Next time tttl is able to do a run through is end of september, so i know you guys may know other sources where this can be done.
Running through the 4wd system for eg.
A PM will greatly be appreciated
Thnx

Stretch I can refer you to someone in Central. Browne 6844883. He's very experienced ESP with diesel vans.

If you need Oem filters or disc pads, I can assist.

Hey guys...i`m looking for a power steering box for my 1998 4x2 hilux LN145 model...anyone know where i can get this?

[Team Loco]

did you check boodram and sons? also call the guy who advertises daily in the express classifieds. surf and hilux parts

[G-DUB]

Team Loco yes I checked Boodram and Sons they only have for the 4x4 model. I`ll call the guy in the classifieds. Thanks.

[Team Loco]

btw, what goes wrong with these boxes? ive heard of their failure

[G-DUB]

Nothing really goes wrong with them but I guess with age and use seals give way. I changed the seals in my box but it still leaks from the bottom where the pitman arm is...my guess is that the shaft wore the inside of the box. Overnite it leaks about 3-4 drops of fluid.

there is not really a certain mileage assigned to changing shocks. its just when they leak or if he's doing a suspension job. we changed ours at 200000kms, and even then they were still pretty good.

guys am i wrong? does toyota recommend a service interval/shock replacement?

[AdamB]

Anyone has a rough estimate of the total cost to do an engine job on a 2C diesel engine...pistons, rings, beariings, gaskets, labour etc?? Is the gas 2Y engine interchangeable with the 2C? (will work with gearbox?)

[sweeks]

Looks like a man doing a conversion .... Them old Hilux doh done!

[turbohead]

at all, them ting strong like ox..

[AdamB]

Thinking bout it...ah fix d handbrakes, service brakes (front and rear), change front wheel bearings and shocks, adjust steering play(link). Need to sort out the front diff and get an assessment on d engine. ah doh know about diesel, so recommendations / comments welcome. ah guess ah should service injectors and check glow plugs before making any firm decision about changing engine?

[Team Loco]

you issa a girl or wat. wen las you does watch a screen to reverse, when yuh bounce stop....

reverse cameras have become more of a "chick flick" than a realistic tool. the cameras do not give you dept. you can see the object behind you but you but it doesnt give an accurate distance between you and the object.
the simple reverse buzzer that gives the driver shorter interval beeps and you reverse is much more effective.

either way, they are both waste of money. i put those in the category of overdone items that we do not need.
