Re: 100 series problems

Took the car to a auto specialist who said the first step to most problems is a simple service. Agreed to that and guess what, all fixed. Hasn't happened since and that was 2 weeks ago. He said that if the service didn't fix it the Throttle Position Sensor was the next step. He did say that some of ...

100 series problems

I'm heading off to the simpson desert in July and there appears to be a couple of issues I need to get looked at before I go. They are: 1) The main seal is leaking but not a heap. I'm going to try that stop leak stuff and see what effect it has but should I get it fixed. Is it likely to fail in a ...

Short answer is yes 2 mates are about to add longrange tanks to their cars. IIRC one is replacing the main with a unit that leaves not enough room for the spare. IIRC the other is replacing the sub only and keeping the spare in place. Unsure of what brand either are but will find out and post ...

Fitting New Fuel Tank

A couple of years ago I converted my 100 series landcrusier to LPG. I ended up getting two 45lt tanks mounted to the chassis rails on each side so I could keep my sub tank and also keep the spare wheel under the rear. The above set up has caused a problem though, I can not get side rails installed ...

Was running in low range that day and had a clean radiator with new coolant. As I said it was only serviced a few days before.

His mechanic has offered to check the cooling system to see if there are any faults. Any advice on what he should be looking for?

Overheating question

A mate of mine recently bought a Jeep Cherokee, a 1994 model I think. Anyway 2 days after having the car serviced we went for a drive on Stockton to see how it goes in the sand. It went OK until it started to over heat. Now both of us have very little mechanical knowledge but we lifted to bonnet ...
