Hey guys, So I have a manual GXL 2000 HZJ105r, great maintenance history. Today I have noticed a constant clunking sound when in reverse, and it's only in reverse. I select reverse gear, and it goes in easily. When I let the clutch out and start slowly I can't hear it. Once I speed up I can...

Victoria, out in the Dandenong Ranges. I can drive though.

How much does that kind of thing cost And where do you get it done?

Thanks so much for the help, hopefully it's nothing! I'll do the flush today using the nulon pro strength stuff and order some of the stuff you linked in 2,00km. On a side note, and considering its not allowed, so from a purely academic perspective. How would I go about doing an EGR delete?

I feel so stupid, I'll do all of that today. I hope my baby is okay haha. I'll update in 5,000km! So it's okay to do the oil flush with this potential problem?

It's done about 350,000km. I'll go get one today, should I change the oil again and do a flush? It's been maybe 100km since I changed the oil. I did hit some stuff with a hammer while the drain pan was under the car and I also rounded the socket on the filter remover tool above the drain pan...

The oil was last changed 11000km ago buy a mechanic at a 4x4 garage he reckons the engine was in great condition. I know I left it an extra 1000km , but I'm going to start changing it every 5000km and filter every 10000km from now on. Also, can I use the Nulon engine flush or the luquimolly...

Also, every now and again on the oil filter there is a little bit of sparkle. They are only on one side of it though? FYI this was my first ever oil change.

Hello, Okay I've taken that all on board. The particles are indeed magnetic, lucky I saved them (picture attached). It has a custom air filter in it designed to stop dusting, and it's doing very well. Im a bit confused as to what could be causing such dirty oil? The sump plug was clean when...

Here are some pictures of what I found. Oil filter completely clear, nothing on it at all. What are your thoughts? I cant really jistify a $22,000 rebuild.

Not really, it runs like a dream as I said. A little black smoke every now and again on full throttle but that's it. I did an oil change recently and there were some tiny pieces of metal in the oil but my mechanic said that it's okay (especially since there was nothing in the oil filter at...

Hello all! First post here! I am terminally paranoid about the 1VD-FTV In my 2010 VDJ76r. While the engine is great, its strong and runs beautifully - 10.8L/100km highway driving! I am terminally paranoid about breaking it! If the time does come to rebuild the engine or replace it, I was...
