Litre per 100

Thinking of changing the Surf for another Roza !!! Miss that little truck.

The Surf gets between 12.5 & 10.5 litres per 100 K's

Can't remember what Roza did. Can someone refresh my memory.

Cheers Leon...

Have to tell you after stuffing around with the Hiflo injectors for months on end I decided to get my origional ones rebuilt with genuine parts.

What a differance. Genuine is better than cheap made in China sxxt.

Also much improved mileage from 13 to 10.7 lp100k's

Some where near there Rod, I think we turned East the other side of Nowra. Can remember an aircraft or Air force museum we visited the same day.

We were going some where to 4WD but the track was closed due to the bush fires I think.

Yep, Been doing a bit of work on the Surf & got it down to 10.2 litres per 100 k's. Better than the 14 it used to do.

Really am sorry I traded Roza on the Surf.

Love that Avatar, was as close as I've ever come to being upside down. Jacksons lane was where it was taken.

Years ago it was common to use a product called Redex Upper Cylinder Lubricant to do a quick decoke on petrol engines. Remove the plugs, give a good squirt of Redex, let it soak for a while and then start the motor and squirt large amounts of Redex into the carby.

It worked. Plenty of smoke and ...

Hi Guys,

My Toyota Surf diesel is useing a fair amount of engine oil. About 1 litre per 5000k's. It didn't use much oil before I did a trip to Darwin & return a few months ago, days on end at steady engine speeds.

Before I went I changed the oil to a friction modified oil and my mechanic tells ...

Brian, The main reason I'm doing the Glow Plugs other than the fact I'll have removed the induction tubing etc to replace the Injectors at the time is.

I changed the gearbox & transfere case oil to Shell Helix Synthetic, not to sure of the grade.

Was a good move as it defnitly made the box easier to use and the changes sweeter.

Pulled the Alternater out and getting it serviced with a near new vacuum pump fitted.

It got soo every time I used the brake the low vacuum brake light came on. Bit of a worry driving like that. :oops:
