Yes guys thanks again for the info and help you all supplied the job is finally done all back together and on road.Still a big job for the average person but glad I have done it had acouple of set backs the throttle cable somehow found its way onto the + battery terminal and smoke the house out I ...

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE what a job a real mongrel but not quite as bad as I thought but the gaskets were that bad that the small ribs on the rocker cover gasket that do the sealing had worn away badly.The back spark plug on the left bank was FULL of oil and when I removed the plastic cover to the coils ...

drivesafe and scott thanks guys for clearing that up I was assuming that it didnt really matter but I had to ask so again thanks I do appreciate it.

I was told today by a mate who said that you have to have dual batteries the same size or one battery takes power from the smaller one I couldnt fully understand what he was saying so I thought I would ask the experts.
Sounds a little weird to me but then I dont know all.
Thanks

Thanks mate I appreciate it I can order it now.

Hi Guys just wondering if anyone has removed the intake manifold off a NJ 3500.I think I have to replace the tappet cover gaskets due to suspected oil leaks,but I would like to know what other gaskets and stuff I would need to do the job I know 2 tappet cover gaskets but not sure what else I would ...

Thanks Scott that is going to be my first job to do the tappet cover gaskets atleast if they weren't the problem I have eliminated that section for leaks.I do hope it is a reasonably easy fix as I will do it myself to save a few dollars I'll just go slow and steady pulling it apart and hoipefully no ...

Common sense says yes but it definately is not burning it or blowing any I have had people follow me they say no smoke,no drips nothing that is why it is so bloody frustrating you just cant find anything, I mean it might not be quite that much oil it uses but it would be close.I am going to replace ...

Hi folks haven't been on for a while,but I have my Pajero and it uses about 1-2 liters every 500- 700 klms not good.It has just turned over to 190000klms always serviced oil every 5000 and filter every 10000.There are no oil drips on the floor of shed it doesn't blow ANY smoke even under ...

Hi folks just wondering if any of you people out there know how you connect a 3" pipe snorkel to the flat type air box on my paj.Also you might be able to help me out with marking the hole in the guard too if you can.
Thanks

It sounds like you have silicon on your rims it looks like little fish eyes it is like an oil and the paint dont like it at all.Best thing let them dry thouroughly and then give then a really good rub down with wet and dry paper preferably a 400 grit.Then give the rims a wash in sugar soap a very ...

I dont know if this is right but I heard that an 80 series Cruiser snorkel is the same angles as a genuine Mitsi one.Is this correct or do you folk know of other ones that might fit.I just dont have the folding stuff to buy a new one now but a second hand one I might be able to convince the Minister ...

Me agian just thought I would share with you all the dramas I have just been thru with my Nj using water. It started with it just using about 1ltr or 2ltr over about a week.But I went out one morning to go up the street and I had only gone about 1/2 klm and it boiled.Came home and it was doing the ...

Hi folks just wondering if there is a filter on the air con of this 95 NJ 3500,that needs maintainance doing on it.If so where is it and how do you get to it please.
Thanks

Hi folks just bought myself a second hand long range tank for my Hiulx Ln65 I think made by TJM.Put it in but forgot to check the sender unit worked,stupid I know but I didnt do it.Just wondering if there was a simple way of checking it without having to pull it back out.I assume it simply works off ...

I think I have noticed a small drop in power but to have it evened out by no more smoke and getting nabbed by boys in blue and stuff it is a small price to pay. Again I can only thank you for your help if I was closer mate i would buy you a couple of rounds at the local trains thanks mate.I just ...

I adjusted the fuel mixture about 3/4 of a turn and no more excessive smoke had to bring idle up as ststed but all is fine took it on a 12 hr round trip and no smoke.
I would like to thank all who gave me the info especially trains but thanks to all who helped out.
Many Thanks to you all.

I have touched nothing more than the mixture screw.the pump was a fully reco one so I am guessing that the diaphram would have been replaced. As for the paint on the screws none at all it looks like it has ALL been chemically cleaned no paint at all on any of the screws to look at sorry.But yes the ...

I will try it tomorrow then the max throttle stop isnt even touching the throttle at all wide open never touched that before adjusting the mixture screw should I have done so.Took it for a run still got a constant black smoke even while normal driving not under load.The fuel mixture screw and the ...

I have tried turning the fuel adjustment ANTI CLOCKWISE and so far hasnt made much of a difference gone not quite a 1/3 of a turn.How far can you turn it anti clockwise before it is too much.And it is definitely turning it ANTI CLOCKWISE is the correct direction looks like it is coming out with ...

I will definitely give it a go and let you know I really do appreciate the help.I was curious then as to what is the 14mm lock nut and the allen key screw at the bottom of the pump is for then just curious.
Thanks heaps cant thank you all enough.
thanks

I have tried to contact the ones i got it off but they have either moved or closed down no go on the phone.I found my receipt and it says something about bench flowed and and I remember they said something about spool timing I think not sure.So I would really appreciate any help TRAINS with my pump ...

Yes sorry I forgot to add it it is a 84 LN65R 2.4 ltr hilux.I would really appreciate any info on this.

I have recently got my injector pump rebuilt with the new seals and stuff.But since doing it she blows heaps more smoke than before.I recently went on a 5 hr trip towing a trailer and when I got home the trailer was covered with diesel.I believe that they are supposed to set the pumps up before ...

HI I am having the exact trouble now I have did a little research and have found a replacement ball off a 75 series Cruiser they are a tappered fit with a nut and split pin on them.The other info was correct also you grind the mushroomed part of the ball off and then punch or press it out then put ...

I HAVE PUT ON A NEW INJECTOR PUMP ON MY 84 HILUX DIESEL BUT NOW IT SEEMS TO BE BLOWING A LOT MORE SMOKE THAN IT DID BEFORE.I ALSO THINK IT MAYBE USING A LITTLE MORE FUEL THAN IT DID AS WELL.I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE TIMING BELT.COULD THE TIMING BELT BEING OUT 1 TOOTH OR SOMETHING CAUSE THE EXCESS ...

Just wondering if the fuel sender units are the same in diesel and petrol vehicles???.If so what would be the latest model hilux you could swap sender units in my 84 diesel for.
Thanks.
