    5 Spd Pops Out Of 5th

    I had this problem and apparently it usually is a worn selector fork but my gearbox had been rebuilt recently so I did not think/hoped this was not the case. The shop had a play with it and thought that it felt like the gear was not quite engaging properly so they got inside and bent the...

    12HT stalling

    I had this problem with my 61 when I bought it. Only used to happen when the vehicle was cold and usually at the 1st to 2nd gear change as you were half way across a large intersection -all of a sudden no go and no power steering with cars up ya butt. fortunately the 61 would start again...

    Battery, Filter & Orange Turbo Lights All Came On?

    Hi I get this in my HJ61 whenever I drive through water deeper than 300mm! I think there is loose or not watertight connection somewhere around the cable diff lock housings as those lights come on too. cheers Gerard

    -25C cold start 12HT high revving

    I dont know tghe answer to your question but maybe a frozen linkage sounds like the first place to look. The 12h-t has some kind of çhoke"arrangement in the fuel delivery system and when cold it will idle fast until warm and then drop back, just like the previous post described, 950 to 650...

    wet floor boards after rain, maybe windshield gasket?

    I have this problem as well and have searched high and low for the answer, literally. Exploroz forum gave me a hot tip that it was coming from the sunroof but it isnt and I have tried just about every other suggested place but it is still getting in somehow. Without removing the entire dash I...

    Under bonnet pix from "Know-it-all from NZ"

    "Easiest way around that is LED lights. Thankfully most hire trailers are going that way (because they're sick of 24v vehicles popping their bulbs)" I've looked at it but they were still a bit pricey when I last looked though it would not take much to make your own LCD array in the existing...

    Under bonnet pix from "Know-it-all from NZ"

    ooooooooooooooooooooh now youve done it, there is nothing worse than calling a kiwi an aussie! '(cept maybe calling a canadian an american) well it was a bit of a generalisation but what I mean is that there appears to be much more activity on the general 60 series board which is primarily FJ...

    Under bonnet pix from "Know-it-all from NZ"

    LOL, I love the train quip, no-one takes the piss better than an aussie there is quite a number of kiwis visit this board but apart from the odd exception we dont seem to post much. Might be cos we mostly have diesel cruisers and the north americanos have the petrol version I'm talking...

    Dash Swap Questions

    Hiya I remember what i can from my dash swap but I went the other to you -I put a 62 dash into my 61. First check whether both dashs are from 24 or 12v vehicles, it may require some swapping of bulbs, clocks, gauges etyc if not the same. I swapped out the dash top, gauges gauges/heater...

    Advice on connecting 24v to 12v converter

    24v-12v converter is easy to hook up, find a good 24v feed, I found one was going to the key barrell in under the steering column . I also had a factory feed in a little black box under the hood but not all cruisers have this. Make a good earth connection and away you go. However for your case...

    Diesel Conversions - the numbers!

    I have noted all fill ups for a 3B and 12h-t for 2.5 years each. Both had similar odometer:175000 start and 225000 to date Worst values were towing horse trailers or idling up braided riverbeds, loaded to gunwales. Best values cruising on open road at 100km/h. The fuel economy was very...
