Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks Ray185 for your tips. My mechanic does not seem to want to invest in rectifying the issue, so I'm going to take to Toyota direct to check upon your suggested faults. Thanks again...

Sorry Struth I realised I have to register on that site, done so now, awaiting administrator to approve. Meantime can you tell me what the easy solution was???

Thanks Sruth, but your link takes me to a blank forum board 4WD action - can you send the specific link or tell me topic heading to search for on that site? Thanks...

BACKGROUND: Feb 2011 motor recon (by RACQ repair centre) on my 1991 Hilux SR5 4 runner 3VZ-E Hilux motor (VIN JT711VND007001479). First 1000+ km worked like a dream (although I noticed motor slightly pulling/hopping - on and off - at speed). Then suddenly at 2000+ km, motor losing revs (quickly ...

Thanks to the further posters. Appeciated. Thrashlux your offer sounds good, but I want to first investigate the following I found out on the Toytota Surf Owners 4WD Forum (thanks to Deno70 on that website). It seems like it may just be the head gasket (although I would think that all cylinders ...

Thanks Sruth and everyone...Maybe the V8 is not such a good idea. It looks like I need to bite the the bullet for a rebuild. Just need to find someone to do the job in Brisbane...???

Thanks fellas. Sruth, yep finding a good second hand will be difficult!...What V8 would you recommend (I'm not opposed)? Yep when it was running well it went like the wind, never missed a beat, no oil loss...That was a while ago, of course! Evski, thanks mate but a bit of a gamble from Melbourne (I ...

Seeking some guidance: My 1991 SR5 V6 3VZ-E engine (over 350,000 kms) is loosing power daily!!! Mechanic advised last week the misfire on 6th cylinder was compession tested and found to be 50Psi. Not sure if this is values or rings, and worth fixing one cylinder?? Toyota advises $6,700 for full ...

I have a 1991 Hilux 4Runner SR5 limited, VZN130R, IFS. I have factory Toyota steel 16x6 rims (ZERO offset) and standard size flare kit on wheel arches. Currently using 245/70R16 AT tyres. No problems, except 2 wheels are slightly bent and hit a slight shudder at about 80km/h, and I want to fill the ...

Finally spoke to QLD transport modifications. They advised that 'spotlights' are defined as "accessories", and the wording in their modifications guide about "pairs" applies to additional sets of " head lights", not spotlights. Therefore they say that you can run as many lights as you want (pairs or ...

Echoing DroopyPete echoing Bushy555! Bushy555 that script could almost provide enough lighting archive material to do a doco! Thanks fellas - my whole prespective on lights has changed ! I figure though that trial and error will eventually give me an archive list like yours Bushy, but no doubt a ...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Kingy I was gonna post it here first, but thought no no no as I'm a newbie and didn't wanna get banned first go! So since this now this is my second go :twisted: , I won't hold back, and I think the post belongs where I first put it - since its dialog, not tech ...

Thanks Shadow. I suppose it can be argued. I didn't know they use to say single headlight, so it's good artilary to plead adherence to the current word "symmetrical" (i.e. equally spaced), as "pairs" seems arbitary, or - I thought - just written that way to be colloquial. I tried calling them today ...

Thanks oozuk! Got a name? PM me if prefer.

Pete

Hey Peter thanks heaps for clarifying about sealed beams. As I said I hope not (although you never know) to need to put my bonnet under water, and tough luck if I did cause I aint got a snokel! I'm gonna try stay as dry as possible, and yes long distance illumination is something I want for straight ...

Author Message droopypete Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2006 2:17 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You haven't said what vehicle or its use, but if these lights are going to see any water go sealed beams. Peter. Peter - my light purchase is intended for my ...

Recently bought 1991 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Limited 3Ltr Petrol in good shape - want to keep it that way, so wonder if any forum posters can recommend a decent Hilux specialist mechanic who's easy to talk to, enthusiastic and take good trusted care of my Lux? I'm in Brisbane QLD (Southside). Any ...

I'm in Brisbane, and the QLD transport modifcation guide for vehicles under 4.5 tonne ( http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/qt/LTASinfo.nsf/ReferenceLookup/Modification_Jan05v2.pdf/$file/Modification_Jan05v2.pdf ) says "Additional PAIRS of headlights...may be fitted and must not affect the driver’s view. ...
