from machining the ...

How long since tyres were rotated? This is normal heel-toe wear for bulky treads. different tyres will do it to different degrees on different vehicles. However ALL tyres on ALL vehicles WILL do it. To fix, rotate your tyres. Minor things will change the effect, such as shocks and alignment etc ...

Most likely cause is a wiper motor that needs a few drops of oil on its bushes. Have come across quite a number now that responded well to removing the motor. Often no more than 3 bolts, earth wire, and pop out the knuckle joint from the wiper mech, remove cover, and a few drops of light sewing ...

Thanks for letting us know.

So from now on, no more welding with the battery connected eh hehe.

Its just a breather.
If you fit extended diff breathers, and gearbox breathers, dont forget to fit an extended breather to the fuel tank as well, put it on the opposite side of the filler up behind the cab.

I fully intend to get a dual battery setup. My question is how does it really compare on 12v? Does anyone have any quantitive experience? IE, will it at least keep frozen items frozen in say 32-40°C ambient Will it chill down a 1.5L bottle of softdrink in a reasonable time under the same conditions? ...

Ok this is what happened.. Im inside with my wife and baby, and we hear my Landcruisers (right outside, within meters) engine crank over and the alarm go off. I grabbed my keys, ran outside and i see the cruiser driving slowly away but no-one inside, engine was cranking still and it was in first ...

Most often you can damage the diodes in the alternator. The alternator creates an ac current, the diodes convert it to DC Thats my suggestion. Take it apart, test with a multimeter, rekon you have a fried diode or 2. ALWAYS disconect the battery when welding in any car. Trains Thanks mate, I'll ...

TJM Coopers Plains have 60lt evercools on special. I take it the new style are the plastic ones, like the waeco. the fibreglass ones have much better insulation and therefore draw less power, but they run the same compressor. (same compressor as waeco's too). the fibreglass model has a removable ...

TJM Coopers Plains have 60lt evercools on special. $899 gets you # 60lt evercool (the new style) # fridge bag. # 240 - 12 wat inverter. $799 gets you the same deal for a 50lt $699 for the 40lt deal.. that leaves you enough spare for a fridge slide, or an awning. for more info call me at work. YES ...

We got a 47lt evakool, and a 20lt icecool icebox. Works out as freezer, fridge, and crisper. Transfer frozen 1.25lt bottle every day or 2nd day into the icebox, and also the days chilled beers are still chilled the next day in the icecool. Great for space, and excellent on power usage, 2.5 amps/ hr ...

take the wheel off, take the stalk high/ low internals apart, clean contacts, fit with new grease, and you should be fine. After doing this, fit a decent relay so your switch is no longer running high current, and you will be fine for years of trouble free service. T :armsup: :armsup: :armsup ...

Are you using the sr5 oil pressure gauge, or a calibrated screw into the block type, and what are the pressures at idle, and at 3000rpm.

they should be for a DIESEL 3L 2.8ltr

idle. more than 30kpa
3000 294 to 539kpa.

Let us know if there within those specs.

If you do a search, you will find alot regarding cem oil flush, and other advice, which may damage your motor using diesel instead of oil. When I got my hilux, I did an oil change, ran for a few hrs, change again, another run, change again, run next day, change it, and then after a week changed it ...

Regarding the leak, is it a diesel leak, or coolant? Re oil use, it could be that due to poor servicing, the oil control rings are sooted and jammed up. some good maintainence should begin to address that. Re glow plugs.....replace them. Re starter motor, remove, clean and refit before spending ...

Mate, get some safety glasses, and go down to a car wash place, and hit the front hubs till they have no more mud gunk on them.
Will make it a whole lot easier to follow above info.

Um, all cars have voltage regulators.

Are you asking if there internal, or external for your vehicle?

the 4x4 diesel 90 model will be a 70a internally regulated alt.
no idea on the petty.
