All done...bearing was $10

Hey thanks 'New'

I'm leaning away from the bearing now 'cause the noise isn't there all the time... could be very wrong there??

Might start with the belt etc, and see what happens from there.

Although, i guess while it's apart, should do the bearing at the same time, just in case :idea:

Thanks ...

...oh well

I'm sorry if my questions seem too simple for you all to pay any attention to, but i've contacted toyota in an attempt to locate a genuine part and they want to sell me the whole pully etc. Is it possible to just get the bearing alone? Will i have to take it out first and try a bearing shop?

Any ...

Hey all,

Haven't been here for a while...

I think i'm having the same problem. Getting a fair bit if noise coming from the pulley/bearing. It's been there for a wile now, it's horrible when there's moisture in the air (rain, humidity etc), and disappears when i've been driving for about 10mins ...

i'll have a better look for the leak on the weekend, i'll start around the dizzy...thanks

so is that just one wrap with the seatbelt, as in a circle. or a double wrap kina thing... if that makes sense :?

can i do the seat belt mod by just undoing the 1 mount or do i have to undo them both and/or ...

... a few pic's

...still ...

Did they report anything unusual while doing the rebuild?

no they didn't... all went pretty smoothly too. they said 10 working days and that's how long it took. it came in a little cheaper than quoted... $2700.

they seemed to be very thorough... as far as i can tell :?
(... my brother in law who ...

the motor went back in last weekend and all seems to be going well(touch wood)

i have a few pics i may post at some stage.

running very smooth, been keeping revs below 3000 while running in... sound ok??
even at these revs she's pulling much better up hills she used to struggle with.

had a nasty ...

my brother in law has delt with these guys before, http://www.duncanfoster.com.au/ for various work and has found them pretty good. they don't touch the cars at all, just engines. no cloak and dagger, it's a total rebuild from the way they descibed it, with a 12mth unlimited kms warranty on all ...

What made you decide to go reco rather than engine swap?

i want to hang on to the little beastie as long as i can, still a heap of exploring to do and i like it's size off-road, so i thought the better long term option was to reco. i know there are plenty of success stories with the applause ...

because i'm so wealthy... :cry: :cry: ... i've decided to go the engine reco option on my engine, instead of the applause swap... pulled the motor out tonight with my brother in law, i must have saved hime a good 4 or 5 mins with all the help i gave him... :oops:

now weighing up clutch, engine ...

...rang a guy who has one for $1300 with a 12mth unlimited kms warranty... worth it??

...just rang ichiban, nothing in stock

...yeah, got ichibahn from one of your old threads AJ, thanks... you happy with your swap??

hey all,

well it's getting close to engine swap time. i've been scrolling through a few old threads on the subject looking for any suppliers of applause swaps, but haven't seen too many mentioned. can anyone point me in the direction of a supplier or 2 that i can ring? i'm in sydney.

also, does ...

i've been running 98 since i bought it (a legacy of the old rover days ). i'll change the o2 sensor, throw a hi-flow filter in and get a tune... it's all good, happy enough with what i've got til the swap/rebuild

thanks once again to all

just had the extractors fitted... hurricanes with flex and bracket in tact.
you can notice the difference but it's only mild. will fit a new o2 sensor and maybe get a tune when i get the chance. how's the heat!!! is it possible/effective to get it heat wrapped once they're in??

yeah, i've been puting off doing the o2 sensor til i had the extractors fitted. i've been quoted approx $400 to supply and fit some hurricanes with some flex and a bracket. don't think the guy i spoke to on the phone is the one who'll be fitting them. i'll have a chat to them on sat morning and make ...

MRT are best for DIY - come ready to bolt on with flex and gearbox mount. If you can see before you buy they'd be worth a look. I've got Hurricanes and am still very happy with them.


david, how did you go fitting in the flex bellows with the hurricanes?? do you still have the gearbox mount ...

hey all,

sorry to visit a well worn topic again, but i just have a couple of questions...

* as mentioned previously, apart from mild power loss and oil usage the current original engine i have is going ok, and i might milk it for a while longer, rather than prematurely swap it now. but i am ...

thanks heaps for all the help/advice... i'll do some investigating re. the applause swap.

thinking along the lines of new motor now, i've been giving her a little bit more abuse. whatever is wrong with it, it can't be too bad at the moment. they seem to really like to rev out and have a great feel ...

tyres are 235/75

so has anyone done the applause swap or know anyone who has, and how did it all go?

what sort of revs were you doing at 145km/h ?

sometimes she seems to sit high to me, other times not... i dunno...

i'm getting no pinging at all, running it on shell optimax 98... not really blowing much smoke either

yeah, got one quote on the motor for a rebuild ...

Progress! :)

Mind you Pedders should have found that and reported it as being loose.....

For shocks are you looking at getting a lift - or do you have a lift at the moment and is it a F300 or F310?

...and how many $$$ do you want to spend! ;)


pedders report just says, "RH rattling", they ...

hey all,

finally had a chance to jump under the roza today and check for 'the rattle'.

the top of the right rear shock was loose and was 'click clacking' around when i moved it. was the same noise i have been hearing for the last few weeks. tightened it up... noise gone. shocks otherwise seem ok ...

My bet is it's your shackle and eye bushes squeaking. Mine were doing the same (when bouncing up and down on the tow bar) until a liberal dose of silicone spray fixed them. ;)

yeah i figured the squeaking would be a little less critical, it's more the rattle i'm worried about. i'll try and get on ...

thanks for the advice...

i've just changed the front pads and they were stuffed so i guess it would be wise to have a look at the rear brakes also...

the ride up the back seems ok. it's a hard ride but i thought that was par for the course with the leafs in the roza. for what it's worth, when i ...

i think they're standard leafs, hasn't been lifted etc... the noise is definately in the rear. everything they have scribbled in their report applies to the rear except the bit about the "driveshafts moving in hubs" ??
