Hi all, Does anyone know of any LC Colorados or Prados breaking for spares in the UK? Im specifically looking for one with the 3.0l 1KZ-TE and an auto box. I need a section of the engine loom to splice into a Toyota Regius camper with an auto 1KZ-TE also, but seeing as Regus' are as rare as...

Final update to say we fixed the fault. We managed to get a used sensor from a Japanese auction. Swapped it straight in and fault no longer there! (following a test drive to check). It is worth highlighting that the ABS lamp never lit with this fault, the ABS itself just triggered on the side...

Thanks for the pointer. The one RT sell is for the later ODB2 80s, they no longer stock the ones for the earlier 80s like my fathers, nor are they interchangeable as I understand it.

Hi all. A long overdue update on this post. (I personally hate finding threads in forums that have no closure, you've no idea how the issue was progressed or resolved!) Firstly, my dad is thankfully home again and has largely made a full recovery, for which I am very grateful. I checked all...

This is a good point regarding wheel bearings as I did replace all the front ones. I will double check. The brakes were all fully bled at the time so I dont think it is that however.

Yes they were both carefully removed and cleaned before removing the birfs. Ive not looked at this since last post as my dad has been in hospital. The ABS activation was irritating him so we have just pulled the fuse for now. Hopefully will be able to look at it again in a week or two.

Thanks for the replies. @smritte: I didn't replace the axles, I only renewed all seals and all bearings (and rotors) on the front axles (typical axle oil leaking from felt seals on birf). The axle shafts obviously came out for me to clean up and re-grease the CVs. The stub axles were therefore...

Hi all, TLDR version: ABS activates at slow speed (10mph) with very gentle brake pressure on smooth tarmac road. Why? Full version: I recently refurbished the front axle on my dads UK spec 1994 J80 (using the complete roughtrax kit, inner seals, new bearings etc). I carefully removed the ABS...

Good work Doug.

Hi Doug, The wire goes behind the pcb then pops back up through a hole in the middle of the track, this is the solder joint you see immediately to the left of where the orange wire disappears. This just seemed a logical place to finish the jumper as the remainder of the track was good from here...

Hi all, So an update on this. The VSS was indeed healthy, so turned my attention back to the speedo itself. Turns out the darkened tracks on the speedo pcb were high resistance, and were the cause of the fault. I bridged the bad ones out with a bit of wire. I also re-soldered a few of the...

Hi all, 1st post, I'll add an intro elsewhere shortly. Not an 80 owner myself but my Dad is and Ive been helping him maintain his UK 12v J80 4.2 for 10+ years. The speedo and odo recently stopped working and I cant get to the bottom of it. Ive searched a fair bit on here but could not find...
