Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The lights havent been touched in years, never thought about it being the dimmer switch, ill check it out.

Cheers!

Problem: When flicking to highbeam, it would seem that im getting a dull "HiBeam" whilst "LowBeam" is staying on. Also when this happens, the blue dash like will not come on. Dull HiBeam will go out when flicked back to low beam. Maybe one or two times out of 20 when driving and flicking to high ...

Ha, cheers blokes...

Yeah i was just curious with the defenders as there were really nothing on car sales. Just was wanted to get a feel for prices and what different year models were going for. Was unable to really find any apart from new ones, hence my curiosity.

Thanks!

So, not technically Tech, but definately about Rovers Since the old landcruiser is getting a bit old, was starting to browse online to see whats around, and landrovers peaked my interests, both the shortys and 110's. Not so many 2nd hand, and the newer ones are still fetching big prices. So, im ...

Thanks for the leads blokes!

Thought this would have been covered in depth, but couldnt find what i was after... Whos put a new seat into their old cruiser (60) Mines pretty much destroyed, so was looking for something a little newer and perhaps a bit more fancy to replace it with.

Ideas?

Just looking at Brake Shoes on Ebay for my cruiser, never bought parts online before, just sussing out recommendations of any sellers/stores that people have had good dealings with in the past on both price & service...

Cheers!

Hi guys, hopefully i can explain this... Just have a new regulator im going to try in my landcruiser 60series... The thing is, the one that is in it, is the newer style electronic one, whereas the one im replacing it with, whilst new, is the older bigger style... Right, so now look at these pictures ...

Thanks a lot mate, very much appreciated!

My dad has an old petrol rocky, think it was an '85. Anyways, took the clutch plate without taking too much notice, and now unsure which direction the new one goes back in... One side has a bigger lip than the other side, and also the springs stick out further this side... Looking at a manual online ...

do that reg like you are saying, warning light is controlled by your external reg. is fairly cheap for a new one too. dont stuff around with a 2nd hand one. the other thing to consider is, have you jump started another vehicle arse up (connected jump leads incorrect). if this is the case the ...

well, ok dont stress... Once i thought about it, i removed a plug from the 2nd cylender, placed it in the last spot so at least the arm could attach to the bus bar and glowplug, then i used an old glowplug that was missing the top half to plug the hole on where i borrowed the other plug from (its ...

ok, well decided tonight to test glowplug resistance... First five plugs, 0.00, the final one, the one closest to the firewall that has the arm attached to it (arm was not attached when testing) showed a resistance of 1.3... So, great, thats buggered i thought, so i unscrewed it to check it out ...

Have had a few problems with charging of battery, where it seems that at times the volts to the battery are up around 14, but at idle and and with low beam lights on, can be as low as 12.6... Have checked brushes in alternator, seem fine, next step was to replace regulator (external). Im not so good ...

For sure... Im sure its a 60 from Panama or somewhere like that, and the guy was on this site i thought!

From the Front

Not mine, but a few i had on my PC... http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4019/4358290259_bb0092b9b8_o.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4040/4358280487_6bc07d5e08.jpg Like the Rear Quarter Job on this one... http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2803/4358304393_b3e2fbfcc9_o.jpg Muddy, but still a 60 http ...

...and on a related note, a few things on here point to problems with a fusable link for the glow plugs... and while im at it fusable link for the regulator? Am i looking for an inline fuse from the leads? The manual mentions this, but bit hard when im not 100% on what im looking at! Just wanted to ...

Cheers, should have tried that perhaps before i bought a new battery... Ha, ahwell, the old man had a hydrometer and this show a few cells to be a bit sub par! Just been trying to work out how this superglow system works, more so for the benefit of my own curiosity. I realise now that there are two ...

Cheers for this info... I have been able to find a lot more info now i have a few more terms to search with... Located the timer box... Have been having a bit of a fiddle under the hood, in hope that i didnt have to spend the money on the timer box, and now even been reading about wiring up a ...

Having been reading through Tech for the past half hour, haven't quite found what i was looking for. Over the past week, My land cruiser with a 2H has been taking longer to fire than normal, mainly first start after sitting for a while, but also longer every other time as well. Now the obvious ...

Ill check that out.. Mines just ticked over 410,000kms, and yeah, runs ok, probably down on power, but i just think thats the beauty of driving a 2H...

Turbo would be nice, but ill save tha for my next 4by when this one rusts to the ground..

I never really noticed that it uses much oil... By looking at your pictures, my plugs really dont look right do they...

What might be the cause?

Ok, well, i started thinking about glowplugs, and took out the first one to have a look, tested it using two bits of wire and the battery, looked ok, then once i had put it back in i looked along the rail and seen the rear glowplug. How i didnt notice this first i dunn... http://i188.photobucket.com ...

Thanks for the advice guys, i have fixed it, was easy to see once i started looking at the glowplugs... ill post up some pics when i get home from work...

ok, found this in another section. Seems it could apply to me, as it did seem to start a lot rougher on cold mornings... Tested my glow plugs on the weekend and found that one was fubarred. replaced it with a Bosch unit ($15 repco) and she starts so much better now. previously it would blow a crap ...

yeah mate... white smoke, the kind that fills up the whole street... ok once its warmed up and running... but if its been sitting for about 8hrs, look out...

But yeah, no smoke at the moment cuz it wont even go... It tries to start, but yeah, wont fire...

alright, seach doesnt work for me anymore, even when i type the word "series" into the toyoya section it says not matches found, fuggit, whatever, thats not my problem... Just need to be pointed into the right direction... Problem: over the last few months, the old 60series diesel has been getting ...

Hey... What do guys do with their 60series that is really starting to bubble around the roof sills and pretty bad A-Pillers. It still runs well for a motor thats done almost 410,000kms and is my Daily Driver also, but would be looking at getting probably a shorty GQ in the near future and would be ...

I dont read much about the model before the TJ, the YJ... thinking it may have been a cheaper option to the TJ with its leaf springs, and minimal interior. Did many of them come into the country, are they any good. See a lot of pics from the states with them sprung over, seems a cheap way to get sum ...
