Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My hzj79r landcruiser utility has s few issues that are concerning me. When I start it cold it will start instantly but when warm/hot it will take about 4-5 cranks. Yesterday it started doing it when cold as well. My fuel economy isn't great, I'm only getting like 400kms tills its on a quarter tank ...

i found that right before the rear sub tank, theres a connector join. The connector on the side running to the battery is a 3 way connector with 3 cables going into it. The connector running from the fuel tank is a 3 way connector with only 2 cables running out of it. Am i missing an earth from the ...

Just invested in a 1999 hzj79r. I have pulled the fuse box cover off and a lot of fuses are missing. Can anybody post a diagram or explanations for each of the fuse codes so that i can work out what i need and what i dont. For example glow, 7.5A fuse is missing. Does this have something to do with ...

thanks for that mate.

No where under the bonnet do i find the sender so i can test whether or not its faulty.

Thanks for the replys. Where would I find the sender?

How do I short the sender wire? What do I do If it's a faulty sender?

The sub tank fuel gauge on my 1999 toyota landcruiser ute hzj79r doesnt work at all. What can i do to fix this?

Just bought a 79 series cruiser utility. Will 15x8 rims with 33" tyres fit on it factory?

I have a 1983 mq patrol with a 2 inch suspension lift. I am currently running 31 inch goodyear wranglers but i want to upgrade to 33 inch maxxis bighorns. Will i be able to fit 33's on the mq no worries? Will it scrape at all at full lock or full articulation? Will i notice much power loss? I have a ...

Can anybody reccomend a diesel mechanic in brisbane? My mq patrol is only running on 5 cylinders at the moment because she is misfiring on the 6th. Im looking for a reasonably priced mechanic who knows diesels.
Cheers in advance fellas.

it runs fine but just lacks power. Some times the 6th cylinder will fire but majority of the time it won't.

its a diesel mate. I did go through some water and she was fine before, but it doesnt sound like its shagged and its just the one cylinder. Can that be fixed without having to replace the motor?

My mq patrol appears to be running 5 out of 6 cylinders atm. I am not hearing any loud banging noises or anything like that, she just appears to lack a bit of power. What can be done to fix this? If the 6th cylinder is rooted, is there a way of fixing it without having to replace the whole motor ...

When i drove through some water in my 1983 diesel mq patrol she just suddenly turned off and i have not been able to start her since. The car will crank normally but will not start. I have considered water in the motor, but it is reasonably unlikely because of how deep the water was. It was nearly ...

can anybody give some directions for how to do that?

My 1983 MQ diesel patrol is currently not starting. The engine cranks slowly when i go to start it but it will not kick over. This all started happening a week ago when i was going through a water crossing. While i was driving my car just stopped. It was as if the key had just been turned off. From ...

can you explain the oil cut out to the motor a bit more? Would that mean that the starter motor isnt cranking enough (because of lack of oil) therefore it wont kick over? Also, any idea where i would find the glow plugs on the engine. I couldn't seem to find them anywhere. I will try clutch starting ...

Diesel motor. Water was probably up to my flares highest probably lower. When i drove through the water my car immediately stopped, almost as if the key was turned off. From then on she will not start.

After driving through water/mud over the weekend my car conked out through a water crossing. It would not start from then on. I assume that the starter motor has got a gutful of water, or some sort of electronics have been flooded because i highly doubt any water got into the engine. The motor will ...

yeah the noise gets worse with higher revs.

I would call it a screech mate. I don't have power steering and have not noticed a major difference while steering.

My 1983 mq patrol has started squeaking for around 5-10mins of driving after it has been turned on. I have been letting her warm up for around that time before i start driving because the noise does not sound good. The noise seems to disappear after that time, however, if i get high enough revs the ...
