Hi All, 3.0L TD - go to start and motor turns over a few times then cuts out completely. Engine light (Orange) flashes. Turn accessories on and off 3-4 times and light stays steady and engine starts. Once started - all ok. Never stalls or faulters. Had service by a HOLDEN dealer.....they were told ...

Hi All, I have recently acquired an RA 3.0L TD duel cab . Couple of things l am after some info on as l have never owned a Rodeo before: 1. Tyres - What is best size. (Standard suspension). Can l go to 15"?? 2. Exhuast - 2.5" ok? Want to get that turbo spooling a whole lot quicker. 3. Power - any ...

Thanks for that boys.

I will pass, what you have confirmed for me, onto old mate for his own concideration in purchasing this truck....



Mike

Has 290 ish kms on it.

$10000

i think it is way over priced.

Hi Giys,

Could l get an idea of what to look for mechanically in a 1991 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER FJ80R GXL?

It has:
7 inch King springs
Tough Dog adjustable panhard rods
Caster plates
35 simexes.


Just wondering if it needs engineering with a 7" lift?
Does not come with a RWC....


Thanks

Thanks for that Joel.

The valves - would they be causing the smoke when the engine is cold at all?


Mike

Boys According to dealer - Valve stems seals on a 1991 GQ 4.2 Petrol 210,000kms. Blowing smoke on start up until warm (is this related to this seal anyway??) Engine is not running LPG. What sort of drama does this job entail? Labour/cost wise? Looking to purchase this truck. Or is it not worth it ...

Hey Boys, Got a young mate looking into a: 1989 BJ73RV SWB Landcruiser (Fibre Reinforced Plastic) 380,000kms 4 cylinder Diesel Multi-point injected 3.4L Manual RWC/Red 'til DEC 08 $8000. Being a Landy man l am not to up with the LC situation and am after some info on this beast please? Advice? He is ...

Be warned:

High km TD5s can become a financial nightmare! -Injector harnesses
-ECU's
-ABS/TC/HDC 'issue'
-ABS sensors

There are people on here that can be far more specific - BUT these were just part of my drama.

Awesome engine. BUT would never keep another one so long.



Mike

Just some advice/wisdom! (200TDi Defender:) On a recent trip that did involved a bit of mud/water 2 warning lights came on: Brake Warning (not handbrake) - which is meant to to mean turn off and not drive till sorted. In that there is meant to be a leak somewhere? Had a very spongy pedal. But a few ...

Dan

True l was on that Guides course...l have heard plenty about you - hmmm. Have to catch for a beer sometime.

I too have used that area for some time, and have just watched it become more and more abused. Sad really.


Tread lightly!



Beechy

Bogged

Agree about the break - BUT
Fresh or not - still been done. Still reckless!

Evening to all! Something a little negative... I was out doing some field work in Bunyip/Gembrook S.P. on Tuesday for a school trip in the area shortly, and l came across an open gate. Very strange l thought... On closer inspection - clearly it had been forced (winch style) - as it was bent almost ...

Looking to put lights on the front of my Tradesman Roof Rack on the Defender - need more light out front/to side. Two things: 1.What brand good up there? Have used 'no-name' in the past? 2. What size is best? 220mm?? Not looking to spend $500 - as they get bashed by tress and shit being chucked on ...

Anyone know how deep (mm) the tread is on a new BFG Mud???


Cheers,


Mike

Am looking at new set of tyres. Any feedback on the Sumitomo Muds 33x12.5-15 $220.00@ fitted in Melbourne l mainly do touring (high country) and some heavy towing. I am running 15'' Sunnies at the moment with BFG A/T's on them....timehas come to change them? What are people's thoughts??? Cheers, Mike

Not really sure as i only looked at it once i had dismantled everything....including the lever....


Mike

So what are oyur thoughts Cloughy????


Leave it be or mess with it????


Mike

In process of replacing the release lever (and clutch while l am at it) in my Defender 200 after it punched a hole through itself in the High Country 2 weeks back leaving me strandard so to speak! But , while l have the lot out, l noticed that the centre diff has about a 1/8th of a turn of slack in ...

Is all the Vic High Country open? Lat l heard it was still locked up????

Can a man get through to Dargo/Licola???


Mike

Is there a noticeable difference if one was to have the injector pump 'played' with. Spoke to a reputable Rover workshop today and their spin on it is that it is worth doing! They said it basically makes it a little nicer to drive. i.e. when cold, up hills etc. No REAL world impact on fuel economy ...

Where is the best place to go for Maxi Drive axles (1994 Defender)? Heard that Fred Smith Automotive is solid.

What sort of time (labor wise) is in doing the timing belt in a 200TDi Fender?

Just bought one - nad not sure of when it was last done - so for peace of mind.......


Cheers,

Mike

How many kms can one expect from the clutch in 200TDi 'Fender?

Does the replacment clutch have to be as hard as the factory number?

Cherr,s

Mike

So you can just fit the pod without replacing the entire dash. They want $500 for the complete dash! Pod is $150.

How much cutting is invloved!?


Mike

Yeah - other reason being more switches. Currently they are placed in awkward locations. Did you just put the centre facisa in - or the whole dash door-to-door?


Mike

Cheers on that mate - yeah - used to having to stuff around. Can do myself.

Thanks

I have a stuffed dash - cracked etc - and have access to a TD5 Defender dash (not the instrument panel) can l fit it to my 200 TDi? Including the centre "pod" that the radio, elec weindow buttons etc, are mounted on??? I know the loeve system is different - is this changeable also (the TD5 system is ...
